Garden villa, breakfast included, complimentary bottled water, small swimming pool, spa, DVDs, library, beach loungers.
A grown-up resort. Quiet. Our bungalow was a lovely large room (but no mosquito nets - we had to rig up our own) and a proper bathroom, with a flush toilet, and a separete area for the shower. Our porch looked through two other villas to the sea. 
It was at the end of a quiet beach at the south end of the island, with three other resorts (more "rustic" than ours) with their own restauranta and bars, as well as another bar at the far end. We ate in all over the course of our 4 nights there, watching the sunset from a slightly different angle due to each location on the beach. Soft, beige sand full of tiny, translucent crabs that scittered into their holes as our feet fell. A few rocks at low tide. Warm, clear water. Tiny fish that swarmed our ankles and arms as we waded and swam.

We spent 2 full days lounging on the beach, reading, swimming and having massages in an open hut before dinner. 
The 3rd full day we spent on our AGM. We normally do our annual planning meeting on January 1, but while on holiday it's more location- and attitude-sensitive than date-sensitive and this was the right place to sit down and plot the year ahead. We knew this year would entail some changes in our work focus, and we are quite excited about some of the ideas we have.
At the drop-out hippy bar we shared a bucket of blue cocktail, 
and at our upscale place we had 
langoustine thermadore. Our favourite place was the one next door, where we sat at tables on the sand lit with candles in old plastic water bottles and ate tom yam soup and pad thai and prawns the size of cats.
