    Amazing, peaceful resort with wonderful, friendly staff and excellent facilities. The family bungalow was perfect, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Really hope we will return one day!! Thanks Monika and the team 😊❤️

    The resort is stunning and the actual location of the accommodation is beautiful on a very quiet beach. It was situated further away from any towns than we had anticipated so it's tricky to get out and about without needing to book a Tuk Tuk. ...

    A very welcoming reception by the hosts after a rather long trip (26 h). The staff, from the extremely kind Tila and Santa to the waiters and kitchen personnel, gave a golden feel to our stay. WIFI was good, food was very good, especially the tuna...
