Perfect place for a romantic getaway or to unwind.

We stayed here in march 2023 and it was fantastic. The staff was super nice and flexible, the room was great and the food was amazing (our waiter, Célestin, suggested we had the Tilapia fish with potatoes according to a local recipe). It's the perfect place to rest and unwind. Definitely worth it!

schönes Bungalowhotel an traumhafter Lage

traumhafte, einsame Lage am Muhazisee, schöne Bungalows und gutes Essen (frischer Fisch). ein idealer Platz um auszuspannen. sehr freundliches Personal. Schwierig zu finden auf guter Piste. unbedingt vor der Anfahrt Wegbeschreibung anfordern.
