Acajou offered exactly what my wife and I needed for a short staycation. A few minutes walk to the beach which walks more of having your own private getaway. The food was home cooked and delicious. Very friendly and courteous staff who were more than accommodating. We had the ability to see nesting turtles from our hut! Will be rebooking and recommending. Thank you Acajou!

This place is a hidden gem ! I am totally in love with the location and the hotel. This is paradise. Stayed only one night for a last minute getaway while visiting my parents on the island and the moment I walked in i fell in love. The cabins were so beautiful , relaxing and heavenly . The staff is very friendly, courteous and just amazing , they made our stay very comfortable . When I opened the sliding door to the back patio of the cabin and I saw the view , it took my breath away . The food is also amazing , we had breakfast , lunch and dinner and everything was absolutely delicious. Guy I am really I love with this place and will be booking a 7 day stay in April. I can’t wait to go back .

The beach and river were lovely. The sheets were cotton and comfortable. The bed was nice. The bathroom was clean. There is no A.C but the place is well ventilated and cool. The place can be fenced a bit better and I find it overall overpriced. 5 star hotels are priced like that and this is 3 star.

My husband and I spent the weekend here. From the moment we arrived, the peacefulness was the first thing we felt. The property is well-maintained, the staff all very pleasant, and the food at the restaurant was great. There's a hammock and chairs on the deck, facing the garden, and the sea beyond. If my husband could have spent the whole weekend on that hammock, he would have.

It's a little untidy and rundown on the path heading to the beach, needs to be cleaned and kept in better condition. People really need to stop littering on the beach.

Positives: Wonderful staff, lovely dinner and huge delicious breakfasts. I've stayed at this property on two other occasions in the years past. Although the rooms were clean, clearly there were signs that deeper cleaning along with upgrades are definitely needed. The grass on the outdoor was cut neatly, but again more maintenance is needed.

Beautiful stay and close to the Turtles
Lovely place, amazing food. The only issue was it is not cheap! It is slightly too expensive for what you get but maybe that’s the price you pay to stay this far off the beaten track. No aircon was just about made up for with the fans being sufficient and I suppose it is more environmentally friendly. The hotel arranged for us to be taken to the turtle centre after dinner and seeing a dozen or so turtles laying eggs was a highlight of our whole trip, so well worth the extra expense as there is no better place in the world.

My husband and I celebrated our third anniversary at Acajou. It was amazing! It was peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Our Cabin was lovely and clean with the wonderful view of the river and ocean. The hammock was wonderful and relaxing. We even got a treat as we were able to see two leather back turtles during an early morning walk on the beach. The food was oh so delicious! Dinner was just fabulous. Staff were very attentive and helpful. I am so happy we decided to visit and I definitely would like to return.

Acajou is such a hidden gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and every one of the staff was so friendly. The restaurant's food is quite delicious and all homemade. The beach was ok but the river was quite nice. We got to see the turtles lay eggs which was a first for us. We will definitely stay there again! My only advice is to walk with enough bug spray.

Cute little cabins along the river and within view of the ocean. The property is beautiful with lots of trees and flowers. Very relaxing and serene with sounds of birds and the ocean waves crashing. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The hammock on the deck being our favourite spot to relax. The beach is a short walk away. The food served in the restaurant was exceptional and the staff very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing or romantic getaway.

The staff were warm and friendly. The food was also great however, there was no electricity, which isn't their fault but for such an established place they can more than invest in a generator or some battery powered lights, the bathroom was laced with molds and cobwebs could be seen in the corners.
