It was paradise! The staff is so incredible and very friendly. There were days we just did not leave the place. Once you are there, you are able to switch off. Absolutely a lovely place!

The moment I entered the lodge, I was sorry we had only booked for one night. Very nice ambience, our room Milkwood was amazing (honeymoon suite). The interior design and the view - great. We had booked massages and a facial in their spa. I can highly recommend both - very professional and very good job. In the evening they took us by car to a restaurant and picked us up again. We really appreciated that. The restaurant suggestion was a very good one. The breakfast was tasty, with different healthy varieties to choose from. I would say, that it was a wonderful breakfast. We sat outside and enjoyed the view into the exotic garden and pool. Don‘t forget to order a cappuccino. Excellent. I also want to mention that they supply their guests with mosquito repellent, pool towels and even a panic button at your bed side. I thought this very attentive and I appreciated it.
