One of our favorite places since 2007! The magnificent lagoon view never fails to make the place seem magical. Food is good as always, but it’s really interesting how they always have no electricity when we dine here (so shakes are out of the option)

This place is sensational, especially if you are an expat. I mean, none of us want to go back to CCA, communist country of Australia anyway. Come here once, you won't want to go back either
