"My girlfriend was having a family reunion and they rented multiple Villas. Mimi, Abby and Pao and all the staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly. They helped them with the island tour as well. We had transportation needs to and from and they helped to coordinate it all. The Villas were stunning and Janet and her family were all so impressed. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation or getaway. Thank you! 🙏 "
