I really loved being able to explore every inch of this island by foot, experiencing true island life firsthand. There were plenty of peaceful spots along its beautiful beach for relaxing, and its pool was only steps from all the restaurants and bars. Additionally, there was even a fitness center where I enjoyed going for a quick jog before breakfast!
