JankaRating, 5 stars67 months ago
We had a great stay at Iles de Palmes! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and they made sure we had everything we needed. They also organized a great snorkeling trip for us and a rental car that was waiting for us at the jetty. The interior of the cottages is pretty and the location of the hotel right at the waterfront is beautiful!

SamanthaRating, 5 stars9 months ago
A beautiful holiday home, nestled in the the foot of the mountain with great views. All information provided at booking stage, which assisted with car hire, excursions everything we needed. Denis & Helena were also very helpful throughout our stay, and Helena made us a very tasty chicken curry. All in all, a highly recommended villa not far from many other beautiful sights to see in the surrounding areas.

Private room in Chole Island
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsChole Art1 - Mafia Island
NicolasRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We stayed in Chole Sana for two days. We were greeted by Rajab the owner's brother who was a very nice host. The accommodation overlooks the bay of Chole and the place is very quiet. No worries about electricity. Rajab was very available, showed us around the village and even offered various activities (visit ruins on the island of Juani, lunch on a sand bank...). The diving clubs in the city of Utende that are on Mafia can even pick you up directly on Chole and take you back there. We loved our stay, you can go there without hesitation to enjoy this haven of peace.

Beautiful villa on the outskirts of Stonetown, it comfortably fit 10 people (with shared beds) and it’s about a 15 minute drive from town. Host was very helpful, flexible, and responsive. House is beautiful, with direct beach access and a fully equipped kitchen. I would happily stay again and would recommend it to anyone.
