The room was just as pictured - and it was kept that way by the friendly staff.Looking out of the room at our private pool was better than looking at the sea - the beach was about15 minutes' walk away - with pristine white sand and clear blue water. Within that walk were eateries of every possible kind, from street food cooked over an open flame to posh hotel restaurants. Easy to get around using taxis. A return trip to the island would be to Maneh Villas.

Very impressive experiences in Ambong Ambong.
It is a very special hotel on a hill, small but comfortable. We lived in room s3, the one on top, with great ocean view. Every morning, we were waken up either by thoes fighting monkeys on roof top of our room, or by the shower rain hotting the roof top. It is a kind of feel that is far away from big modern cities, relaxable.
The staffs there are very nice and helpful. I would like to thank them again here.

A can of drink from the mini bar was 18 ringett and the shop down the road sold them for 1.70. However i will be going back there for sure! Great holiday.
