I had an incredible time at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, with the bungalow being spotless and the cleaning service being top-notch. The hotel facilities were fantastic, with a beautiful pool and a nice playgarden for children. The location was perfect, surrounded by stunning islands for snorkelling and peaceful mangroves. What I loved the most was that there were no beach boys bothering me and only a few local kids who were friendly and interested in interacting. The staff were amazing, always attentive to my needs and making sure I had a great stay.
Nothing, it is perfect.
We had a fantastic stay at this beach bungalow resort. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, with the rooms being spotless and well-maintained. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a clean pool and easy access to the beach. The location of the hotel was perfect, as it was far away from the crowded tourist hotspots but just a short distance from a bustling fish market. We enjoyed great snorkeling right by the sea, which was a major highlight. The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable.
All good.
