Entweder in 4 Minuten mit dem Scooter oder in 20 Minuten zu Fuß. Rudy und seine Frau sind exzellente Gastgeber und können sehr gute Tips für die Insel geben. Unser Aufenthalt war trotz 2 Tagen Regen wunderschönen. Versucht einen der Bungalows mit Meerblick in der ersten Reihe zu bekommen. Der Blick ist klasse. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly, privately own resort with ATM, good ship and Petrol few min walk away.

The grounds and folks that ran the place were nice. Beds and accommodations were not high end, but pleasant and acceptable. I’d stay there again. ##### Orrsrus Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Irf Oct 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Rudy and Kanoi are wonderful hosts.

Amazing experience in an amazing location! Great Value. Had the privilege of enjoying our morning coffee while watching whales play and breach just a short distance from the beach. Rooms are always spotless. Same as the property. Rudi and Kanoi are always helpful and friendly. Very close to a new grocery/gas station and walking distance to Muri. I am a happy return customer, and would recommend anyone visiting the Island to stay at Tropical Sands. ##### Murray Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Stacey, Vancouver, BC Oct 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort For us, great location, bicycles were available for free and we took advantage to go exploring!!! Coffee down the block was great for breakfast and the gas station nearby had great selection for cooking at the room. Bacon, eggs, salad and chicken to name a few things. Bus stops right there so that is perfect as well. ##### Stacey Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018
