General Comments
We have recently returned from three weeks at the Club Palm Bay (Sept 2008) on a Saga holiday. Hotel staff were very friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Our Saga Rep, was excellent. The patio of our bungalow had a view over the lagoon with its numerous birds and elusive water monitors. Rooms were kept spotless, bedding, towels,mosquito repellent and bottles of water replaced daily. Flowers on beds each night made a special touch. A plentiful variety of curries(very hot!), pastas, western food and magnificent desserts. Morning coffee and snacks, afternoon tea and a midnight buffet are provided in the bar in the unlikely event that you get hungry in between meals. The pool was fantastic and suitable for all ages. It was kept clean by the pool boys who provided loungers, towels etc. and always with a smile.

Outside the hotel are tour operators Fernando and Samantha who offers excellent trips at very reasonable prices. Both are highly recommended. Tuk tuks are there too for shorter journeys and can take passengers to places which are inaccessible to larger vehicles. Drivers are very knowledgeable. Roads are not like ours and traveling on them can be quite scarey.

Also outside the hotel are two tailors. Mr Stitch is the better tailor but the Tailors Shop has a greater selection of fabrics. You can take garments and get them copied or take your own material to get clothes made to measure.
