Spectacular stay-we didn’t leave the bungalow except for going out to eat. We just sat on the back balcony and stared at water, watched boats, planes, while reading and being present. Perfect stay for couples that like and love each other

We've never experienced a total relaxation immersion as the Black Pearl overwater bungalow. It is totally private and is heaven on earth. Going to sleep with a trade wind and lapping coral bay and waking to a rising sun and massaging trade wind is magic. We will definitely rebook.

Great stay! On the quiet part of the island (about a 15 minute drive from the main town area). Nice house with a working AC. Not really luxurious, but it is a great place to stay for a great price point. Highly recommend a car or scooter if you're staying here. Clean upon arrival and the check in process was simple. The hosts gave us a phone to use during our stay and they were quick to respond to all inquiries. The BBQ grill was fantastic. We used it a few times and cooked meals at home. The area immediately around the bungalow isn't all that great for snorkeling due to depth of water and a lot of boat traffic. It's quiet and a nice experience. Bring a Fire Stick for the TV if you want apps other than Netflix. WiFi was great. Bathroom was spacious and has great water pressure and hot water. No issues at all during our stay. Beautiful view from the back porch staring at the blue water in the distance.

Tiare met us at the dock when we arrived. We had arranged to rent a car from them for 9000fp/day. She showed us around the town a little bit to point out where to get groceries, where the bank was. Before handing over the keys to the car, we dropped her off at her home a short distance from town. Jackfruit were in season and she had some ripe ones on her property so she gave us one. She also provided a phone with a local number we could use to contact her or Nir if needed. The drive from the town to the property took about 20min. The place was amazing. It was rather windy most of the days but inside the room, you couldn't tell and road traffic was barely noticeable. Looking over the balcony, we could see numerous fish but the small shark we saw stopped my wife from going in the water. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were decent. The air conditioning worked great and the place was clean, welcoming and well laid out. The water pressure was strong and the hot water was hot. There was some snorkeling equipment available which was well used but functional. The toilet paper was even better than that providing in most places. There was a Nespresso coffee maker which my wife was grateful for. There was a small washing machine with a clothes line outside on the balcony. The only thing that would have been nice to have been provided were a few laundry pods.

We really enjoyed our stay at Black Pearl OWB. The location is great -- you can watch both sun rise and sunset! We took lots of nice pictures. And of ciyrse snorkeling, kayaking every day. I saw someone digging out a huge octopus right under the deck! Also a shark swam by one day.

Amazing stay

The bungalow was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. So very relaxing, we spent hours on the deck just watching the boats and fish go by. We snorkeled right off the dock. If you go off to the right when you are facing the ocean there are fish. The excursion boats were able to pick us up and drop us off at the dock. Tom was great and very helpful. Would stay here again.

Our time in paradise

Very nice overwater bungalow—one of the best we’ve stayed in. Very comfortable and lots of beautiful fish right below us, like having our own aquarium. Was a little noisy in the morning with both street and water traffic, but nothing we couldn’t live with. Lots of good restaurants nearby, and parrot fish is our new favorite fish. Nir was wonderful to work with. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Awesome over water bungalow!

The resorts we wanted were over $2000/night so we gladly discovered the Black Pearl. Zero complaints and we loved our 4 night stay and all the photos we took. We will definitely be back in the next 5 years. Nir and Tiare were excellent and the rental car was also the best price, automatic and with AC. Thank you!
