"Very good water village. Not many guests when we stayed. We could eat our meals enjoying the ocean view all by ourselves. The owner cooked good seafood dinner for us and even made lunch for us when we had to check out early. The owner also took us fishing and visit a local village. View from the room is just wonderful!
