10/10 Exceptional

Impossibile trovare un difetto!! Location mozzafiato, Sunset beach Villa top, bagno meraviglioso, ristorante curato, pulitissimo buffet sempre in ordine e cucina ottima, tra le migliori trovate in villaggi! Personale sempre sorridente e gentile dal primo all’ultimo, non menziono nessuno per non dimenticare qualcuno!! Ottima organizzazione con idrovolanti e collegamenti con aeroporto, zero stress!! Consiglio di controllare minuziosamente le maschere del diving prima di prenderle in dotazione, ma nulla che ci abbia rovinato una delle nostre vacanze migliori! Non si sbaglia se si sceglie questa struttura per rilassarsi e fare pace con il mondo!

Hôtel sur une île privée, très bon accueil, services au top. Nourriture variée et de qualité. Cependant options de restauration en extra très chères tout comme les boissons. Villa pilotis au top, chambre confortable. Globalement un bon séjour, juste dommage qu'au départ l'hydravion fut en retard. On a donc attendu pour rien dans le hall de l'accueil au lieu de profiter du lieu. Un déjeuner pour patienter aurait été un geste commercial appréciable.
