From the moment you step off the boat onto the jetty and greeted by the staff with a rum punch and a warm welcome you know you don't want to leave. 2 weeks is not enough time in this paradise, The Island is small and you can walk round in half a day. All 5 beaches are small and have lovely white soft sand. The sea is so clear you just want to dive in and swim.
This island is somewhere you go to relax and to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. There aren't and disco's or large loud bars just the piece and quiet of sea and the fresh sea air. The local wild life is amazing no dangerous creatures. There are a few lizards and loads of wild birds including some humming birds.
If you do go to this paradise go to Doc's gallery and see his art work. We had to buy the dolphins picture it was so realistic.
The island is not too far away from where they filmed pirates of the Caribbean and one of the boats anchored around Union island was used in the filming.
They do a few trips, these are worth going on.
You can also get married here, with the great views and the atmosphere it's well worth the money.
Some days there are local entertainers or beach BBQ's
Good Points
All the staff will go out of there way to help and the rooms are stocked with a generous fridge. The food is excellent. We didn't spend too much. The local tipples are great as well. The rooms are nice (see bad points as well). If you like to do little on a holiday it's great for you. There are very few mosquitoes.
Bad Points The rooms are all good but could do with better air conditioning or windows that enclose the room so the air con works better. The journey to the island is long from Britain but well worth it. If you like to do lots on a holiday this isn't for you.
