The staff was attentive and everything we needed was provided. The island was private and perfect for an “unplugged” vacation.

Lucy United States of America

Isolated feel island, it was completely private and just us. The staff is only female, so as a Muslim female I was able to be free and not have to worry about hijab. They faciltated with halal food. Christina and staff organised beautiful dinners on the beach by the sea with bonfire and made it very special. Our last night happened to be the first night of Ramadan and staff were very accommodating in providing our pre dawn meal at 4am.

The staff were absolutely fantastic and the secluded beaches were quite beautiful. Loved the privacy and overall atmosphere of the place.

Die Exklusivität ist herausragend, die Baby-Schildkröten dürfen angefasst, gestreichelt werden. Highlight war, dass wir als Familie vier Schildkröten dem Meer "übergeben" durften. Die Massage war toll, auch die Kinder wurden für ein kleines Trinkgeld massiert. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich. Die Nichte des Besitzers, den wir kurz kennenlernen durften, macht einen guten Job. Danke an Christine und die anderen Lady-Butler, den Koch, die Bootsmänner, die Massage-Frau...

ロケーション最高。オールインクルーシブルで、スタッフが色々なシーンを提供してくれたこと。ボートで、ダイブスポットへ連れて行ってくれ、スノーケルや飛び込身が出来たり、どこにいても、プライベート感があり、のんびり大自然を堪能でき素晴らしい。

안녕하세요? 직원은 매우 친절 하고 응대도 좋습니다. 고객을 위하는 마음이 느껴집니다. 음식도 잘나오고, 자연과 더불어 스포츠를 즐기는것에 대단히 만족 합니다. 직접 잡아온 물고기를 구워준 것에 매우 감사하고, 회 뜰수 있느냐고 물어봤는데 회도 떠주더군요. 낙시, 스노클링, 카약등은 원없이 했습니다. 섬에 손님이 거의 없어서 참 좋았습니다. 작은 섬은 10~20분 안에 다 돌아 볼수 있습니다. 천연환경에서 이만한 숙소도 없을거 같습니다. 빌라 내부에서 샤워를 하면서 별을 볼수 있습니다. 그렇다하더라도 사생활은 보호됩니다.
