We loved our stay here- Silva and the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and we had great excursions to see a variety of animals. The downstairs lounge was a beautiful place to relax and eat. Beach access is just a short walk and was scenic and not busy at all during our stay. Highly recommend!

Highly suggest staying here!

My wife had an amazing stay, we can highly suggest this hotel. The staff are great, location is perfect with a "Tourist/Bikini" beach just nearby along with some nice reefs to snorkel. They also have loungers at the beach for you. Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear is available for free as well. We did the Whale Shark excursion and the pricing was good. The whale sharks were amazing to see but be ready for some crowds. If you plan to stay on Fenfushi this is the best and only place you should look to stay at. If I had to give any negatives it would be the wifi and kitchen. Wifi in the rooms is iffy but in the lobby it was great. The kitchen staff is a bit slow even though you set a specific time to eat, but the food was great when it came out. Bring snacks as the island only has 1 little local shop and they dont have much. And the only place to eat is at the hotel so snacks are nice to have.

El hotel está muy próximo a la bikini beach, es nuevo y confortable con un personal atento a todos los detalles. Contratamos la excursión para ver al tiburón ballena y fue una experiencia increíble. Son pocas habitaciones, en la isla es el único hotel de estas características, por lo que prácticamente éramos los únicos turistas en la playa. Si buscas tranquilidad con buenos servicios es el lugar ideal. Todo genial, la habitación luminosa, limpia y confortable. El desayuno variado y de muy buena calidad. Repetiríamos la experiencia.
