Wow - just wow! From the moment we arrived, the staff were helpful and attentive, but the Cabana and its location on (or just above) the beach was spectacular. This is obviously made incredibly special by the Green Turtle who swim in the shallows directly outside your veranda. I won't go into the ethics of feeding or touching these beautiful animals and whether it is right or wrong (there is one sign suggesting the latter). But either way you cannot help but be excited by the sight of a turtle swimming right up to you in such clear warm seas.
But back to the Cabana, we found it very clean and comfortable, we also ate all our meals here and a big shout out to the chef - the food is exceptional!! Overall we had the best time, we experienced the biggest & closest thunder & lightening storm ever on record (in our opinion) , we ate like kings, swam with turtles, walked on the beach, relaxed and loved every minute of our stay ... Thank you!

We really enjoyed our beachfront chalet here. The staff were great and very helpful. Deepika is very welcoming and made sure we were happy throughout our stay. Our meals were delivered to our balcony. We caught some fish (elsewhere) and the chef prepared it for us ! There are turtles right out in front. Very easy snorkelling.
The fan in our room was quite ineffective on the hot nights. We had to have it up very high which was noisy and felt a little unsafe. However, I am not sure what else could be done about this.

The location of this hotel was situated on turtle point which was great (keep in mind that this means it also gets very busy throughout the day but stunning in the mornings). It was nice to lounge on the sun beds within the property and have easy access to the beach.
We especially liked the bathroom of the hut, it had a great hot shower!
-Electricity was unreliable. We couldn’t use it till later on in the evening.
- If you’re not an insect person, like me, it is difficult to relax and feel comfortable there.
- Although the location is great, it is very expensive for what it is. The facilities are standard.
