Their beautiful smiles, they remember everyone’s names and ensure every part of your stay is catered for. Remember there are no shops near by other than the village shop which holds minimal items, so pack the extra nibbles and treats. The bistro at the resort ran out whilst we were there. Remembering you are on a secluded island & delivery of items can take time."
