Великолепный пляж и просторная вилла с ванной и душем. Впечатляющий снорклинг. Все условия для уединённого отдыха за умеренную цену. Не стоит ожидать масштабной анимации, бара и других сервисов - тогда будет уже другой формат.

Отличный отель по соотношению цена/качество. Достойный домашний риф, снорклить можно прямо с берега. Хорошая уборка номеров, пляжи чистые. Комары есть, но примерно как везде на мальдивах. Питание нормальное, здесь им есть куда расти, бывают смены...
