Delicious Dining Experience

The meals were wonderful, beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. I particularly enjoyed the lobster dinner, which was promised for my next visit! The dining atmosphere was intimate, allowing great conversations with other guests while enjoying very good dining. I felt truly satisfied after every meal.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I had a wonderful massage experience at the beachside spa hut. The gentle sea breeze flowing through the muslin drapes while the skilled therapists worked their magic made it feel heavenly. I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing environment to unwind.

Amazing Snorkeling Opportunities

The snorkeling right off the beach was simply lovely! I was amazed by the vibrant coral and the variety of fish, including turtles and even a reef shark. The accessibility made it possible for everyone in my family to enjoy the underwater wonders.

Comfortable Accommodations

Our interconnected Fales were perfect for our family. The spacious lounge area allowed adults to relax while the kids napped next door. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had easy access to the beach, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The clean and rustic fares blend perfectly with the lush surroundings, making relaxation effortless. While the dining experience is delightful with tasty meals, the portions can leave you quite full!

Bokissa Island is a serene getaway that offers exclusive tranquility with great snorkeling right off the beach. The bungalows are quite basic, lacking modern amenities, but they provide a comfy retreat. The dining is consistent, though perhaps a bit dated in style. Overall, the value for the experience of marine life and exclusivity is definitely there, but it may not appeal to those looking for luxury.
