“Amazing place, staff, location and food.”
29 Dec 2024
The staff was great, food was amazing and location top notch. I did the padi open water diving course and it was all very well organized and managed. The other guests were great and the staff did a good job bringing us together for Christmas night. All in all, I had an amazing time.

“All in all, we had a very good stay”

It was right on the beach and lounge was very nice also the food was good And we had 2 days of snorkeling, in spite of the weather that was a pity over the weather and rain quite a bit but still we had a good time

“Excellent spot for a bunch of activities in and around the Mafia Marine Park”
28 Nov 2024
The camp is optimally located and has all the facilities if you like diving or snorkeling in the Mafia Marine Park. The camp serves nice breakfasts and you are able to enjoy lunch and dinner as well if you like. In case you can't make it to breakfast due to a planned activity, they also provide good solutions to take breakfast with you or later. Our bungalow was also a very nice and had a great sea view. They all do by the way.

“It was a lovely one night stay. We were well accommodated and everyone was very friendly. The food was delicious”
