Very relaxing place
10.004-06.05.2026 I got this place recommended by a fellow traveler, and I absolutely loved it! The location is incredibly relaxing and authentic, offering a truly special experience. The huts are simple, but the beds are very comfortable. Both breakfasts and dinners were excellent. The crew was fantastic—special thanks to Wil, Marcel, and Judy for taking care of me like I was part of their family. I also want to give a big shoutout to the boat crew: Norman, Dodoy, and Arah. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable getaway!
Guest review
10.0Paradise island !
Guest review
5.0The accommodation is on the beach, the beach is pretty nice and it is possible to snorkel at a ship wreck with a lot a different fish from the beach.
− The hotel cancelled our booked transportation to the island the evening before our arrival and we had to go by tuk tuk and a small fisherman's boat instead. The accommodation was expensive for what you get. The food is boring. Many dogs are running around. Cats were sleeping in our house in the morning. The sheets in our house were old and there were holes in the mosquito nets. The personnel of the accommodation sang karaoke in hours daily. The island is not the paradise it possible was before, the hotels have expanded to much. I recommend you to stay at another accommodation on the island or only visit Darocotan Island as a day visitor.
Rustic,no-grills hotel on a beautiful tropical island.
8.0The hotel is very rustic and basic,but you are not visiting this place for the hotel.It’s the dreamy beach that it rests against that’s the star attraction.The hotel food is fresh and exceptionally tasty.
− The beach huts that you stay in are basic shacks and situated next to a noisy bar where loud music and karaoke plays until 10pm.The private boat trip excursions are also massively overpriced.

7.0Vue magnifique, lits confortables, emplacement privilégié
− Ménage non fait à notre arrivée, chasse d'eau disfonctionnelle, pas de pommeau de douche, service au restaurant long alors qu'on était seule, fermeture du restaurant à 21h, commande du petit déjeuner à 8h, à 8h30 nous dit qu'il n'y a plus de pain, servi ensuite à 8h45 et nous devions partir à 9h. Les petits déjeuners étaient compris avec la chambre, finalement nous les avons payé en plus, le matin réveil très tôt par des personnes qui chantaient et parlaient forts.
