Fodor's Review:

Nestled between sea grape and casuarina pines on a sparkling sweep of palapa-dotted sand are 11 bungalow-style rooms, some air-conditioned, others swept by crosswinds through louvers. Walls duplicate the soft colors of a Caribbean dawn; floors and furnishings are immaculate. In true Caribbean getaway tradition, TV is banished to the main cottage (where Wi-Fi is available). You'll likely become fast friends with effervescent owner, Gladys Howard, whose down-home welcome belies her upscale meals served with fine wines (not to mention heaping helpings of bon mots and bonhomie). Gladys trained with Julia Child, James Beard, and Jacques Pepin, as well as at the legendary Cordon Bleu in Paris, and still supervises everything with an eagle eye, while finding time to host weekly champagne parties on the verandah of her adjacent home and play dominoes after dinner. Somehow Gladys always wins, slamming tiles down with classic Caribbean vigor. Weekly stays (preferred) represent huge savings, especially the dive packages. The large repeat clientele attests that everything from the billeting to the bill of fare lives up to the billing. Pros: fabulous food; fantastic beach; dynamic dive program; fun-loving staff and owner. Cons: everyone respects honeymooners' privacy; but this isn't a resort for antisocial types; tasteful rooms are fairly spare.
