"Heerlijk."

Dat je je er echt een verwende gast voelt. De rustige en niet toeristische locatie.

Alles was goed.

"Traumhafte Kulisse und sehr nettes Personal"

9.0

Das Camp ist schön. Die Häuschen liegen weit auseinander und haben eine Außendusche, wie auch eine Außenbadewanne. Das Bett war sehr bequem und die Matratze war neu. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Besonders ist, dass die Lodge von der Community betrieben wird.

Der Pool liegt relativ weit vom Hauptgebäude weg. Für meinen Geschmack hätten die Wege gerne befestigt sein dürfen. Der Sand war an der ein oder anderen Stelle störend und schwierig.
