Quaint comfortable stay
Pros:

Clean and cute dogs and puppies running around the common area

Cons:

Common area was quite loud at night sometimes even up to 2am but I guess that is dependent on the guests themselves not the property

Pros:

We like the staff, Titi is a great worker and great cook. The rooms are simple, but very comfortable and clean. Nice size too! It was our second time staying there. They are located close to restaurants and shops and beach.
Staff can help you with motorbike rentals.

Cons:

Most os us are surfers. So the place has a boat but nobody to organize surf trips or island trips. We need to do ourselves. And miscommunication can happen. The captain or someone else should be around to help organizing the trips for next day. Even the amazing island trips for no surfers or flat days.

Parfait
Pros:

Un homestay tout en simplicité que je recommande les yeux fermés : à deux pas de la plage et de quelques restaurants aux alentours, avec des espaces communs très agréables pour se poser et jouer aux cartes, la possibilité de louer des scooters et de faire des excursions géniales. Mais ce sont surtout l’hospitalité et l’accueil des hôtes qui font tout le charme de ce homestay : le propriétaire est très réactif, disponible et serviable ! et surtout, surtout, Aldes et Toro sont les meilleurs et ils ont rendus notre séjour plus que parfait à nous montrer l’ile de fond en comble et partager avec nous des moments authentiques à travers leur bonne humeur. Je serais restée bien plus que 5 jours si j’avais pu
Foncez, vous ne serez pas déçus de votre séjour

Nice
Pros:

Was cool vibe with other backpackers. Comfy beds, good pillows, super close to beach. Aircon pretty luxury as well

Cons:

Cook wasn’t very friendly, food could take ages. Staff often very hard to find. Food a bit pricy and serving sizes weren’t great except the miegoreng and nasi goreng. Especially the nasi goreng was great. Taxi to ferry and back way over price. We also did a snorkel tour and they gave us marks but no snorkels. The snorkeling wasn’t great, and the people who did it the day before said the staff caught fish and fried them on a beach fire and got them coconuts. We didn’t get any of that. Our guide was very anti social and the tour was expensive. Cool fish at the last spot tho 🤷
Not very close to ferry, no fruit near by

Very disappointing
Pros:

The bed and the location are good. It’s not in front of the beach, you have to walk around the arrival of the mangrove in the sea

Cons:

The staff is not at all welcoming, and no one speaks English. Whenever you ask them something, the answer is “no.” The kitchen is never open. Either the cook isn't there, or the ingredients aren't ready. In short, a very disappointing experience. I came here for the atmosphere and to meet the locals, but it was impossible. It feels like we're annoying them more than anything else.
