Access by boat only. Park the sailboat on the other side of the island and walk over the hill and down to the bay.
Extra information
Respect the hotel people, they don't own the beach but run the property there. Best is to just go to another launch spot in one the small beaches along the lagoon.
Nightlife
Local bars for a rum or the hotel bars (expensive). Best to have a good rum cocktail on the sailboat afterwards.
