Johann & Anra Honeymoon
Dec 27, 2024lloydseuns
We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The staff, the environment, the food & drinks , the locals and how everyone is just willing to help where they can !! I would recommend it to anyone!
We loved the dogs that was part of the hotel , the only bad experience we had was when the one security guard chased the dogs away by using rocks.

What an amazing trip. We came for our honeymoon and we really had a luxury trip. We swim, danced and played rugby with amazing staff members and the food was just absolutely delicious!!! One of the most memorable time we had and the cherry on the top was 100% our view from our room.
Beautiful country and hotel
