The hotel is in a perfect enclave of a cove surrounded by mountains and jungle, with beautiful flowers and even some monkeys on the trees. The reef by the hotel is rich in life and just a swim away. The hotel is conveniently located close to the big laggon and small lagoon, which are breathtaking landscapes. The staff is amazing, all very friendly and ready to help. The rooms are somewhat small but in such a beautiful setting that it feels great. Meals and tours to the lagoons are included which justifies the price.

Localización maravillosa

Todo perfecto. Lo mejor la localización en una isla cerca de big lagoon y small lagoon. El hotel organiza las actividades de tal manera que estamos solos, sin gente, en lugares con paisajes. espectaculares. Ademas el snornel en la playa del hotel es increíble. También puedes coger un kayak para ir a preciosas playas, cuando ya se han ido los tours y estar solo. Una maravilla
