Hix is always a tranquil place to stay. As the property ages, they need to keep up with repairs in the rooms. In Rodonda 2, where I stayed, there were issues with screws coming out of the walls that held doors closed, and none of the knives in the cooking utensils were very usable - they should put higher quality cooking utensils in the rooms. Overall, this place is quiet, serene, and the service is top quality. But little things, like putting hand soap in the bathrooms and cleaning the rooms each day would elevate it back up to the lux stay it used to feel like.

This was an amazing experience. An open suite on an open area. I loved seeing the horses and sharing nature with them. I also love that the hosts/staff/management will keep in touch with you as you’ll probably be too busy enjoying the island life to keep in touch with them. They keep you updated, ask if you need anything, and are great with accommodations. 10/10 stay, will be staying here again when I come back!

If you're looking for a relaxing quiet kind of off the grid stay this is for you. We stayed in polaris 4. Beautiful view of the night sky. Used a golf cart to drive from the ferry to the island house and around the island. Borrowed the beach chairs and cooler that they offer which was very convenient. Great time!

The architecture of the property is stunning. Although knowing we are in the Caribbean mosquitos and lizards, and even spiders I could handle, they provide a mosquito net over bed. However when going to sleep we noticed a giant beetle inside our net. I was not a fan and had to book something else. This was not mentioned and I was offered no refund to my stay.

The property was comfortable enough but is showing signs of age. Front desk and yoga were great! We are last minute travelers and that may be the cause we felt less value for this property.

We hated this property so much we checked out after one night. We had bugs everywhere and the room was very hot. I've stayed in other eco friendly properties before but this one was way too "economy" for the price. Had to sleep in mosquito nets, they provided only small fans for each side of the bed. The garage type of door was dangerous to operate and if we closed it entirely to keep bugs away, it was too hot. Just not the right property. The area was extremely remote and was difficult to find our actual room. Do not check in off hours because you will likely get lost. The two towns on the island were very run down and service at the restaurants was extremely slow. Will not return.

Hix Island is a magical place! Architecture is very successfully stitched with nature. If you want an off grid experience with convenience, this is the place! Every building is unique and fun to stay but I highly recommend Solaris 2 or Solaris 4. It has an ocean view and the balcony has an open roof so you can lay down and watch the stars at night. The room has two large openings to provide natural cross ventilation, it’s breezy at all times. There’s also a small pool at the property which is a bless, it has a gorgeous view. The hotel provides a full fridge with everything you need to make breakfast such as fresh bread, butter, milk, coffee, fruits, eggs. I highly recommend yoga with Maureen-it’s a life changing experience. She’ll tell you all about yoga and take you to a spiritual journey. This is my second time at Hix Island and I highly recommend staying there!

My husband and I stayed for four nights in May during our honeymoon. We loved it! We loved the open air concept and overall stayed pretty cool with the provided fans. We didn't really use the mosquito net over the bed, as the breeze kept them away on all but one night. I do think that staying on a higher level floor probably helps with the increased breeze and decreased insects. The staff brought us new eggs, juice, and bread all but one of the days. The pool was very nice, and although it did have some leaves in it from all the beautiful trees that surround the property, it didn't bother us at all. We'd definitely stay again!

Bugs everywhere
The architecture and location are beautiful and we were pleasantly surprised to get a free room upgrade upon arrival. But the open air concept means you’re basically camping/glamping so for the price it’s not worth it. No AC. There are bugs everywhere all the time—in the pool, in the rooms, in your bed. The net around your bed isn’t just for romance. Housecleaners didn’t provide soap in the bathroom. I’m 80% sure I got bit by bedbugs. Service is overall friendly and responsive but unless you find sleeping outside comfortable, I recommend elsewhere.

Loved it.
Absolutely gorgeous place, loved the architecture. Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, booking a taxi for our arrival and then updating it and setting up an easy after hours checkin when we missed our original ferry. It’s open air - which we loved - constant breezes, gorgeous views!!( but it may not be for everyone since there is no a/c or conditioned spaces, you can hear your neighbors, and lizards and birds and mosquitos do come in). We were able to disconnect, listen the birds and famous croquis and hope to return soon for longer.
