Our Cabana was very charming, with the outdoor shower a real delight! The side door opened on to a terrace with two sun beds, a nice option to get out of the hot sun.
There is a lovely swimming pool looking out across the Indian Ocean, the beach itself is clean, although when we were there the tide was quite high, so not a lot of sand, the the sea was lovely and warm!
The menu was slightly limited but perfectly okay for our stay, and the food was excellent. A shout out to Leo the chef.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. More

As a family of 4 we had a cabana/villa with two rooms joined by an external veranda and so had plenty of space. The rooms were a little dark but the semi-open bathrooms were bright and airy. The pool is lovely and whilst the beach isn’t perhaps the white sands of brochures, it is very near and we had a lot of fun playing in the warm sea and waves. The pool is perfect for relaxing by and the kids had a lot of fun in it. We liked the food very much and found is more reasonably priced than elsewhere with a menu rather than set meals.The crab curry was delicious. There is not much else nearby and so this is a good spot for a few days relaxation - though tours whale watching etc are available.

There was a STRONG ocean wind during our stay, and one of the open-air cabanas by the pool was the place to cool off after an amazing swim in their gorgeous pool. We could not swim in the ocean because of the surf, but we did not miss that at all because of the pool. On our second day, we did spa treatments - a back massage and two foot massages. They were WONDERFUL. My sister and I then did the cooking class. We made daal curry, fish curry, sauteed gourd and okra. We made enough for all six of us to eat for lunch, and it was delicious.
