Guestbook for Vanilla Arches

What a wonderful Villa, the Sea view from our bedroom was just incredible. The beach is beautiful and unspoilt. The Staff were friendly and accommodating, nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
The food was fresh and tasty, we loved the evening barbecues. We're definitely going back.
Andrew and Eleanor Laughton-Stanley, Dubai. November 2008.

The perfect place to unwind, just what we needed! Expect to be pampered.
We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The pool is great and the setting is complete. We enjoyed the privacy of the villa, especially the huge garden and surrounds.
Karen and Peter Dickens - Melbourne, Australia. January 2009.

Never have I had such an awesome, affordable holiday, Vanilla Arches really is the ideal destination. The diving, the kitesurfing, the fishing and of course the food! We loved the privacy, yet also connecting with the local people and learning about their way of living. Thank you very much guys, see you again in the near future. Hugo Uys - Dubai, UAE. 2008, December
