Their sticky toffee pudding is to die for!

To be honest, we haven't been there recently but it was nice the last time we went and it is within walking distance of the apartment - you could walk up the beach if you were going for lunch.

Caters to tourists and locals so you'll find just about everything but the prices are not like "home"!
They also have an onsite deli and snackette.
Eco-friendly so single-use plastic carrier bags are discouraged - we've provided shopping bags for your convenience. (they're in the wardrobe).

The only surviving , still-intact and still working windmill in the country. Very interesting history/story and a little cafe on site. Depending on the time of the year, you may also get to see it actually in action. Lovely scenic drive to get there as well.

Go underwater without getting wet! So many fish! Maybe some turtles too.
We're told that the corals look better at night but not many fish around...

This is one of the few places on the island where you can get a feel of what the island was like before development.
It's a nice walk in nature - not too strenuous and, if you're lucky, you'll see some monkeys too.

For garden lovers this is a unique experience as the garden has been created in the bowl of a huge collapsed cave. The owner has classical music playing softly in the background throughout the garden, which gives it an "other-worldly" feeling. At the end of your tour you are invited to sit and chat with the owner (and other guests) and enjoy refreshments - at an extra cost of course but well worth it - it felt 'special'.
