The island is beautiful! The locals were curious but very friendly and respectful, and Dorcas was a great host. Unfortunately, the resort forgot about our reservation and we spent our first night in a fairly inhospitable room. We got a better space the next day though and that worked fine.

Eine wundervolle Lage am Strand für atemberaubende Sonnenuntergänge und die Möglichkeit, ein köstliches Abendessen direkt am Victoria See zu genissen. Die Unterkunft ist etwas abseits von anderen Hotelanlagen gelegen, in angenehmer Nähe zum Hafen (ca. 15 min zu Fuss). Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich und hat uns bei all unseren Fragen und Anliegen direkt weitergeholfen. Die Anlage ist nicht brandneu, aber sehr gut gepflegt und hält alles bereit, was man zum Entspannen und Entdecken der Insel braucht (tolle Lage direkt in der Natur, Pool, Lagerfeuer jeden Abend, Naturewalks in Wald und über Insel, Fahrradverleih etc.) haben wir uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gern wieder. Vielen Dank!
