Magnificent vacation. The bad reviews (rats, food poor, chiggers, russians throw money out (do not envy...) I can't understand. The flight with the water-plane was worth the trip. The beach bungalows are really great, especially the outside bathroom was a great experience. The quality of the food is almost not to exceed, from noodles to rice, potatoes, meat, fish, sushi, salad buffet... And in different variations - we had everything. The food is really very different, what the tour operator is. Meiers weltreisen had in all-inclusive really everything, every cocktail. Only the massages were a bit overpriced, but still in … read more

Due to ignorance and the description we had a garden villa. Shower, bathtub, the roomier veranda, in the first row lying and the direct access to the beach we needed definitely not. But locally was the disappointment then huge. Not only, that the furnishing and the equipment of the beach villas much premium is (a garden villa has a maximum three stars standard). The major problem is : for all of the guest the garden villas is only a very small, specially designated beach section available, again from morning until noon shade for just only six (!) Beach chairs offers. … read more
