Beautiful bay but communication lacking

Madeleine_C, Jul 2022

The bay was beautiful and the boat was very nice with comfy beds and great food, but communication was really lacking. Several things in the itinerary were not delivered as promised, including the cooking class/demonstration and the morning Tai Chi. When we asked about these they simply said no due to covid, which didn’t really make sense but we would have ultimately been fine with had we been told in advance - it was also very frustrating that the price was not adjusted at all despite missing two activities we were really looking forward to. The rooms were comfortable but not that clean - there were bugs in our room including fruit flies, and the bathroom smelled like sewerage coming from the drain in the floor. Only one guide spoke English and he wasn’t always available of course, so even ordering drinks was very difficult, and about 75% of the cocktail menu was unavailable (and what was available was a bit overpriced for the quality). But the kayaking and the bike to the village were both fantastic, and all in all it was a pretty good tour for the price you pay - just needs more communication and a bit of a higher standard, and a price adjustment to reflect the missing activities.

sleeping uncomfortable

tokieuto, Jan 2020

Great experienced! Friendly and helpful staffs. However, sleeping arrangement were very tight for 4 of us (3 adults and a 8yo) on 1 single bed and 1 double bed

bon rapport qualité prix pour decouvrir le coin

Laurent_U, Nov 2023

Prestation de base (le bateau date un peu) mais plutôt sympa dans l'ensemble (11 touristes en tout). Pas de Tai shi, ni apéro, ni cours de cuisine. Par contre on a adoré les deux excursions (village en vélo et rando kayak) faisables avec enfant de 8 ans. Les repas étaient bons.
