No need to go far for rest and recreation – two sweet water pools surrounded by a lush tropical garden with beach chairs, hammocks and futons perfect for reading or relaxing to the music gently drifting in from the two bars are right behind the bungalows. Our restaurant serves only local products, bought fresh; such as tropical fruit, fish and seafood straight from the ocean, organic vegetables, all of it served in a harmonious bevy of spices.
