Villa Bananier

My wife and I spent 4 nights, arriving at noon by taxi(300 SCR) from the Cat Cocos ferry. Still feeling sick and dazed from the rough crossing, I rang the bell and the owner, Anna, arrived. She brought welcome drinks to the reception area next door, discussed bus/taxi/tour alternatives, processed the card payment, then escorted us to the accommodation building. Ground level room #2 was tiled with a very comfortable queen, 2 perfect contrasting pillows, expansive closet, stand with a small refer with 2 waters, coffee and a hot pot. A back door opened to a shared garden patio with 2 chairs and a table. The bathroom had a tile shower with small bar soap and individual shampoo packets. The quietly air conditioned room had a fan, ample outlets and was serviced daily. The 8AM breakfast was served by 2 workers; mango juice, fruit plate, corn flakes/coco pops(no muesli), toast with jams and instant coffee. Can ask for a choice of 4 types of eggs. We walked 300m east to Anse Volbert/Ma’s Take Away and 100m farther to the always open A1 Supermarket, ATM and a nice souvenir shop. We used Simon in his new Hyundai van or Ken in his older one for taxi service(all charge the same), after trying the local bus, only successful 1 out of 3 times. A few negatives include the late breakfast (problem for the early ferries), very weak room WIFI, unworking cold water shower faucet, missing nightstand and annoying small black flies.

Ho soggiornato qui con un viaggio di gruppo. Noi avevamo la junior executive. Direttamente aperta sul terrazzo che dava sul mare, unico neo che devi passare davanti ad altre due camere e ad un passaggio stretto tra la prima camera e la piscina e le camera da rimodernare. Il ristorante è direttamente sulla spiaggia. Colazione con possibilità di avere uova cucinate in diversi modi. Ci sono crepes, fagioli, bacon e wurstel oltre che a frutta pane in cassetta, burro e marmellata. La posizione richiede un auto soprattutto x andare a cena visto che il ristorante chiude prestissimo.

Una bellissima guest house a due passi dalla spiaggia di cote d'or. La padrona di casa Anne è gentilissima e sempre disponibile per qualsiasi cosa. Organizza anche le escursioni per le isole vicine senza problemi. Ottime sia la cena che la colazione. Stanze molto carine, con terrazzo e sempre molto pulite.
