Delicious Buffets

The dining experience at Walindi was really good. Every evening, we enjoyed a diverse buffet with fresh fish and a variety of meat options. I especially loved the local touch in the dishes, making each meal a good surprise.

Comfortable Bungalows

I stayed in one of the spacious bungalows, which provided a cool and relaxing atmosphere. The design allowed the sea breeze to flow through, and I found it more than comfortable without air conditioning. It was a great place to unwind after a day of activities.

Amazing Snorkeling

The snorkeling experience was out of this world! The reefs offered amazing coral diversity and I encountered everything from sea horses to barracudas. The clear, turquoise waters made it feel like a dream come true for an avid snorkeler like me.

The bungalows were clean and comfortable, though not luxurious, but suited my needs perfectly. The diving experience was outstanding, with pristine coral reefs and very little crowds. While the communal dining experience was enjoyable, I wished for a few more options at dinner. Overall, it was exceptional value for money, with a very accommodating atmosphere.
