8.4/10 Very Good! (771 reviews)
No A/C but you can open screened in windows and that worked fine; no locks between adjoining rooms, which wasn’t exciting (they put a chair in front to barricade), and the restaurant was fine.

The only regret we have about Woodpecker Bay Bach is that we didnt have long enough time to stay! We will be back for a longer break soon to soak up that serenity. Thank you to Daniel who made the short stay an incredibly easy experience.
