"Wonderful, calm location with amazing sea views. Nice pool too. Ali was an exceptional host with nothing too much trouble! I loved our stay here, we used it as a base to do the whale shark snorkelling and also a day visit to the Marine N.P. visiting Chole Island. We also walked along the beach from the property to Kilendoni town and got a tuk tuk back. There are 3 villas on site and they are wonderfully authentic. "
