Every bungalow has a solar hot water heater and the hotel makes an effort to keep the coral reef clean. But the hotel has yet to figure out a way to compost their organic material or recycle the plastic water bottles they provide in rooms daily.
Our bed was soft by our standards, but our main disappointment was that the sliding glass doors that look out over the Pantone-blue lagoon lacked screens. This forced us to rely on air conditioning more than we would have liked, despite a constant South Pacific breeze outside.
Then there's the issue of orientation. The first morning, we took to the lagoon to snorkel off our private swimming platform. The water was vast and luxurious and we lost our way back.
As the bungalows are all unmarked, we climbed up several wrong ladders before a fortuitous outrigger canoe on its way to deliver breakfast to a room pointed us in the right direction. The number on each bungalow could be posted, although signage would need to be discreet to conform to architecture so natural.
