A fabulous hotel. Incredibly friendly and helpful folks - I've never hugged hotel staff when leaving before, but here it felt right. We ate at the restaurant every night as it was delicious, with an excellent choice of 4 vegan mains. Some reviews have complained about price, I thought it comparable to American cost and portion sizes (around 20 USD for a main course). Service is slow, as it is a tiny kitchen, so we were encouraged to send our order by WhatsApp in advance to enable planning. The rooms are really quirky. We stayed in the Almond Tree, with it's bamboo walls and internal ladder. The bathroom is at funny angles to get around tree roots but this added to the quirkiness. Some of the carving is from Charles Brown, who has his workshop nearby - well worth visiting for local made wood carving. The private beach is lovely, with lots of loungers and hammocks in the shade of the trees and some rock pool areas for splashing. I wasn't confident enough to swim in the sea as it looked a little rough. Instead I swam in the larger of the 2 swimming pools. The ground and rooms are very uneven, as the hotel is built around large trees and their roots. This is not the place to stay if you are unsteady on your feet. It wasn't easy to wheel a suitcase around.
