“We loved this charming guesthouse! Guilia, Naim and Chika really made this feel like home. There was only 3-4 rooms, and we were the onely guests for a part of our stay.
Guilia has really made a little piece of paradise here. The cool coral sand, the palmtrees, hamocks and jolies (?, maldivian layed back benches). Your own sun chairs and umbrellas att the beach in front of the guesthouse (bikini beach). Guests from the big hotel nextdoors tried to use the facilities of the guesthouse all of the time, because it was so much nicer in Giulias little corner.
You eat together at a big outdoor table on the sand, and Naim made lovely tuna pasta, curry, fish, applecake or whatever you liked. We also had a lovely christmas dinner here, italian style (thank you so much Giulia!).
We made a trip to Chicken island, (destert island) which is really near. We had the most wonerful day there, the beach was magic and we had it almost for ourselves. The day ended with us playing beachvolley with Giulia and Chika in the sunset, before taking the boat back.
We went on two snorkeling tours with Chika (and Giulia), both lovely. We saw turtles, rays, dolphines (from the boat), shark and hundereds of different kinds of colorful fish. These trips (just like the one to Chicken island) was very affordable, we later saw trips to the same places for three times the price (or much more if you are at a resort). And we felt very safe in Chikas company.
They also took the time to take us to a spot in the sea that felt like a gigantic swimingpool right in the middle of the ocean, lovely sand and turquose water. Paradise!
It was sad to leave, and everyone went to see us of at the ferry. Thank you so much Guilia, Chika and Naim for all the lovely memories we bring home!”
