"Just so beautiful here....and I love that you can just walk outside and snorkel with tropical fish. Rick is just awesome! We forgot some stuff at the villa and I couldn't believe that he drove all the way to the airport to give it to us! That is the kind of person he is, just the best. He is also a super interesting person 😂. We even received bananas and ate guava from his garden. Awesome, relaxing place....and it has wifi. "

"What a stay at Lyas Bungalow 2! Tucked away on a private section, surrounded by foliage and the odd chicken or two. Walking distance to Little Polynesian restaurant and some very nice cafe's. Bed was very comfy and although we didn't utilize the kitchen area it was fully stocked with everything you could need. The laundry was super handy after using the mud buggys! We have nothing negative to say, would definitely use Lyas again if we come back. 10/10"

Felt the room was too small for 4 people but we managed. The staff was really good and helpful so didn't even want to complain. The staff made it a very pleasant holiday for us. "

5/5 Excellent
"It’s a great hotel, it is on the opposite part of the island to the main town so it is generally quieter. It is quite a small hotel, but very nice. It also has its own beach/lagoon area for swimming etc "
