Super souvenir
Pros:

Les tentes sont un peu à l écart au calme ! Quant aux visites guidees sur la plage (soiree et tôt le matin), ne les louper pas c est un sacré souvenir ! J ai vu différents com à ce sujet pour ma part je suis ravie surtout la visite du matin peu nombreux plus au calme et surtout à la lumiere du jour pour voir les tortues.. il y avait enormement de baby et de grosses tortues encore sur la plage. La nuit on les voit à la lumiere rouge pour ne pas trop les éblouir et il y a suffisamment de place et de tortues pour faire des petits groupes .

Nice staff, nice experience, old building
Pros:

It’s the most appropriate location turtle observation

Pros:

The turtle watching experience was good.

Cons:

The property is not at all maintained. The shower in the bathroom does not work, the electric kettle does not work. You cannot get water bottles or food at all after 9 PM. There is a single caretaker at the reception which can only help you fill tap water. The dinner and breakfast was subpar. I have stayed twice at the hotel and the earlier stay 10 years back was very good. Now it has gone very bad with nothing well maintained. It is much better to stay at some other hotel or airbnb and come just for the turtle watching experience

OK room but loved seeing the turtles up close
Pros:

We stayed in the luxury tent and I thought that they had done a pretty good job with it. It had a proper toilet and shower which was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was air conditioned and security wise is was pretty secure. The reason we stayed here was to see the turtles and the reserve runs two sessions daily. One at around 8.30pm and another at 5.30am. The 8.30pm sessions was far the best one and so informative. The guide was super fantastic and showed us the turtles in the different stages of laying eggs and explained everything in detail. The morning session was less informative where the guide stood around and hardly spoke but you could still see turtles.

Cons:

The living area could have been cleaner and some of the internal and external lights didnt work. I wasnt happy about the expose cabling (Even though behind a bed stand). Food a little bit hit and miss. Note that it can get very windy out where the tent is so if you are not used to these element consider a room inside the main complex.

Literally the doorstep to a beach full of turtles and a Mother Nature experience you will not forget
Pros:

On the doorstep of the turtle reserve. A quick hop down on a bus provided by the reserve and the freedom to walk back when you are finished. The room is clean provides a good shower/bathroom, fridge and kettle with enough drink provisions and the dining facility provides plenty of good food. Breakfast offers everything to keep you going all day. Staying at the hotel includes your access to the beach and turtles both evening and morning.

Cons:

The beds/mattresses are firm but still comfortable to support a good night’s sleep
