The hotel was great! it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The hotel is run by a father-son duo who take care of all your needs be it with places to visit, arranging transport or keeping your food ready at the in house restaurant if your arriving late or from a long day of being out and about. The staff is equally helpful and will cater to all your needs. The rooms were big & clean. The swimming pool & the garden is great to just hang out in. The quality & taste of breakfast, lunch and dinner were very impressive. The walk from the hotel to the beach is just around 5 minutes. Kudos to the team at Ocean Breeze Boutique Hotel. 10/10. Will definitely recommend to people who are visiting the island and need a place to stay a little away from the beach and crowds.

Friendly, helpful staff. The owners went out of their way to help with everything. The owner is not called Crazy Man for nothing, he is a full-of-energy crazy, loveable soul for whom everything is hakuna matata. We enjoyed our stay. If you want 5*, or if you want to be right on the beach, this is not for you.. It is however a perfect way to enjoy the vibrant village life. The breakfast was huge and tasty.
