Lodges in Portugal

"This trip was planned as-hoc and we didn’t have very high expectations, however Hyena lodge was above and beyond. Absolutely stunning views, clean (clean clean) accommodation, bathrooms and overall territory. The beds were comfortable with beautifully designed blankets and pillows. Each balcony had a nice bench to sit on and jointly amazing views of Lake Mburo. Also we had game drive and had a chance to walk very closely to several giraffes and kids throughly enjoyed it. Overall very memorable stay! Highly recommend!"

We could have fit in the twin room easily with our two teenagers, but unfortunately the booking doesn’t show that option for families. The room is double the size of the standard room with two queen size beds. Actually we all stayed together first night and it was spacious enough. Hence would be good to list this room for four people as well.

"Peace and Love! Thank You much, Cliff and Staff for such Great hospitality and care. Stay was of much comfort and value.."

Thank You much!

"Quiet, green, uncomformist to the Italian onslaught in the rest of Watamu, wel kept, and very kind personel. Plus great breakfast."

The fans could use an update.

"Very good vibes in the heart of the forest. I recommend to utilize golf cars to help gusts to go up to the Main Street , also they have to bring card machines, food and beverages to be ordered from the cottage."

Rubbish out side our room in the forest

"Fantastisk beliggenhed. Smuk natur. Super at sejle ud på søen og fiske. Dejlige møbler. Hyggeligt indrettet."

"The staff is so friendly! Was really a lovely experience. We only stayed one night to extend on the island , but It was one of our favourite experiences with the owners. Their kindness is so refreshing. The bungalows are basic, the bed is so comfy. It really gives you jungle beach vibes. Also try their coffee, best cappuccino ever. Double shot and the froth is on point. We even ran into the owners in Ranong coming off the slow ferry and they offered us a ride to our hostel. It really just made us so happy! I wish them all the luck with this new project of theirs. They have only really been actively open a total of 5 months!"

A little further from the beach but if you ride a scooter you are fine. 16 minute walk to one beach and the rest are about 40-45 minutes in each direction walking! Food not too far!

"This place is simply amazing, what stands out is the attention to detail and the magical garden with pool. Highly recommend it for you nature lovers. The hosts were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. There is plenty of parking space, a bakery and exquisite french restaurant just around the corner. Pro tip: watch your step when going to the pool, turtles are sometimes patroling the area."

"It was a magical place, well thought out, clean and had all the things we needed!"

maybe a nice sign or where to turn before the dirt road street would be nice to know , in case people ever feel lost or even at night when its hard to see.

Not too close to restaurants- but not too far.

"Cozy, immaculate cottage with a great view. Fabulous hosts who were very accommodating. Great location in the middle of Castries and Rodney Bay. Short walk to the beach."

Construction work going on next door but that was not the owners fault.

"We just had a 3 night stay here. The cottage is very unique - little rustic with a lot of character . We enjoyed the full kitchen and were able to cook great meals and enjoyed eating outside on the large wrap around deck. You feel like you’re in a treehouse and very secluded. Yet you’re very close to the beach and town. We loved the big spacious bathroom and having hot water was a bonus! Jac-Luc was a great host and communicated well ensuring we were comfortable and had what we needed. We felt it was great value for money and would recommend and we’d stay again."

The large outside wrap around deck, full kitchen and large bathroom

"The friendly staff. When problems arised, like we couldn't turn on the AC, or didn't get water in the shower, they helped us out swiftly."

They didn't clean the room while we were there, but waited until we left. It was only two nights, but anyway, we would have expected to get clean towels at least.

"The place was so clean, cute and the staff was very helpful and friendly."

"The property has a very low ranking; therefore, I was suspicious regarding what to expect before the stay. However, almost everything was OK. I booked the best room and its is fully OK. The property responded to my questions very fast. The manager/ owner was very helpful. Dinner - not much choice, but very tasty (just bit too expensive). Nice small beach."

Delayed breakfast, but hope this was just a special case.

"If you want a peaceful, calm and stunning environment, this is the place. It is simple, but has everything you need in a beautiful setting. Perfect for nature lovers who don't want to be on top of other guests."

Was a bit musty smelling, but after being opened up and aired out and a candle or two it was perfect.

"A wonderful small house in a quiete place. Not a big one but equipped very well with all necessary kitchen appliances including a dishwasher. There is also a nice terrace outside with a barbeque place. Everything was very clean, the house is very cozy"
