Great location.
Pros:

Well located in the Settlement area within walking distance of the Flying Fish Cove and local sights/restaurants/businesses.

Cons:

Uncomfortable bed and sheets were scratchy! The ocean view rooms were not occupied so it would have been great to be offered one of those rooms. We requested a late checkout as plane leaves in the afternoon but this was not possible.

Ocean views, too easy
Pros:

Fridge and tea making facilities much appreciated. Bed was comfy. Place was clean. Property manager was lovely - had all the info I needed and easy to check in/out. Lovely to listen to the ocean at nights and sit on the balcony with a cuppa in the morning watching the world go by.

Cons:

N/A all good

Nice place.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable.
The room was airconditioned
View of the ocean was great
The staff were great

Cons:

There were no cooking utensils. No pots or pans, no tongs or spatula.
The shower door leaked resulting in wet towel on the floor.
The outdoor BBQ facilities were what we ended up using most the time, however this was on or off, the system did not have any control over the temperature

Mein allererstes Mal auf der Weihnachtsinsel , im südindischen Ozean - experimentiert🫠🫠 Dankeschön
Pros:

Guten Tag & Hallõ Miteinander;
Eigentlich würde ich im Gesamthaften eine 7/sieben geben - Konnte es aber nicht mehr ändern !
Danke.
Es ist schön & soweit herrlich gelegen hier - das SunSet-Mõtel in Flying-fiSh-cove....!!
Direkt ein paar Meter oberhalb des Ozeans situiert !

Leider gibts keine Frühstückmöglichkeit oder sonstige Verpflegung in der Unterkunft [!!]
Dafür hatte es in meinem Zimmer Tee/Kaffee/Zucker, 1L Vollmilch, ein Teewasserkocher, 1Mikrowellenerwärmer & einen Brottoaster , den ich aber nie brauchte , einen Kühlschrank + einen TV mit Sendern, jedoch nur! englisch, und Leider keine andere Sprachen !!
Zum Teil sind-/waren die Tavernen in der nächsten Umgebung geschlossen; dann muss man halt einfach weiter fragen, was , wie & wo offen ist ! !

Frau/Signora Angela ist eine fürsorgliche Frau/+Oma/Mutter.... Herzlichsten Dank für Alles !!
.. es hat auch ein schönes kleines Bad draussen - zum Teil mit Sonnen-/Regenschirmüberdachung , sehr klein & auch so fein gestaltet....!
Der nächste Super-/Minimarkt ist in etwa 10Fussminuten vom Zimmer aus erreichbar - dieser hat allerdings sehr frühzeitig, nachmittags ab 5Uhr schon geschlossen !!
Es hat dann noch ein paar hundert Meter weiter noch ein anderer freundlicherer Mini/Supermarkt, auch auf der linken Handseite gelegen , zirka 50 Meterchen neben/hinter der malaysischen Moschee entfernt - welcher unter der Woche in der Regel meistens bis 20Uhr geöffnet hat !! Nur Sonntags hat dieser Laden dann um 18Uhr zu !!
Bezahlen durfte man auch mit Master-/& Visakarten ! Sowie auch noch mit Bargeld .......

Cons:

.... es gibt glaub ich gar keine Taxis mehr , auf dieser Insel !!
Im Netz gibt es dazu wie fast immer-/überall, verschiedene - manchmal widersprüchliche Angaben !!!!
Ich musste dann selbstständig die Fahrt ins Mõtel hin organisieren .....
😇🫠Durfte dann mit einem sehr lieben FRL.Signorina bis zu meiner Unterkunft mitfahren ! ! 🥰😇

Excellent view, very kind owner with a marvelous room.
Pros:

The owner Angela is so helpful and kind. I was in a room with a sea view in the upper floor. The room has a an excellent air conditioner and a large sealing fan. Angela also arranged for me a rented 4x4 car for 3 days which was very convenient exploring the island. If one day I will return to the island I will definitely come back here.
