가야나 섬에 있는 숙소 입니다. 제셀톤 포인트에서 10분 내외로 배를 타고 들어가요. 리조트 안에 숙박객이 많지 않고 아주 조용해서 좋았습니다. 저는 방에서 바로 바다를 향해 갈 수 있는 오션 빌라에 묵어서 스노쿨링 장비 대여하여 바로 즐길 수 있었습니다. 물고기나 해양 생태계가 아주 좋지는 않지만 그래도 즐거운 시간 보냈습니다! 카약과 패들보트도 빌려주셔서 바다에서 편하게 즐길 수 있었어요. 다시 방문하고 싶은 숙소 입니다.

We stayed in a Palm Villa and it was amazing. Loved everything about it, especially the breakfast delivered by boat. We spent a lot of time on our deck and in and out of the water. All staff were friendly and genuine. Food at all meals was great. Snorkeling around the property to look for giant clams was a highlight.

J’ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel à Gaya. La propreté est vraiment exemplaire : chambre impeccable, linge frais et espaces communs bien entretenus. Le personnel est chaleureux, professionnel et toujours disponible, ce qui rend l’expérience très agréable. Le service est efficace, que ce soit pour le check-in, le service de chambre ou la restauration. En résumé, un hôtel fiable, confortable et accueillant que je recommande sans hésiter.

海上的垃圾有點多，房間內的設備有一點就了，但其他的一切都非常棒，很有渡假的氛圍，可以待在海裡一整天。退潮時若要下水建議要自備膠鞋不然腳很容易碰到珊瑚

Andrew • Family Trip

This place is small but beautiful. The pace is slow and relaxing. The staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. There are activities to do each day if you want a bit of action and the equipment is all available. The timing of the scheduled activities can be a bit hit and miss but they make them available if you want them. Poolside is very relaxing. The spa treatments are wonderful with Amy but make sure you try and book them in advance. Lovely breakfasts and menu in general. A great place to relax and chill out.

날씨가 좋으면 훨씬 더 좋을 것 같은 리조트 입니다. 그래도 재밌게 잘 보내고 왔고 밀물썰물 있으니까 시간 맞춰서 잘 놀면 좋을 것 같아요.

We had a wonderful 3 d 2 n stay. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about gayana marine resorts activities and services. The rooms are clean and well maintained. We had an ocean villa and had stairs directly to the bay and went snorkeling all the time. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. Coral, giant clams and abundant sea life are just a few minutes swim away. Perfect for beginners. Padi diving is available. The bar is great and has a good view, go during happy hour. Hopefully we will get another chance to visit this wonderful resort.

Great getaway resort away from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for a couple nights stay as may run out of activities within the vicinity if staying longer. Staff were amazing and kind! Thank you to all!! Property condition is a bit outdated with expected wear and tear but kept clean enough for an enjoyable stay.
