Great attention is given to the smallest detail. The resort is VERY photographer friendly. Each building has a table especially for camera work with good light. The tables are supplied with 110V and 220V build-in electricity outlets. The camera tables have each a built-in sink and running water.

Every bungalow has a back entrance with a back yard with a place to hang wet suits and the like. Once inside there is a large bathroom area with all western comforts. This lay-out ensures the roomy bedrooms to stay sand free (especially your bed!!!). To reduce the sand problem and enable comfortable walking all resort buildings are connected by a 2 meter wide walkway which is lit by night.

Drink & Dine

Meals and drinks are served a large over-water dining area with long tables, sheltered by a traditional palm thatched roof, which always offers a nice, fresh breeze. In the kitchen, coffee, tea and flavored drinks are always available for guests. The kitchen is always busy with staff preparing meals. All meals are being cooked in woks, stew pots or else. There are no electrical appliances, everything is made my hand. In back of the kitchen, the staff slice fresh vegetables and fruits in the open air under the shade of the trees.

Each meal is prepared fresh. Vegetables, fruits and fish are bought from local villagers, coming to the resort beach with their boats. Ice boxes, supplied weekly from Sorong, contain fresh meats and can chill a beer when required.
