"Bungalow super sympa et atypique. La cuisine est très bonne et fraîche : tout est fait maison sur place. Seul petit manque, il n'y a pas de cocktails. La plage est juste devant les bungalows et pratiquement déserte, hormis quelques cours de surf. De jolies vagues pour s'amuser, avec des planches mises à disposition par l'hôtel. Le bémol : c'est un peu à distance des commerces, il faut prendre un tuk-tuk pour s'y rendre. Un conseil, utilisez l'application PickMe, sinon c'est plus cher — le...

"C'est la première fois que nous faisons ça mais nous sommes partis après avoir vu la chambre et l'hotel. Nous avons demandé un remboursement, la personne nous a dit qu'il suffisait d'annuler en ligne et que ça ne posait aucun problème pour lui, mais la plateforme Expedia a essayé de contacter plusieurs fois l'hôtel pour un remboursement et l'hôtel n'a jamais répondu aux appels et mails.
