Reviews
❝Absolutely gorgeous place with beaches at every turn. Such friendly and kind staff and lovely people staying there to chat with. The food was delicious and each night a different experience. When the weather is good they serve dinner on a point right by the water, which is stunning. It was the end of the Mantaray season when I was there, but still saw one!❞
❝Incredible house reef and seeing Manta Rays was absolutely amazing. The dive centre is very good and also gave the chance to dive with bull sharks on a day trip to the sister resort on Kuata Island - highly recommended! The whole place has a much more natural 'desert island' feel rather than being a built up resort.❞
