    Such a cozy tropical style house. We really enjoyed it and it was no problem that there was no AC. We went there by taxi and had no troubles finding it. The owners were so nice and helpful.

    Die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet, mit einem sehr schönen Badezimmer, einer grossen und modernen Küche, einer kleinen Terrasse und der Möglichkeit, auch Wäsche zu waschen. Der schönste Strand der Insel war ganz in der Nähe, ideal zum Schnorcheln....

    Super Aussicht auf Berge und etwas weiter weg auch Meer. Ruhig gelegen. Man fühlt sich in mitten der Einwohner. Kein typischer Touristenort. Eigener Parkplatz. Recht großes Apartment. Aufwachen vom Krähen der Hähne.
