The hotel is in a perfect enclave of a cove surrounded by mountains and jungle, with beautiful flowers and even some monkeys on the trees. The reef by the hotel is rich in life and just a swim away. The hotel is conveniently located close to the big laggon and small lagoon, which are breathtaking landscapes. The staff is amazing, all very friendly and ready to help. The rooms are somewhat small but in such a beautiful setting that it feels great. Meals and tours to the lagoons are included which justifies the price.

ロケーションは最高でした のんびりとアイランドリゾートを楽しめます バスタオルの替えも何度もくれますし、ゲストが快適に過ごせるように配慮されてます。 ただ、アラカルトメニューやドリンクが高いです サービスは丁寧ですが、ルームキーのエラーの修理をお願いしたのに直されてなくて、もう一度頼みに行きました アメニティは環境に配慮してるのはわかりますが、再利用できる室内履きのサンダル等を用意した方が良いと思います。 全体としてはやや割高
