"Pros: The house was very well decorated and finished to a high standard. The reef around it was beautiful, we seen a spotted eagle ray, octopus, moray, barracuda, toadfish, and more while snorkelling. Very peaceful, the owners live close by and stocked up the mini fridge within minutes of us asking. There was also the offer of breakfast and a 3 course dinner, which we didn't take, but in hindsight, might have made the trip even better. Wonderful 2 nights and would highly recommend. There was drinking water provided, warm showers, a toaster and a gas hob and the hosts were in contact before and during my visit, so i could find out anything i needed to know in advance. Cons: A/C would obviously be lovely, but with 2 fans in each room and the ability to leave the doors open with a screen in front, it was comfortable. On the second day, we closed the curtains in the evening to stop the bedroom heating up as much, which also helped. Of course, as it is solar powered, this wouldn't be possible. A bbq would also be a lovely addition, but on a wooden structure, is obviously a no go." ~Andrew

"Pros: a choice of 3 breakfasts, tasty, although not a buffet, nice and helpful staff, quiet area, good contact with the host, surrounding nature with monkeys and more, sounds, simple but nicely decorated interior, nice kitchenette outside the cottage, drinking water, fridge with paid minibar, fan in the bedroom. Cons: a bit steep path to the cottage, you have to be careful no air conditioning, luckily it wasn't very hot at night, although sometimes it's nice to cool down, ecology is more important than comfort, good for owner's business, worse for you, very simple equipment, tasteful interior but not very comfortable, bathroom and bedroom in one room, cramped toilet, the pool is actually a paddling pool, not suitable for swimming, you have to arrange transport everywhere, $0.75-$1/person for a bus, $3/person - taxi, distance from the city 6km (4miles), we couldn't lock ourselves from the inside (in our house) for the night, we had faith in safety and statistics, generally I was influenced by my daughter's opinion and nice photos, so think twice before choosing this place because it will require compromises" ~Jarosław
