Perfect spot on the water
We just got back from a 10 day stay at this inn that was amazing. The beds were comfortable, the view was awesome and the inn keepers(Elia and Edgar) were great. They made our stay extremely enjoyable. The water taxis are available almost anytime of day right off the dock in front and all the other islands are within 2 to 10 minutes from the inn by water taxi. The only thing I can think that would make it better is to have a ladder on the dock to get in and out of the water but no complaints here.
