Beautiful location, quiet sea and abundance of fish. Warm water great for snorkeling and very relaxing overall. The villas could benefit from better maintenance (from burned out bulbs, rotting deck to chairs falling apart) and a little better equipped kitchen. Insufficient pots, bowls, utensils etc made it a challenge to prepare meals. Due to remote location going out to restaurants wasn't practical. Could use more than 1 kayak between 4 villas, and more towels. The most disturbing, however, was the incredible mess surrounding the owner's house (photo included) and sewage pipe leaking from every joint a smelly stuff into the water right where we snorkelled. All these problems could be remedied with a little effort from a charming owner. Once these little things are taken care of, it would be the idyllic vacation everyone dreams of.
Awesome accommodation in a wonderful setting. Make sure you bring supplies for your stay as it's isolated on a reef. The BBQ Was great for cooking and the villas have a selection of kayak, SUP, snorkel etc. We had 3 nights here which was PERFECT! It's a real retreat from the busy touristy main town. Highly recommended!
This might not be the place for everybody, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The villa is on stilts out in the water. It's located at the edge of a beautiful, shallow reef. You can sit on the edge of the deck and watch fish, or step off and snorkel or swim with them. They also had kayaks and stand-up paddle boards for us to use. Located on the west side of the island, the water gets quite calm (can be choppy if the wind is up though), so any water activity is quite relaxing. We brought enough food that we didn't have to leave the villa at all while we were there. They provide dishes, utensils, pots, and pans, so you can cook just about anything you bring. The location is a little remote, so the only way to access it is via boat. Even though we didn't take advantage of it, the hosts provide a trip into the city each day and try to organize a good time for you to go. We couldn't tear ourselves away from the beautiful, tranquil environment, and just stayed and relaxed for the 4 days we were there. The appliances are limited to a fridge and gas stove (no microwave), so plan accordingly.
I really enjoyed this place and the location is quite remote and you have to be self-sufficient because getting back and forth to the main island Town is not only complicated but can be expensive after hours. The owners are super nice but some people might have an issue with the twin two-year-olds that's sometimes cry. Available kayak and paddle boats are wonderful addition to the water sports the weather in that area can be quite all over the place but when the water is still it's gorgeous.
