Mafia Island Lodge

Затишний, найкращий на даному острові, проте не новий. В деяких номерах нема кондиціонеру, що є важливим при такій температурі. Гарний рецепшен. Не багато людей. Не виняткова, але не погана кухня, багато морепродуктів та фруктів. Тихий, спокійний відпочинок. В основному приїзджають туристи заради дайвінгу.
