The only thing shortcoming on this great island beforehand. The very long transfer (loosened by the ferry), after setting the Flugtransfers is required. Compensated this is however because of the really very nice Island with its reserve (really very beautiful Safaris with competent Rangers). And of course, by the hotel, the really 5 stars more than earned. Dream area; very beautiful room; very good food in buffet form or à la carte; attentive staff ( read the guests the wishes; excellent and competent management, the only Personalfehler more than good made.
