Un’accoglienza formidabile
Pros:

L’accoglienza! I signori che gestiscono l’hotel sono meravigliosi. Una gentilezza e una disponibilità uniche.
Preparano anche la cena se richiesto alla mattina (consigliato il piatto di pesce, strepitoso).
La posizione è buona perchè è a due passi dal mare ma i “lidi” sono più verso Uppuveli (5 minuti di tuk tuk che può chiamare l’hotel per voi), se volete muovervi a piedi vi conviene cercare più vicino a Uppuveli.

Cons:

La camera era molto spartana e piccolina, ma in relazione al prezzo è onestissima.

Pros:

הצוות היה מדהים-שירותי ומאיר פנים. עזרו מעבר כשיכלו.
ארוחת בוקר פשוטה אך מספקת. היה נקי ומרפסת משותפת רחבה..
50 מטר מחוף נחמד ונקי

Cons:

המיקום רחוק מהאזור המרכזי המתוייר, לנו היה נהג אז הסתדרנו.
בהתחלה לא היינו מרוצים מחדר האמבטיה , אבל החליפו לנו חדר ביום למחרת
לא מקום מפואר, אבל לנו היה מספק. לדעתנו תמורה נאה לתשלום

We had a wonderful family stay and felt right at home.
Pros:

We stayed in a standalone apartment which offered great privacy. The staff members were friendly and helpful. The owner created a warm, welcoming space that felt just like home. It was a great stay for our family.

Cons:

We experienced low water pressure in the shower at times, but this was a minor observation we could tolerate.

Pros:

I had a very pleasant experience at the Tobiko Hotel. The rooms were clean, and the location couldn’t be better. But most importantly, the owners and staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. They helped us with every question we had, whether it was renting a scooter, dolphin watching, snorkeling, or simply advice on which beach to choose or which temple to visit.
I highly recommend this place.
