It is a meanful place for us . Nice view, professional bulter, delicious food, everything is well in my eyes.

Zheng, China

The attentiveness of the staff, the welcoming, it felt like home, this place is stunning way much beautiful than the photos, the food served is exquisite, the facilities, the view of the ocean from the room is simply breath taking, as if your in a dream and you never want to wake up from. Tim the owner of the Hotel is amazing, always around to checkout the facility, the staff are always willing to assist and help. It is the simple yet detailed touches in this place that makes it wonderful, the bedtime story, the beach bag, the electricity adapters, the lovely smell of mosquito repellents and the toilets as if your actually outdoors feeling the see breeze coming into the room. I'm definitely coming back to this place, to me it felt like home.

Perfect location in Pingwe Beach, just in front of the turquoise blue sea. Nice location for a short stay... Then I recommend changing to explore other part of the island. Please choose the ground floor rooms. Amazing! Good food, beautiful room, beautiful pool, loved the staff. Everything was perfect!

Larissa, Brazil

The property was excellent, every detail was taken care of. The cleanliness, the food, the staff (esp Tim and Mohamed), everything was top draw.

Anonymous, South Africa

The peace and quiet of the Hotel and Beach was exactly what we were hoping for. The Staff, from Management down to the guys keeping the gardens neat and tidy, were quite honestly fantastic. I am not ashamed to admit that we both shed a tear on our departure. I really cannot speak highly enough of our whole experience. Thinking about going?, just book it, you will not be disappointed.
