Vogelkopf Resort

L'atmosfera. La posizione della struttura: si faceva snorkeling tutti i giorni dal lungo pontile panoramico. Bello al tramonto. La simpatia, la gentilezza, la disponibilità, la professionalità di tutto lo staff composto per la maggioranza da giovani ragazze simpaticissime sempre solari.

Tutto perfetto.

I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a home-away-from-home experience, especially thanks to the two fluent-English-speaking recepcionists, Cecilia and Adyah. They were incredibly helpful in resolving any issues with extraordinary friendliness and diligence. Thanks to them and their team we have had a great staying.

Exquisite, cosy, comfy, clean and safe resort, supported by a team of friendly and efficient staff. With a strong sense of Sustainability, the ”Green” resort is ecologically nested amidst a beautiful mangrove forest and coral 🪸 garden, offering easy access for visitors. Safe swimming and snorkelling deserved special mention as the rich marine biodiversity (diverse fish species, blue sea stars, giant clams, soft & hard corals, anemones, etc) is nested within a seafront boardwalk. Authentic and delicious cuisine and especially freshly caught trevallies, other marine fishes, mud crabs and prawns. Spacious rooms (both sea and garden views), great ventilation, comfortable bed 🛌, and very clean bathroom. Day tours, diving, birding and other outdoor activities can be organised easily too. Sustainable practices like vegetable gardens, rescuing endangered orchids and replanting of mangrove saplings, are the hallmarks of well-run resort.

Suggestions for improvement: Better wifi and also covering the boardwalk area till the coral reef. Additional beach towel for those snorkeling or swimming.

Food was good. We are vegan and most meals they would provide something specifically for us, and it was always tasty. Takeaway lunches were excellent. Staff are very friendly. The property has a good jetty for diving or transfer boats. It is also a just a short drive from the main port and has a large vegetable garden which is really well kept. Staff will organise transfers and ferry ticket purchases.

The images used for reservation sales are misleading. Our room had mould/damp on the ceilings, painting severely peeling from the front and bathroom door, and large ctacks. They also only supply one towel each, no hand towel. Our toilet also seemed to have trouble draining (we hadn't put any toilet paper down it), and one of the bathroom lights didn't work. It's worth noting that there is no outdoor seating in the garden room. Despite the Booking.com description, housekeeping isn't daily. The images also show a glass enclosure on the shower, which we didn't have. Lastly, one window is frosted glass without a curtain. If your neighbour in a garden room leaves their outdoor lights on all night, you also have a brightly lit room to sleep in. This review is for a 'deluxe' garden room. We thought the overwater bungalows looked very nice. However, if you know all of these things in advance, and are coming for diving, then it isn't a bad choice if you can get a good price. Would advise an over water bungalow for the best experience.
