My experience at Walindi Resort was simply amazing! The beautiful tropical gardens created a serene atmosphere, and the bungalows were comfortable and spacious. The staff truly made my stay unforgettable with their warmth and hospitality. While the absence of air conditioning might not suit everyone, I found the natural breeze to be just fine. One downside was the inconsistent electricity during the day, but it didn’t overshadow the incredible diving experiences and delicious meals we enjoyed.
