Pros:

Al Raha Lodge siamo stati benissimo, si trova in una posizione ottima, zona tranquilla per chi vuole godere di calma e tranquillità ed assaporare l'autenticità dell'Isola, è una zona ottima per osservare il fenomeno delle maree

La struttura è molto carina, con poche camere, ideale per rilassarsi, si può godere di ottimo cibo cucinato in modo eccellente, personale gentile e sempre sorridente
La consiglio vivamente 😊

Pros:

Avec seulement 6 chambres, l’établissement offre une atmosphère intimiste, calme et chaleureuse. La vue sur la mer est tout simplement magnifique, et la piscine permet de profiter pleinement du cadre exceptionnel.
Nous avons également été conquis par la cuisine : des repas délicieux, avec un menu différent chaque jour. Un grand merci au cuisinier pour cette cuisine savoureuse et raffinée !
Mais ce qui rend le séjour vraiment inoubliable, c’est surtout la gentillesse et l’attention de l’ensemble du personnel, tout simplement inégalables. Nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de chaleur et nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous.
Une adresse que nous recommandons les yeux fermés, et où nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! ❤️

Prachtig verblijf op een mooie locatie
Pros:

De locatie is prachtig
Wij waren de enige toeristen
Dus hadden alles voor onszelf
Aardig personeel

Cons:

De verkopers op het strand
Als je 1 voet op het strand zet,komen ze meteen op je af
Daar kan het hotel niets aan doen

Elke avond komen ze spuiten in je kamer tegen de muggen,maar dan kan je zelf ook niet meer ademen
Gewoon de horren dichthouden
Dan zijn ze er ook niet

Ik vond de tripjes die ze aanboden erg prijzig
We hebben dat zelf geregeld,en dat was een stuk goedkoper

A perfect quiet getaway
Pros:

A lovely quiet and homely feel, the staff made us feel more like house guests than hotel guests. The location is perfect right on the beach but discreetly away from the beach vendors. It was a perfect tranquil retreat for us to relax and while away the days in the sun.

Cons:

Nothing really, there’s no AC but we prefer this in this climate and the room’s were cool, shady and well ventilated with fans so it wasn’t an issue.

Soggiorno meraviglioso tra relax e buon cibo
Pros:

Soggiorno davvero rilassante, piccolo hotel direttamente sul mare, la vista dalla terrazza è magnifica. Staff molto gentile, ci hanno fatto sentire a casa. Camera molto spaziosa fresca e ventilata, colazione molto buona e varia. Spero di poter tornare presto

Cons:

Pensavo che la bassa marea fosse una cosa negativa invece è stato bellissimo camminare in spiaggia per centinaia di metri e fare il bagno nelle piscine naturali che si formano quando il mare si ritira
