REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
Our guests love the authentic island experience at The Lighthouse Retreat:

"Raneem's place was as stunning in real life as the pictures. The staff was very friendly and provided helpful local tips. As noted in the description the location is at the highest point on the island which means you have to walk up a bit of a hill and stairs to reach the airbnb. Thankfully the staff came to greet us at the wharf and carried our bags up to our spot. The added elevation also helped keep the rooms a bit a cooler at night. Definitely recommend staying here as well as the snorkeling tour with Elvis and the Island Ron Don!" Nick, Canada

We felt very comfortable at the place. The food was great and we were warmly looked after at all times. Although no yoga classes were offered at the moment, you could still borrow a mat and get started. The complex was very well maintained and invited you to cozy hours. Definitely recommend.
