A beautiful space and very spacious

The staff seems very confused, you have to ask for everything before they give you, no toothbrush or toothpaste we were told to go buy them, they were not flexible with late checkout as they asked us to pay extra 50 usd just to wait at the pool side meanwhile there was no reception or waiting area, The chef come to your room to make breakfast every morning, on our first morning she came in around 10:30am after calling severally. Lastly the road to the resort is not smooth at all

Bad water, electric, Wlan ... supply.

Breakfast was ok. But we had to remember staff, that breakfast is included.

A lot of technical problems: - no cold water. Always water ca. 40 degrees on both conection ( warm amd cold) - one day no water at night until next noon. - another day no air conditioning. - one day no WLAN. - another day no water at all. There were technical dificulties on every day of our stay there. We had the feeling the crew there were blackmailing us, to get some financial support. Just one exeption: garden is properly done. The housemaid ( Betty) is doing well. But she can't do it all alone. Because the technical crew ( electrician/plumber) is not skilled and also not trustworthy.

This "absolute paradise" offers a flawless stay with beautiful villas and fantastic staff

10.0

I loved everything about this place. The villas are beautiful, with ample space to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The pool is fantastic, as are the staff who go out of their way to make your stay perfect! Bed was comfortable, upstairs lounge was great to enjoy the cool evening breeze. Super quiet and absolute paradise. Easy to get to and from with a Boda or TukTuk. Particularly loved having breakfast cooked for us each morning at the villa and housekeeping was impeccable.

Nothing - it was all perfect! We were so happy here. The weather could have been better but the villa offered us the perfect shelter.
