Excellent service and location- staff amazing - great food. On the beach so easy to walk and exercise. Great access to activities- Chole island, scuba, and lagoon. We were in a tent and it was awesome. Excellent value and Mr Dixon was a great scuba instructor.

"Molto bello, rilassante. Consigliato"

9.0

Struttura con bella posizione. Semplice come descritta, ma molto rilassante. Perfetta per chi vuole fare diving

unica pecca, non colpa della struttura, la tassa molto elevata che viene richiesta dal parco

The hotel is clean and as pictured. The first dinner was very good, but the second was unfortunately cold when it arrived. Breakfast is good, but unfortunately always the same. The staff is friendly as long as you use their additional services.

The scuba diving in the bay was nothing special, rather disappointing. Outside the bay, it was okay. The internet never worked during the five days I was there; they always made the excuse that they had a problem with the internet across the entire island (I think it was more likely the router), because ironically, the internet worked on mobile phones and in other restaurants. The trips they offer are generally 15-20% more expensive than those offered within a 2-5 minute walk.

Stayed a single night at one of the property's tents. We found fleas which almost ruined our trip.

Il posto è bellissimo e il cibo è buono, per qualsiasi problema sig.Simon cercava di risolverlo se anche non dipende a da loro

Aspettavo una visibilità maggiore per snorkeling e immersione, naturalmente la struttura non c'entra e attenzione alle punture dii sun fly sulla spiaggia e le meduse quando si nuotano con lo squalo balena . Raccomando la muta
