Die ganze Anlage ist ein ganz besonderer Ort zum Erholen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

9.0

Wir hatten ein sehr schönes Baumhaus für 2 Personen und konnten vom Bett aus auf den Indischen Ozean schauen. Die Angebotenen Ausflüge vom Hotel waren alle sehr schön und sehr gut Organisiert. Das Personal besteht nur aus Einheimischen die alle sehr freundlich und sehr nett sind.

Da die Insel in einem Marinepark liegt fallen pro Tag Eintrittsgelder an, auf die wir vorher nicht aufmerksam gemacht wurden.
