If you want luxury - don't come here! If you want privacy and isolation - don't come here! If you want a tropical holiday - with unlimited snorkeling opportunities a few feet from your beach hut - unbelievable sunsets, the opportunity to meet travellers from all over the world, the chance to unwind and relax and recharge your body, mind...

As a family member of the writer of "Wolf in sheeps clothing" and who shared the same experience and stay at Matriki, I am writing to apologize for what are absolutely untrue critiques of our stay, as put forth in that review.

Such are the trappings of daily life for the business traveller and I... More
