Magnifique
J’ai passer un super séjour ! L’accueil était top, les hôtes gentilles et respectueux. J’ai pu pendant ce mois de ramadan partager les repas avec eux ça fait chaud au cœur.
Merci pour tout à très bientôt

No aircondition, but s fan in the roof. That didn’t help when the power was off… it was too hot.

Closed to the beach
The place was closed to the beach, just behind a hotel, 2 min by walking. It has a swimming pool. The room were real, natural bungalows. The water was weak when you get shower. Dining area was great, big and relaxing

Amazing staff
Amazingly friendly staff, beautiful area, 50m from the beach, nice pool, close to the city, clean bungalows and a nice bar.

Not for solo travellers
Looks nothing like the photos. Pool was dirty and the girl "running" the reception was so uninterested in anything and barely smiled once. Was empty most of my stay and not comfortable for a single female traveller.…
