Positive: Absolutely gorgeous slice of paradise. The swimming areas and hang outs spots are heaven. The hammocks are great to sleep in, nice and big and there is a breeze at night. We enjoyed our stay, however, there are a few things that we think need improving which I will mentioned below. Despite the few issues it’s still definitely worth going!
Negative: You are not able to bring your own food or drinks onto the island, which is totally understandable. However, unfortunately we found it to be overpriced for what you get. Especially the breakfast which is 30 000 for a very small portion of basic breakfast. We also found the activities to be overpriced for what they were. We opted for the snorkelling which is 50 000 for 40 minutes. It would have been great, however the snorkel equipment is broken. The snorkel does not attach to the goggles and the mouth piece is missing. Therefore you can’t really use the snorkel. We kindly mentioned this to the staff on our return however we were ignored and the subject was changed. There is no atmosphere at the hostel, which was fine for us however if you are looking for a social vibe then it may not be for you.
Summary: Beautiful paradise with a couple of things that need improving

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Very good price, good location near other islands and attractions. Nice clear water beach accessible in less than 1 minute walk, which is nice so you have peace and quite near the rooms
Negative: As off Sep 24' the hostel has some renovations going on. There is no running water so you shower only once a day with a bucket. Also no kitchen and drinking water only available for purchase in small portions. Electricity runs only at night and sometimes fails...
Summary: If you know what to expect, then you'll have the best time

Positive: The location is insane - the beach area is exactly as in the pictures full of exotic fish to see and is great for snorkelling. The staff were amazing taking us on an incredible boat tour of the islands for free, we had such a blast playing football on the beach and drinking wine with the staff which ended with a swim amongst bioluminescent plankton in a mangrove forest under the stars. They had great volunteers, like Will, who went out of his way to make us feel welcome and part of the group.
Negative: The aircon in our room didn’t work and there is of course an electricity blackout during the day, however understandable considering the remoteness of the island. Breakfast isn’t included and price is not listed on the menu so we were surprised to end up paying 30,000 per day for it at the end. The food is a bit greasy but altogether not bad.
Summary: Island paradise for a steal
