10/10 Excellent
"I loved Little Paradise Island, but it’s definitely not for everyone. A shade above camping, but with more amenities and a solid roof over your head. The perfect getaway to unplug and reset from the world, if even for a short time and if you enjoy being out on the water then you can’t ask for more. Plenty of hiking trails nearby to enjoy and entertainment options if you’re willing to travel. I loved my stay and can’t wait to come back."
