Que està tot molt net i que cada dia et fan l'habitació. El bany és molt bonic ja que és exterior. La mitja pensió está molt bé i el menjar bonissim i quantiós. Mitjançant l'hostal vam fer l'experiència d'anar a veure mantas i va ser una passada.. El terra del pati es de sorra i no hi ha forma de netejar-se els peus abans d'entrar a l'habitació. Com a suggeriment podria estar be una manguera a l'entrada de l'habitació. També, com a suggeriment, estaria bé disposar de bicicletes per als hostes, per moure's per la illa.

Bella struttura pulita ed accogliente con una graziosa area esterna dove pranzare e rilassarsi. Buona anche la colazione a buffet ma con qualche problema. Visto che offre la colazione anche a ospiti esterni alla struttura è capitato due mattine che il cibo era finito e abbiamo dovuto aspettare che venisse ripreparato. Abbiamo anche provato una sera la cena a buffet, ma sinceramente la qualità e quantità del cibo non ci è piaciuta e non valeva quanto speso, molto meglio i ristoranti che si trovano sull'isola.

Excellent quiet and peaceful location. Very clean with good room facilities - safe, kettle, ‘fridge, air conditioning and ceiling fan. Excellent shower (open air) with excellent housekeeping for towels etc. Shower gel and shampoo provided. Two bottles of drinking water provided daily. Good choice at breakfast - maybe a fruit /herbal teas option could be offered. Manager Razeen always at hand (either in person or by WhatsApp) to offer help and advice. He could not be more helpful and obliging. Met us at the port when we arrived and delivered us back there upon departure - roads on the island are sand so luggage cannot be wheeled. Loved everything about our stay.
