Let me begin by saying that we are divers, and we often book remote, rustic venues. This is neither. It is simply terrible. The airport transfer was a run down van that seated five people. Eight people were crammed in. We sat with luggage on our laps all the way to the hotel. A government conference was taking place at the same time. Upon arrival,we were initially ignored. Eventually we were served. We had booked a diving holiday. I had advised that it was my wife's birthday, and had wanted to book a special island getaway.Nobody spoke English. The dive shop was desolated and abandoned. Nobody could help. We went to the room. It was dirty. There were layers of dust and sand everywhere. Ants, the size of bugs crawled all over the room. We found the breeding place and managed to pour boiling water down the drain! We tried to order food, but eventually were told that they couldn't understand. We tried to order drinks. Nothing was available except beer, and a bottle of warm, Moscato wine, and a non-descript bottle of green liquor. We left the restaurant tired and hungry. Again we tried to ask for help at reception. Astri, one staff members managed to help. We ordered a meal, which was delivered to our room. Once complete, we rang reception to collect the dishes, given the prolific ant problem. these dishes were left outside our room for the following 2 and a half days! We made several requests, even showed a staff member the trays, covered in ants, and now rotting, to no avail!.
