Insgesamt ein schlüssiges Konzept von Annelise. Sie hat vorgesorgt für Strandausflüge mit Matte und Handtücher und Plastik Trinkgefäße, Trinkwasser gibt es kostenlos, Küche hervorragend ausgestattet, wir haben frischen Fisch gemacht, WLAN super, Betten bequem, immer wieder neue Handtücher, eigene Terrasse, Stellplatz für Auto,TV, alles was das Urlaubsherz begehrt

Excellent accommodation up in the treetops

The rooms are actually little apartments in a lush tropical paradise really close to the sea. They are spacious, clean and upon arrival come with a very nice welcome juice. The owner is lovely and also provides an excellent English breakfast for a small additional charge.

Friendly owners. The villa is very well equipped. Great bed, nice bathroom, induction hob, fridge, water pot (10 l), terrace in exotic tropical style. There are mosquito repellents (candles, gel repellent) for use. The villa is located in a tropical forest (palm trees, bamboos, bananas, etc.).
