A welcome cocktail, cold towels, and a fight with luggage leads to the room. A dollar tip leaves him quite happy with life : ) Although, all the staff there are happy with life, because on their native islands there is no way to earn those 100-150 dollars a month.
We were provided with a superior 137, detached, not far from the dive pier. We booked a superior for 3 days and a deluxe for 9 days, all with all inclusive. The air conditioner is a beast, but it can be adjusted. The beach is not wide, but the sunbeds fit perfectly and no one interferes with anyone. And in general, there is no feeling that you have someone sitting on your head. All tourists are in pairs, mainly from Western Europe, and everything is in order with the upbringing of THIS category.
And nature...It needs to be seen and felt. Sea of green. The island is maintained in a state close to natural. Between the cleanly swept and sanded paths there is a real tropical jungle. Fish and birds are just not scared.
Lizards, crabs run right under your feet, crows and bats fly overhead. Thoughtful herons stand on the shore and look into the distance ...And they all DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO YOU!! ! J Despite the fact that the equator is here, the temperature during the day does not rise above 32 degrees in the shade. But the sun bakes incredibly, so it is not recommended to be under the sun for more than 20 minutes with open skin in any part of the body without a protective cream - you will burn out.
Our luggage arrived only on the third day. All this time we did not light up and almost did not swim, because in the shop on the island there are no swimming trunks or swimwear.
Just on this day, we were moved to the long-awaited deluxe. It turned out to be a DOUBLE bungalow. True, a slightly larger area than the superior, and with armchairs and a cabinet with lighting. But there was no open bathroom as in the superior. And you can still hear your neighbors behind the wall.
Another minus was found on the mini-beach near the bungalow.
Half of the northern coast of the island is covered at the entrance to the water with a thick crust of dead sharp corals. So we asked the rumboy to take our sunbeds to the sandbar at the eastern end of the island. Fortunately, it was 20 meters from the bungalow.
I first tanned under a cream with factor 25, then, after 3 days, I switched to factor 12. There were no burns and the tan is very unusual in color, but beautiful. Yes, I steamed under the sun for no more than an hour and a half. The rest of the time I swam with a mask and snorkel, but in a T-shirt so as not to burn out and in socks so as not to wash my legs in fins.
The underwater world looks pale, but the more beautiful the colored fish look. The picture that opens near the reef cliff is fascinating. In perfectly transparent, sunlit water, a cliff of corals goes down into the darkness. And who knows who is swimming there in the dark.
On the first day after my arrival, I foolishly suffered a swim.
I rushed over the shelf at a fast pace and went beyond the reef break. Then back. I was very lucky that there was a tide then. I passed inches above the corals at the edge of the reef. If the water had been a little lower, he would have torn off the skin on his chest and would have been treated until the end of the vacation. This is what I realized later in the mask.
For swimmers, passages have been cut through the corals and marked with numbered buoys. There are 10 or 12 such passages.
The food at the hotel is excellent. Every day of the week, new dishes are prepared from meat, fish, chicken, and vegetables. True, half of the dishes with a huge amount of curry. But after the Moscow food curry was perceived perfectly. It is best to drink all this food with cold local mineral water. After her cola seems like a chemical solution. Yes, there are a lot of salads and fruits. The fruits are ripe and very tasty.
The staff at the hotel is very friendly. They smile and say hello no matter how many times a day you meet them.
Tips are left on the occasion of a large order or for services that are not part of job duties. Something like this: 10% for a waiter at a paid dinner in a sunset bar, $ 1 for a porter, a rumba at a meeting, a boat captain on excursions, $ 10 per person for a waiter at a farewell dinner.
I don’t recommend taking excursions, it’s not worth killing time, it’s still nothing interesting. When fishing, the chance to catch a fish is minimal. You should not go to the neighboring islands - they look very miserable compared to Vilamendu.
There are almost no Russian tourists, thank God, on the island. From the strength of 4-6 people. They drank vodka in the heat and always sat in the same chairs at the bar.
The rest are Germans, British, Dutch.
No one speaks Russian on the island, so be guided by English, which the local staff communicates quite confidently.
