    The house is really nice and beautifully decorated. Very safe and secure location, close to the coastal road. Mamjara is the best host ever!

    I had an amazing short stay for an appealing price! Wish I could have stayed longer to relax in this private area! The vibe is very calming with the mango trees and pretty tiling on the terrace floor. Also the painting on the bedroom wall adds...
