  Great rooms, service needs improving

  Rooms were nice, well presented and spacious. Air con was good and beds very comfortable. Views amazing and just as per the photos. Staff were friendly and they do work very hard to try and please guests. Organised seaplane transfer for us. Great drinks. Reasonable prices.

  Food was a big let down. Very limited choices which is expected on local island however despite me informing them in advance I was vegetarian they did not have many thinga on the menu. They then ran out of many more ingredients and said this was due to storms meaning deliveries were not received. However some of these things were on sale at local shop just around the corner so we felt they could have tried harder to accommodate. I also felt as though they just didn't want to cook a la carte sometimes. Also food did not measure up to other local guest house that we ate at, it just didnt taste as nice and presentation wasn't as good. Housekeeping came at different times each day making it hard to predict. One occasion I was left sitting soaking wet on stairs outside my room as we came back from snorkelling just as they were about to start cleaning it. This is not really acceptable. Behind the bathroom basin was filthy as was the chessboard in reception. Bathroom blind came off the wall in one room so we had to wait for it to be fixed. Blind in the other room was stuck meant I had to shower sitting down to avoid flashing people through the window. No printed invoice provided to confirm breakdown of seaplane tranafer charges and tourist taxes which we paid on arrival and no paperwork on check out either. Some pre arrival communications were a little confusing or blunt. I think they do a lot on trust and perhaps don't understand this is not how it is usually done. We decided not to do any excursions and we were glad as we had doubts about the safety. No life jackets provided on speedboat shuttle to and from seaplanes. We observed a guided snorkelling trip on house reef which appeared to be chaos with people clinging to rubber rings in rougher water and taken straight out to reef drop off. They soon came back thankfully! We were told that any snorkelling was done in deeper water so non swimmers could remain vertical and not touch corals.
