Loved staying here! Everyone was so friendly and it was a little slice of paradise. The beach was pristine and loved staying in the traditional fale. Food with the family each day was big portions and fresh and different each day. Would recommend to anyone wanting a down to earth, quiet and beautiful spot.

They have very comfortable new mattresses in the traditional fales- no holes in mosquito nets and bathrooms well maintained and clean. The breakfast was great and the dinners well worth the the small additional charhw

We loved our fale with traditional collapsible panels rather than ugly tarp. The fale was right on the beach, simply stunning! Our host was lovely and helpful. A great place to stay with awesome snorkeling.
