The hotel is quite picturesque, tucked away on a small island with stunning views, which makes it easy to appreciate the scenery. However, the accommodation leaves much to be desired, feeling rundown and lacking essential amenities. The dining experience can be quite slow with limited options available. Overall, it feels more like a ghost resort and not worth the high prices for what you receive.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms are very basic and in a poor state, with hard beds and barely running water. The cleanliness is questionable, and the jacuzzi was a disappointment with brown water. Given the price, the value for what you get is also not acceptable.
Service
5.0
The service was accommodating to some extent, but the staff seemed overwhelmed and unable to provide proper assistance when it came to safety or organizing activities.
Location
5.0
The location is beautiful, with picturesque views from the hotel, but being completely isolated makes it feel a bit like a prison, especially considering the severe lack of communication from the staff.
Dining

Dining was slow with a very limited menu; we waited a long time for breakfast, and many items were unavailable.
Facilities

The facilities were generally in poor condition, with a filthy pool and a dangerous docking area; there were no recreational options beyond what you could arrange with mainland vendors.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. While the location is stunning and the activities on offer like kayaking were fantastic, the accommodations leave something to be desired. The service was friendly and attentive, which made up for some of the shortcomings in the room. Overall, I appreciated the value for money, but be prepared for some rough edges.

My stay at Club Tara was truly memorable, with breathtaking views and a unique location accessible only by boat. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and I experienced their kindness firsthand. However, the shared bathroom situation was less than ideal, and some room amenities were lacking, which detracted from the overall experience. I'd still recommend spending some time here for the stunning surroundings and friendly service.

My stay at this resort was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, the setting is beautiful and the beach is lovely, but the rooms and service left a lot to be desired. We encountered serious issues with our accommodations, and although the staff were well-meaning, they seemed untrained. With some major renovations and better management, this place could be so much more than it currently is.

Rooms
5.0
When we first entered our room, it felt like we were stepping into a neglected space with missing parts of the roof. It was very basic, lacking what was promised in the advertising, and I would say it was better than a prison cell, but still far from satisfactory.
Service

The staff members were nice, but they lacked proper training, which made communication difficult. There were moments of confusion, especially when we had issues with our room.
Location

The resort is located on a small island that offers beautiful beach views, perfect for those who love privacy and nature. However, it's quite isolated which makes access to other places a bit challenging.
