Awesome spot, very quiet part of the island. Great snorkelling just outside the doorstep. Plenty of turtles swimming by. Great complimentary equipment to use.

Would definitely stay here again. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The Villa was beautiful and spacious and we used the kayaks, SUP boards and bicycles a few times. The Villa had everything we needed and a lot more. Full kitchen and the private pool was perfect! Didn’t want to leave!!

Amazing beach villas

Amazing villas with private pools. Comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful with arranging tours and being flexible about checkin and prepping for the trip.

A few ups and downs

We arrived and upon checking in we were told that our booking had been cancelled by the hotel by mistake even though I had been emailing them in the lead up to our arrival. To their credit they were able to check us in for our 4 days however this meant moving into 3 different rooms during the 4 days which wasn’t feet convenient for us but at least we had somewhere to stay. Steph was really apologetic and tried to do her best to compensate us and we were actually able to see the different types of rooms they had but it wasn’t an ideal situation. The rooms were really spacious, clean and had great amenities and were in a really good location. Only downside of the second villa we were in is that it’s totally open and some people walking along the beach would come right up to the villa and be looking in while we were inside

Relaxing stay at sea change

Had a lovely stay at sea change villas. They were very accommodating on our final day when they could not provide a late check-out. The villa itself was very comfortable and well equipped, and the facilities available made the stay very relaxing and easy.
Cat, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Having your own private pool was wonderful in the 30 degree plus temperatures. Other than the roosters, this is a very quiet and peaceful location with good beach access. Please note, however, that if you are staying in the Lagoon View Executive Villas that claim "you can enjoy watching the breaking of the waves on the reef from the front deck" that actually due to palm trees the view is VERY limited. The basement game room was also very musty, probably due to the significant amount of rain they had before we arrived. We also killed 6 cockroaches during our stay so make sure you are okay with that too. Some advertisements for this place also indicated free wifi - this isn't true and you will need to pay for it. We would still recommend this resort as compared to many others found on the island.
