"Excellent"

8.0

I liked pretty much everything. The accomodations are simple and well-integrated into nature, there is so much to see in the water and on the island that you are going in your room only for a shower and sleeping

Maybe the breakfast/dinner buffet was a little overpriced but we are not big eaters, for sure for other families the price was right

Snorklingen er fantastisk. Hajer, rokker, havskildpadder og fantastisk mange fisk.

Der er utroligt mange fugle på øen og der er fuglelort overalt

The rooms has all the essential features.

There are too many bird poos on the foot path and stairs to our room. The smell was in the room all night. Would be nice to have it cleaned.
