Independent Report
locationThis agricultural tourism oriented property is located on the hills near the sea 500m away, and about 3km outside the village of Mastihari, Seagull's bay is nicely tucked away from the crowds. The airport is 5km away.
generalThis is a hotel apart from the rest, it will appeal to those who are looking for an alternative type of holiday and want to learn more about the local culture and the traditional arts and crafts. A rich and real world experience for most, however the hotel also caters for those who just want to relax in an exclusive and well preserved natural environment, as there is no lack of service and amenities. Highly recommended (EP 01/09)
