We spent the last half of our honeymoon here after safari on the mainland. Everything was so perfect. The food was amazing, there was a different menu every evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms and pool were cleaned everyday. Usually we do day trips on our holidays, but we didn't feel the need to leave after 7 nights here. We already had a quite and clean beach and with own pool.
