We have an onsite manager and taxi driver available. Taxi service is available to and from the airport at a cost payable directly to the driver. Additional journeys and tours also bookable in advance on onsite. All rooms ensuite, upstairs balconies and downstairs patios and beautiful gardens. BBQ available under the Mango tree or under the Bantaba if you prefer the shaded areas of the garden. Mains water. Gas and electricity known as NAWEC, all included. No extra costs after booking, subject to any damages occurred and honesty maintained. Its a beautiful setting, actually....... it's pure bliss....beach towels provided, alongside bath towels, hand towels. Hair dryers, iron and ironing board.
