Fantastic getaway. Excellent food, all you want for a getaway. ##### Rene Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LW, Leeds 4 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magnificent Dugong Beach Lodge We had an amazing 9 night stay and were very sad to leave. Ernesto has an amazing team who work incredibly hard to provide guests with a professional yet personal service. Despite the location we were never bored, electricity is not available 24 hours but we did not find this to be a problem. Long beach walks helped to counteract the effects of eating the amazing food served by Chef. The beach is long and very clean, we had low tide in the morning so managed a couple of hours exploring each day. We did a game drive, sanctuary walk and sunset cruise, all with lodge staff which we would recommend. ##### LW ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort the staff at dugong were amazing, the cook in particular. a real treat for foodies. unfortunately, the remote location means not everything is always available and the bar is often running out of ingredients. the wifi was not working for the entirety of our stay ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley, Windsor, England 19 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A slice of Paradise From the minute we arrived at the airport to the minute we sadly departed we were made so very welcome. Our transfer to the Lodge was seemless. A warm welcome with dancing & singing on the Jetty made us feel very special and we knew then that this was a magical place. The lodge rooms are right on the water and situated perfectly to watch the magnificent sunsets. Privacy is respected. The peninsula is very quiet and therefore allows total relaxation. You can do as much or as little as you want with the staff happy to organise and assist whenever required. We ate too much but it was hard not too as the food overall was fresh and delicious. Eating by candelight on the terrace or Jetty overlooking the water was delightful and romantic. The chef always willing to please. Facilities in the main Lodge area provide an alternative and spacious area to relax with a TV, Games, Books and wifi (if you need to keep in touch!!). Fresh pool towels are provided on the Lodge terrace and the rooms were cleaned and refreshed every day. ##### Lesley ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Seaspray - Excellent sea views of Mullion Cove, escape, relax and enjoy!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-Seaspray-Excellent-Sea-Views-Of-Mullion-Cove.h39066170.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Benguerra Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benguerra-Island-Hotels-Azura-Benguerra-Island.h1797361.Hotel-Information) > > [Portsmouth Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels-Portsmouth-Beach-Hotel.h23565.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Residences Costa del Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mijas-Hotels-CLC-California-Beach-Resort.h55538737.Hotel-Information) > > [Boat Hotel Matylda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-Boat-Hotel-Matylda.h1775287.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Cambridge Central Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Ibis-Cambridge-Central-Station.h15401581.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Bristol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d688-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near St. Mary's Isle of Scilly Terminal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Marys-Isle-Of-Scilly-Terminal-Hotels.0-l553248635930533794-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Atlantis, Bahamas - Harborside Resort w/ all Atlantis Amenities included](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nassau-Hotels-Atlantis.h30088750.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Mediterranean Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mediterranean-Coast-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6054860-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Koh Tao Relax Freedom Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koh-Tao-Hotels-Freedom-Beach-Resort.h20118052.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near AO Arena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/AO-Arena-Hotels.0-l6079173-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Aultbea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aultbea-Hotels.d6048678.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aparthotels Greek Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greek-Islands-Apart-Hotels.d6271742-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Abbaye des Vaux De Cernay by Paris Society](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cernay-La-Ville-Hotels-Abbaye-Des-Vaux-De-Cernay.h14775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nevada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Nevada.d230.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Le Grand Hôtel Le Touquet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Le-Touquet-Paris-Plage-Hotels-Le-Grand-Hotel-Le-Touquet.h44662.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Shenyang (SHE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/she/london-to-shenyang) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Geneva (GVA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/gva/glasgow-to-geneva) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cpt/london-to-cape-town) ### Cars > [Click Rent Car Rentals In Ziar Nad Hronom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Click-Rent-Car-Rentals-In-Ziar-Nad-Hronom.d6200572-c1089.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Banja Luka](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Banja-Luka.d6389.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Hendaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hendaye.d500460.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Mauritania Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mauritania.d114.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Harrogate Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate.d7733.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Crocky Trail](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crocky-Trail-Chester.d553248621561942105.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Wolverhampton Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wolverhampton-Holiday-Rentals.d5484.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Madeira Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madeira-Island.dx11326)
