    The in-house cook prepared meals with provisions we brought, or we ordered from the beachside restaurant. Both options were tasty and convenient.

    Reef Edge was our base for town-hopping across the southern coast. The owner helped arrange transport and excursions—super helpful
  • Novaz

    We loved sipping tea on our private balcony, surrounded by greenery and birdsong. It felt like a secret garden by the sea.
  • Lorra

    Not a designer villa, but everything you need is here. Clean rooms, hot water, Wi-Fi, and a short walk to the beach. Great value for money.

    “Snorkeling right off the beach was magical. The shallow reef teemed with life, and the nearby restaurant served delicious seafood. A peaceful retreat for ocean enthusiasts.”
