Honeymoon to Thonga Beach Lodge
It was really great. Some of the rooms could do with a bit of a refurb and for lunch, perhaps having a small a la carte menu would be great but these are personal preferences and we couldn't fault the service and staff.

Accommodations were great except they had some water problems. The lodge is so eco friendly with minimally impact on nature. The staff worked hard to correct them. Food, staff, service was all excellent. We of course, totally enjoyed the bar. Loved the whole adventure of eating outside for all me…
