The first decision

Choose the stretch of island

An island name is not a neighbourhood. Compare the precise hotel address with the beach, restaurants and outings that matter to you, then consider the transport needed between them.

Check the shoreline and access

A photograph captures one moment. Ask the property about the route to the beach and the conditions relevant to your stay; do not infer easy swimming or step-free access from an image.

Leave a flexible island day

Keep an alternative for weather changes and check excursion conditions with the operator. Include airport transfers and evening travel in the full accommodation comparison.
