Было бы здорово повесить аккуратную антимоскитную сетку и штору на дверь, так как в номере плохая вентиляция и пахнет пл
Pros:

Красивый интерьер, близость пляжа с песчаным дном, вкусная европейская ели и кофе.

Cons:

Слабый интернет, как впрочем и в других местах на острове. В номере не очень хорошая вентиляция, поэтому пахнет сыростью.

Amazing place to stay
Pros:

This place is a little gem in Neil island. The rooms were great and well maintained. The gardens were beautiful and a lot of care was put into looking after everything every day. The host made me so welcome and I was able to join in some shared social dinners and breakfasts which was perfect as a solo, female traveller. The Dive India team were amazing, professional and the diving was great. Highly recommend.

Cons:

Some mosquitoes at dusk and sunrise, but would be same anywhere...

Revamp Needed
Pros:

It's a nice property and well located, but desperately in need of a revamp for the price being charged. Looks and feels like a 1970s state tourism like facility. There are beach front cottages with the same amenities at half the price.

Cons:

was not value for money.
