Summary: Very nice place to stay if you are after basic but good honest accommodation (not the place if you are after aircon and a big multi channel flat screen TV) The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very friendly & helpful. Located right on the beach (but as others have said swimming not possible) and a very well stocked store just over the road. You do need transport to have freedom to get around - but the hire scooters from Muri are cheap, safe & really fun. Highly recommended (with the above conditions). Ian C

Summary: Hosts pleasant & helpful. Accomodation nicely decorated by talented host. Not a swimming beach. Need transport or use bus service. A good stocked store within walking distance. A compendium of local amenities would be useful especially for 1st time visitors. Overall a pleasant 3 day stay.

Summary: Location and rooms were excellent, hosts were lovely. Only disappointment was the ceiling leaking due to heavy rains on last night, woke up to very wet ankle deep water on the bedroom floor. Would however definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Summary: We had an ocean view villa with a large deck overlooking the sea. The room was spacious and decorated with the owner's art and craft. Great shower and full-sized fridge. The amenities were a bit tired, with bed linen, crockery and cutlery below par. More towels would have been good, as we only had one each for our five night stay, and they didn't dry out in-between use because of the humidity.

Summary: A great place to stay. We were welcomed from arrival and our hosts were friendly and helpful. A small supermarket was only a 2 minute walk. We hired a 2 person scooter to get around and enjoy the island and this is a great way to explore. Snorkelling is a few kms away but fantastic. We would certainly recommend Tropical Sands and hope to go back some day
