Great time! - So amazing! The private cabana had many places to sit, relax and enjoy the breathtaking view. The food was very nice. While snorkeling the instructor told us about the different types of fish and threw fish food to help gather them around. The water is very clean and clear and so refreshing to take a dip in with the warm air. When there’s a breeze you don’t even get chilly because it’s so warm.

Fun!! - This was a great experience not sure what all the negative reviews are about. The island we traveled to was nice and well kept food was pretty good although chicken could be a bit overcooked. The team is very friendly and Captain Donovan was great!! The only thing I’d wish for is to have a longer boat ride asides from that I had a great experience :)

Pleasant Beach Day - If you are looking for a nice day on a nice beach with crystal clear water it’s a very nice experience. Food was just average and don’t expect to leave early. We were the first shuttle to arrive in the morning so we had no problem getting great seats. Bartender was very pleasant and mixed STRONG drinks. We enjoyed our experience very much.

Small Beach - We came here on a cruise excursion. It is very small, limited beach chairs, and little actual beach area. The beach chairs were uncomfortable. The metal would dig into your back. There werent many chairs on the actual sand and most were a walk from there. There wasnt many shaded areas as well. The included food (Chicken Leg, fried fish, rice, veg) was mediocre. The coconut was $15 / $20 w alcohol. The ride on the ferry was almost an hr. The only thing we enjoyed was the kayaking and paddleboarding that was included. If there arent any other beach options, id go again. Otherwise, id avoid it.

What a Dump - The Island was a mess and poorly maintained. Garbage piled. Shade Sails were all missing or damaged. Lounges were in terrible shape and very very uncomfortable.... Lunch was not worth the trip. Worst was the staff, They did not seem to care that we were there. Bartenders were very unfriendly. Found a group of the staff in the back bar gambling amongst themselves.

Very Dissapointing - Honestly, for the price, it was very disappointing. Everyone was super nice but the Island leaves a lot to be desired. All the equipment is very old and in need of replacement. The food was ok nothing to write home about. The drinks were expensive and mediocre. The whole Island needs a major renovation or a major price decrease. I believe $35 would be a more appropriate fee for what is offered. My recommendation, don't go you will be very disappointed and will regret spending hard-earned money on this. Go do something else.

Next time I will spend the day on the ship instead. - The property and its furnishings are very run down. Many chairs are broken and uncomfortable. The ferry ride is not an easy on/off. The bathrooms were clean and the lunch was tasty. Some staff were nice and others were rude.

No way a relaxing day. - The island needed a refresh. It was very rundown. The toilets did not have water to flush. Shade structures were missing roof covering. The walkways were crumbling. Lounge chairs were rusted and just old. The Bahamian lunch was tasty. Getting off the island was a challenge as they prioritized cruise ship tours and we booked our own tour through Viator. Since we did not find the island relaxing we tried to leave early but stood waiting for a seat on a boat for two hours. Would not book again through Viator.
