“This "absolute paradise" offers a flawless stay with beautiful villas and fantastic staff”
I loved everything about this place. The villas are beautiful, with ample space to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The pool is fantastic, as are the staff who go out of their way to make your stay perfect! Bed was comfortable, upstairs lounge was great to enjoy the cool evening breeze. Super quiet and absolute paradise. Easy to get to and from with a Boda or TukTuk. Particularly loved having breakfast cooked for us each morning at the villa and housekeeping was impeccable.

“Horrible”
After second nights we started to get MANY bites on the body. It ended up being crazy amount of BEDBUGS. We had like 50 bites in our body which literally ruined our holidays. When we contacted the owners we received NO ANSWERS. With the current staff they agreed to change our room but it was the same situation. When we try to recontact again, they CANCELED our BOOKING on Booking so that we could not leave a REVIEW. Be advised with who your dealing with.

“Value for money. Profit who was cooking our breakfast was very helpful.”
Very spacious and clean. Value for money. Lots of private areas to sit around. AC was good and the hot water. Only down side was we had to go one a dusty gravel road (10minute walk ) to reach the property. You always need a tuk tuk for this. Profit who was looking after our flat and cooking our breakfast was very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay, tha staff was very kind, welcoming and friendly. Everything was clean and tidy and the pool was great. There was no problem with checking-in early as we had to arrive sooner than planned because of bad weather. Breakfast prepared fresh at the time of your request were a nice touch. As our plane was leaving mid afternoon the staff was kind enough to let as stay at the area, even after the check in, until we had to leave for the plane. 5/5 would recommend.

The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable. You can ask the staff to prepare dinner for you in your own accommodation, which is amazing after a long day out.
