Leisure Isle is a chic cosy experience, the view of the lagoon from the breakfast deck was a great start to the day. The staff were very pleasant and attentive to all our needs. A great get away from the bustle of main tourist area’s.

“A perfect, quiet place to recharge and relax in stunning surroundings.”
Location on a beautiful, quiet island. The property provided everything we needed - the rooms were decorated beautifully and super clean. Such a lovely warm welcome from Chris. Cher so friendly and helpful with any suggestions of activities and quick to answer any questions we had. And Audrey who was so attentive in the restaurant. The food was sublime - fabulous choice and expertly cooked. Fantastic flavours - I did ask if I could take chef home with me. The cooler weather meant we couldn’t take full advantage of the pool during our stay but we would definitely return here if we had the chance.
