The Headland
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ great villa for a real relaxing time. Around are some possibilities for eating, if not ask them to take you to the market there you can buy what you like to eat. They also can prepare something for you, so you not need to go out. And this area is away from all the tourist areas, real nice and quiet.

๐Ÿ˜ We came there as highly recommended by a friend. The cocktails were quite good but pricey. The vegan plates served were however failed to meet our expectations. The plating was fine but the food was not tasty at all. The only things we liked were the fried sweet potato and stacked eggplants. The mos...

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I was recommended to visit Don and I was not disappointed. If you want cheap then donโ€™t go! However if you want a high quality, bespoke, made to measure suit then the shop is definitely worth a visit. No pressure sales, professional and very knowledgeable. The whole experience was a pleasure and I e...

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ We decided to try and book a last-minute snorkeling trip, and Michelle was so helpful with communicating and ensuring we got exactly what we wanted, and at a great price.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ When reviewing dive operators in 2021, I could not find anyone better than scuba birds to get me through my open water certification. Prior to making the reservation, I spoke with Dimitry at length as I was nervous in doing scuba the first time. Dimitry set my mind at ease, he picked me up at the do...

Resort hotel
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ We were four pairs of friends + 2 children. We wanted a place that would give each family privacy on the one hand and enjoy the unity of all of us in a quiet way. The hotels did not give us this intimate experience so we looked for villas. Villa Assi gave us a perfect fit for what we wanted. The vil...
