The staff was very friendly and satisfied all our requests. They received us at the jetty and brought our luggage to the hotel. The excursions they provided were well planned and they provided extra personal help when we went out snoorkling during manta ray safari as well as when we went out fishing. On the negative side, the room we got did not have any windows looking out and lighting in the room was not sufficient.

The accomodation had everything we needed, was very clean and a minutes walk from the beautiful, clean beach. Purna, our very helpful and efficient host went out of his way to ensure all our needs were met, from providing daily breakfast in the garden to helping us organise activities. All the islands restraunts were in easy walking distance. Highly recommend Gunbaru Inn.

NICE HOTEL CLOSE TO THE BEACH AND RESTAURANT & BAR

E' stata un'esperienza positiva, siamo stati assistiti in qualsiasi esigenza . La stanza era perfetta e la pulizia anche. La struttura organizza escursioni . E' vicinissima alla spiaggia , ci sono a disposizioni lettini e ombrelloni ( a deire in vero non sono molti ma credo si stiano organizzando ) , I teli mare ci sono stati forniti dalla struttura . Nel complesso ci tornerei
