“nice place for a few days of diving”
directly at the beach and very convenient if you dive with the allocated dive center as it takes you less than a minute from your room to the dive boat.

“Perfect beach vacation”
Superb location and very helpful and cheerful staff made this an excellent 4 dat break away from the city. Such a relaxing time it's easy to get lost in the surroundings.

Staff were helpful. Returned lost items (that could easily have been stolen without our knowledge). Our driver (Loloy) was safe, efficient and helpful. Room was quiet.
