INCLUDED IN YOUR BOOKING: This is one of the few properties that offer an on-site shared washing machine and dryer.

The water is potable, as it is from a very deep on-site well & triple filtered. WIFI: Each house has a dedicated wifi beacon with strong signal (average 350 Mbps) , and port for ethernet cable if needed. CLEANING/LINEN CHANGE: For stays of 7 days or more, we include free of charge a weekly cleaning and change of bedding and towels.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL: The bedroom and living room/kitchen have air conditioning, and there are fans in the living room, bathroom and covered porch. The bedroom windows have screens. POOL: Our pool uses a salt-chlorine generator. This means that instead of adding chlorine to the pool water, we add salt, and the generator converts it to chlorine. Pros of a salt-chlorine pool: clear, smooth water, feels silkier; less electricity required; gentle on skin, eyes & hair; no chlorine smell; does not fade swimsuits & pool gear. Pool is not heated, but has all day sun and plenty of shaded areas on the pool deck.

Children must be watched in the shared spaces at all times. NOTE: As this is a developing island, there are occasional power outages. Keep your devices charged up as much as possible! We have battery-operated fans, lights and phone chargers in case of night-time power outages.

We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable three weeks at the accommodation. This was our second time here, and we're still thrilled. Quite a few things have changed since our stay in 2024. The pool has been retiled, and a lovely, comfortable communal terrace has been added, which we often used in the evenings once the children were asleep. Our two children loved the pool and made the most of it. We were so happy to stay with Sarah and Steve again, as they are such lovely, warm, and welcoming people. The accommodation is furnished with great attention to detail and has many amenities. We lacked nothing; we were even able to leave many things at home in Germany. I hope to see you again soon.

Excellent séjour, tout était comme sur les photos même mieux que nos attentes, Sarah est très réactive et accueillante. Il est préférable de louer un scooter ou de se déplacer en grab. On s’y sent vraiment chez nous, beaucoup d’équipements à notre disposition. Nous reviendrons sans hésitation. Je vous le conseille fortement. Merci encore pour ce séjour formidable :)

This stay exceeded all our expectations. The photos truly don’t reflect how amazing this place is – in reality, it’s much bigger, more beautiful, cleaner, and more modern. The hosts are extraordinary. In over 15 years of traveling, we have never experienced such genuine kindness and warmth. Their hospitality is impossible to put into words. Staying here with our 7-month-old baby was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Early check-in at 8:00 a.m. and a very late check-out at 4:00 p.m. without any extra charge was something we have never experienced before – pure generosity. The apartment had everything we could wish for, including a baby cot and even Apple TV. We would choose this place again without hesitation. A truly unforgettable stay – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I think this was one of the few AirBnBs I‘ve stayed in where the amenities where actually bigger than the pictures. The Pool was amazing, the neighbours (other guests) felt like distant friends and the hosts were caring and making sure everything was clean in the outside facilities daily in the Morning. I‘d highly recommend booking (from a Person who is normally over cautious when booking things)!

Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben. Sie war sehr sauber, man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Lage war auch super. Direkt in der Nähe gibt es einen Supermarkt. Auch die Küche und generell die Unterkunft war überdurchschnittlich gut ausgestattet. Da hatte man das Gefühl, dass an alles gedacht wurde. Die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos! Vielen Dank für die wundervolle Zeit!! Gerne wieder.

We loved this spot. Sarah’s beautiful compound is an oasis with a glorious view and a comfortable pool. So many amenities and every little detail thought of, and all the furniture and linens were in great shape. Comfortable and relaxing all around. Management was very quick to respond - we had a minor issue with the toilet breaking that could have caused our stay to be unpleasant but the manager Valerie got it all sorted someone came to fix it within just a few hours. Really could hardly as for better service. I was very impressed. Potential guests should know this spot is a bit out of the way with relatively few dining options in east walking distance. But if you are happy to cook at home in the well-equipoise kitchen and or eat at the smallish number of delicious spots within a short walk this place is a dream. And of course with a car or a scooter rental or grab there is tons within just 15-20 min away. We would come to this place again in a second. Thanks Sarah and team!
