    This place is very clean and calming. We stayed there for one last night before flying home and just wanted to relax. It's very quiet and a good place to relax and get some rest. The breakfast was very good and the man working there very kind and friendly. Just notice that there are not many nice restaurants around and Ja-Ela city is very busy and not good to relax. But you can also order food via Pick Me App. I loved the garden and the pool - lots of birds to watch and very calming.

    It is close to the airport, has a pool and is relatively cheap. Never the less - the place needs a proper cleaning and looks a bit like the years got ahold of it. But the friendly and helpful staff made it even for us. Weigand a nice view with sunrise too!

    A beautiful villa in a quiet location close to the airport but also close to the lagoon and the amazing wildlife there. Sudesh looked after all our needs and got up early to take us to the airport in his tuk tuk.

    The villa was beautiful and our hosts were very welcoming. They shared local tours, offered dinner for an additional fee and booked for us to have a student yoga instructor do a private class with us. A lovely fruit platter was offered to us afterwards which was a much appreciated gesture. This was a perfect way to end our trip and was conveniently located 20mins from the international airport and a short 10min walk from Jai-Ela (supermarkets, restaurants, cash points). Very good value for money.

    Generally good. But it was more than what was on booking.com, not the amount promised to people. Although it is called a private pool, it does not have a private pool. Everyone has one pool. There were cockroaches.
