The accommodation was beautiful and well-maintained, with lots of lovely touches. What’s more, the staff always went out of their way to fulfil all our requests, and both breakfast and dinner were absolute highlights, with delicious Western and local dishes. The fact that there are wind turbines nearby did not bother us at all. It’s the perfect place to relax – we absolutely recommend it!

Nothing - everything was perfectly fine.

町までのアクセスは不便です(でもそこが良い所なのかも知れない) 風が強い日は風力発電の風切り音が気になるかも

Great design of the accommodation tents. Big swimming pool. On the beach. Good food and service. Dolphin boat trip and turtles hatching on the beach, wonderful!

Not a complaint because the food was good but there were no restaurants nearby.
