The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Fresh Seafood

I had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant during my stay and the fresh seafood blew me away. The menu featured daily catches from local fishermen, and everything was delicious. The battered fish was particularly succulent and freshly cooked. Meals were served on time, and the portion sizes were generous. I couldn't get enough of the crayfish in white wine sauce! The atmosphere was relaxed and complemented by beautiful views from the restaurant.

Comfortable Overwater Bungalows

Staying in the overwater bungalow was an lovely experience. With direct access to the water just steps from my bed, I could snorkel and enjoy the vibrant coral and marine life at my leisure. The privacy was a bonus, and amenities like air conditioning and a bar fridge made my stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Refreshing Outdoor Showers

One of the highlights of my accommodation was the outdoor shower. It was such a good experience to wash off after a day of snorkeling under the sun. The hot water was consistent, and being in an open space surrounded by nature truly felt refreshing, adding to the overall relaxation of the stay.

Great Social Atmosphere

While at the resort, I absolutely enjoyed the communal atmosphere in the restaurant and bar area, which often felt like a cozy living room. I had many fun evenings playing pool with other guests and the friendly staff. It was nice to unwind, share stories, and enjoy some laughs together, making it a nice part of my visit.
