Our room upgrade was just amazing. Room nr 1 is facing the beach and is just superb. Very deluxe. And newly refurbished the location is fantastic on the beach and surrounded by mangrove forest. And a large variety of birds on the beach.

Everyone we interacted with at Basecamp was so friendly and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless-the hospitality here is top tier. Someone from the neighboring dive shop (Big Blu) is there each evening to schedule excursions which was convenient. The food was amazing and the rooms are beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff was amazing and we loved our room . The hotel is very well kept and beautifully maintained. We will miss the view, the warm sea, the great food and the amazing people. Snorkelling and lunch on a sand dune was the best. We will come again next year!

Base Camp is heaven on the beach. It is located within the Marine Conservation Park. One of its greatest assets is the eco-friendly water purifier that allowed me to refill my water bottle instead of continually buying plastic. The resort also purchases all local products and the table wear is made of recycled wine bottles (so very clever). After long afternoons at the beach and fishing, our rooms were a haven of comfort. The staff exudes the island vibe and was always ready to help in any way. As they say, "Come as a guest. Leave as family." Martha and her staff are now part of our extended family!

Beautiful place! Nice Staff! Friendly People! They offered snorkeling, wich was the most amazing experience in the bay Just outside the island, just 30 minutes boat ride. The area of the hotel is truly paradise. Will definitly come back if the opportunity presents itself!

The beds were very comfortable, and the pillows were perfect. The service was great, but the food could be better. The pool was okay but not very clean. With better food and cleanliness, it would be a great stay!…………………………… sante sana!!!!!!
