Lovely place for a relaxing few days. It's an hour from the main road by transfer if you don't have 4x4. Went out on boat and saw whales. Food generally very good - although some lunches lacked protein except cheese. Wifi was only available in a certain area - and limited to 250mb free after that you had to pay. Lovely big big beds! Beach totally secluded for miles and miles.
lieu super... éloigné, joli et calme.
possibilité de transfert inclus limité...10h30... sinon en supplément. Pas du tout compatible avec 1 demi pension...
transfert d'1h @rajouter sur votre planning s'il est serré
Problème d'électricité dans notre chambre... qui semble connu et pas resolu
niet bereikbaar zonder 4wd. In dat geval wordt je opgehaald bij een verzamelpunt. Van daaruit nog 45 minuten hobbelen. Spreek de ophaaltijd goed af!
Toplocatie. Snorkelen, duiken in een warme oceaan. Houten veranda aan zee met ligbedden en zonwering voor het wouw effect.
Boek huisje met zeezicht!
advies: vermeld coordinaten!
Sehr abgelegene und romantische Lodge. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und der Service sehr freundlich. Leider ist die Lodge ohne 4-Rad-Antrieb nicht zu erreichen. Dafür wird man mit einsamen Stränden und völliger Abgeschiedenheit belohnt.
