The bathroom door did not lock at all. The TV never turned on.
I arrived late in the evening and I was greeted by a staff member who showed me my apartment. I was expecting a small room but was pleasantly surprised to find myself being given a large 2 bedroom apartment that came with a modern shower room and a kitchen plus lounge room! There was air con inside and fans in the bedrooms and lounge room area. Rooms come with clean towels and you get a bottle of mineral water in the fridge, with refills available at the reception area. The kitchen had a cooker/stove/oven, fridge freezer, microwave and cutlery and crockery, so you can cook and eat easily, or go out for meals and supplies as there are plenty shops within walking distance! You also get given towels and toiletries in the shower room.
I had a great view from all rooms inside the apartment and I even had a private terrace area! There is a pool available for use anytime, plus they have Aldabra tortoises and you can feed them and take pics to your hearts content!
The staff are super friendly, helpful and attentive. The owner was also around on my final day there and he was knowledgeable and had great stories to share. My taxi failed to turn up on a day where I had to be at Eden Island within an hour. I was shown by staff how to download the bus app and top up a small amount on the app for use on the buses. Each journey is 10 rupees which is roughly 50p or less than a dollar. I went to Eden island then used buses again to go north and south of the island to explore fully! Thanks!
The flat was smelling so bad, old and completely dirty everywhere with yellow bed sheets and staines on all floors.
luckily we only used the place for some hours before leaving to the airport.
Never again
Un apartamento con todas las comodidades. La playa de enfrente es perfecta para el baño con baja profundidad y aguas cristalinas. Tiene una pequeña piscina también, ideal para los niños.
We only stayed one night before our flight and the apartment was great for us. Well equipped and large. There was no aircon in the living room which was uncomfortable but the ones in the bedroom worked well. Staff were friendly.
