The over the water rooms provide amazing views. There is no AC but the doors open the full length of wall to a patio and provide enough breeze along with a windows and a fan. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and would come back.

Wer hier Flitterwochen plant, sollte die eigenen Ansprüche überdenken. Es handelt sich hier, um eine Holzhütte auf dem Wasser...nicht mehr...nicht weniger. Es pfeift der Wind durch...es gibt Tiere wie Kakerlaken. Und ja hier treibt im Wasser hin und wieder Müll. Selbstreflexion ist ein guter Zeitpunkt. Der "gehört" doch mittlerweile in unsere Welt. Die Strände sind traumhaft...Old Banks, der Standort der Hütte, scheint nicht komplett vom Tourismus zu profitieren, so erhält man den Eindruck ins authentische "locallife" eintauchen zu dürfen. Allerdings auch mit allen Konsequenzen...Musik soweit das Gehör reicht...Baustellen...Hundegebell...Müllverbrennung (und leider gehört auch da viel Plastik zu)...die Menschen, sind alle sehr nett...sehr bemüht...und die Restaurants sind großartig. Westliche Konsumwerte sollten nicht als Maßstab mitgenommen werden...Bei tollem Wetter, gibt es wohl wenige Plätze, die das toppen können...

The view is amazing and the property has potential however there is trash everywhere and often floating in the water. We were disappointed that the hammock was ripped so we could not use it. We let them know but no effort was made. There were multiple water bugs! In the middle of the night I woke up to a water bug on me in the bed sleeping. The music from the town is pumping all night. We ended up paying to visit another beach during the day which was great but requires a water taxi and beach entrance fees. Not a place to get away to relax. The price is not worth it, the quality is about the same as a hostel.

The Sea Monkey is an experience you will never forget. The view is unbeatable and the rustic feel makes this overwater bungalow such a great experience. Lin let us check in super early, gave us a quick tour and was very helpful by WhatsApp. She helped set up a tour, and organized breakfast every morning right to our door. She also helped us reserve a tour at the coffee farm even though we were checking out. They are in the process of building more bungalows - we are excited to see these when they are done! One little thing to note for other tourists is that there is no AC, but there is a huge fan right above the bed and we found it warm but comfortable in the unit.

The pictures are misleading. The cabin itself is fine. However, the water is not that clear. Not even close. The area around it is filthy with trash so you don’t want to go in the water. This is a place for a backpacker looking for a deal. They could also use an extra fan. If you are there on the weekend the town is extremely loud. The staff was great but we would not go back due to the area.

Overwater Bungalow 2 was such an amazing place to stay!! The beds were comfortable and clean, the deck and hammock were so great to relax on, and Lin was an amazing host!! Would definitely recommend Sea Monkey to others.

Loved the open air room, mini refrigerator & complete over water views. Breakfast was great. Lynn and her sisters were great. Could use some basic items like glasses, and island food, drink, & activities suggestions/literature. Was great to have a water taxi pick you up at your own dock.
