Why go
About as good as it gets for beach lovers
The beaches are stunning and they rarely get crowded. We went in May and it felt like we had them all to ourselves.
It is also the best food I have found in the Caribbean, and the service is outstanding. It is not a budget island, so plan for that, and it suits people who can spend all day at the beach.
Keeley’s tip
The no see ums are real here. Start using bug wipes before you get bitten.
