    Beautiful resort. The location is amazing, my room even had ocean view. The food is fantastic, every day was a celebration and surprise. Which for me as a vegan is quite hard to find usually, even in Europe. Let's not forget about the staff....

    Diesmal die Bewertung der Kinder (zweites Zimmer): Ganz toll gewesen Ganz wichtig: Mafia Island ist ein Paradies für Taucher! Außerdem gibt es in den Sommermonaten organisierte/überwachte Schildkrötenschlüpf-Termine - ganz toll und auch gut...

    The location is excellent. The rooms were old but comfortable. Internet available in common areas. Beautiful beach bar recently built? Caters to individual food taste.
