Jacqueline the manager is very friendly and makes sure everything is perfect. Azeem is very attentive, the food is excellent, the camp very well maintained (we even had a “bathroom” under the stars) and the location is just beautiful - watching the sunset on a sand dune and the milky way in a sky full of stars is just breathtaking. If you’re looking for a truly authentic experience, this is the place to go. ##### Katia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Feb 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emmanuelle 7 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Emmanuelle Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Alila Jabal Akhdar, Oman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nizwa-Hotels-Alila-Jabal-Akhdar.h7755939.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edenbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edenbridge-Hotels.d6023905.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gion-Kyoto-Hotels.0-n6160577-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Wyndham Garden Salalah Mirbat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirbat-Hotels-Wyndham-Garden-Salalah-Mirbat.h74207147.Hotel-Information) > > [Maya Ubud Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-Maya-Ubud-Resort-And-Spa.h979395.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Nancy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nancy-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d7094-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Marbel Hotel by Palm Wings](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kusadasi-Hotels-Marbel-Hotel-By-Palm-Wings.h6420211.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Bangkok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Conrad-Bangkok.h904240.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Senses Zighy Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zighy-Bay-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zighy-Bay.h1688437.Hotel-Information) > > [Millennium Resort Salalah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salalah-Hotels-Millennium-Resort-Salalah.h27523883.Hotel-Information) > > [Limanaki Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kefalonia-Hotels-Limanaki-Hotel.h3748507.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge In The Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Lodge-In-The-Vale.h11899654.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Mussanah Resort, Sultanate of Oman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Musannah-Hotels-Barcelo-Mussanah-Resort.h4100127.Hotel-Information) > > [Exe Rey Don Jaime Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Hotels-Eurostars-Rey-Don-Jaime-Hotel.h10416.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Karmela Princesse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Karmela-Princesse.h17297466.Hotel-Information) > > [Ikonik Jean Medecin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nice-Hotels-Yelo-Hotel.h68060873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gladstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penmaenmawr-Hotels-The-Gladstone.h11546217.Hotel-Information) > > [Alila Hinu Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salalah-Hotels-Alila-Hinu-Bay.h60872511.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Machrihanish Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machrihanish-Beach-Hotels.0-l6093063-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Cairns (CNS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/cns/dublin-to-cairns) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Galileo Galilei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/psa/london-to-pisa) ### Packages ### General > [Visit St. Lawrence Gap](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap.dx6141640) > > [Visit La Gomera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Gomera.dx6025053)
