Great place to start your journey. Thanks to my friends at Agoda for a great recommendation. The place is very clean and also includes a small fridge that is helpful to keep your coconut cold. Staff had a little difficulty with English, so I had a little confusion about the fruit only breakfast. But other than that it's been solid. The room is fresh, no strange odor like you may find in other hotels. They like you to inform you 72 hours before the actual booking so they prepare things properly. All in all. Great!

Karaa Village averages 5.0 out of 5 across 44 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Rooms are rather simple but everything you may need is there. Breakfasts are buffets where you can compose a nice meal full of proteins. Owner and staff very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!
The staff had great hospitality. I liked the rooms because they had a spacious bed, good sized bathroom, and a small outdoor area to dry your clothes. It also felt quite private. The breakfast was a buffet, but it was not to my taste. Its location is in the middle of the island, so there is a bit of a walk to the beach but this was not a bad thing for me.
