It was a home away from home! Agnes and her team took me in and cared for me, gave me tips, and fed me. The room is very spacious and pretty. I loved to have my own seating area infront of my bungalow although I preferred to sit in the main area on a couch cuddling the dogs.

Super friendly team and eclectic mix of international guests and conservation volunteers to meet eating together at breakfast, lunch and dinner (if needed - they were very relaxed when we ate elsewhere or arrived late). Lots of fascinating chat. Basic rural-style rooms, good WiFi, working fans and a really special atmosphere. Church service option onsite on Sunday morning and lots of activities (they helped us arrange boat ride to snorkel and see dolphins, and we were dropped on the stunning beach outside afterwards). Sea swimming in minutes every morning. Delicious home cooked food - a whole red snapper one evening, and pancakes every morning. Cynthia, Betty and the team were a total delight even when only there for a few nights (some stay for months).

It was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful location and the serene atmosphere. The resort is set in an idyllic beachfront setting, offering stunning views of the ocean. The staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze was an absolute treat. The resort offers a variety of activities, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the pool and exploring the beach. The food was another highlight. The resort’s restaurant offers a wide range of delicious, high-quality dishes, catering to different tastes. Overall, my stay exceeded my expectations, this resort offers the ultimate getaway.

Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

Our stay at Mida Creek hotel offered a serene escape. Hotel's location provided a peaceful ambiance ideal for relaxation. There was the option to use a boat for transport to the opposite shore, adding a touch of adventure. Hotel's intimate atmosphere and personalized service made for a cozy retreat. The amenities, from comfortable rooms to scenic waterfront views, were thoughtfully designed for our comfort and enjoyment. The attentive and professional staff further elevated our experience. It would be 10/10 but...
