Towel
It was okay and affordable ….i didn’t like the fact that if you wanted a new towel and was going to be charged for it …isn’t changing towels a part of hotel stay and cleaning? We had to reuse one towel from day 1 to the end of our stay. Also they charged me city taxes at the end of my stay which made me confused because I paid taxes online with my booking so why do I get charged taxes after my stay?

Schöner Aufenthalt
Super schöne Anlage mit freundlichem Personal. Haben immer ein Lachen auf dem Gesicht. Leider sind und die Betten zu hart gewesen und man konnte fast nicht schlafen. Auch keine Fenster und somit fast keine Privatsphäre hat uns nicht so gestört.

J'ai profondément aimé mon séjour au Shanuo Beach Bungalows. Le personnel est souriant et professionnel, les chambres sont bien entretenues, le petit-déjeuner est délicieux, l'emplacement est juste parfait (vue sur la magnifique mer de Michamvi Pingwe et sur le Rock Restaurant). Pour moi, tout était parfait, je reviendrai. Merci.
