"We stayed at Ambalama villa for one week in March. We travelled with our two small children (aged 2 and 3). We had an amazing holiday. The Villa, garden and pool are all absolutely fantastic... The staff were all lovely and always happy to help and suggest/make arrangements to visit local attractions... Lastly, the food at the villa was nothing short of spectacular. We have stayed in several villas with chefs and this was without a doubt the best yet."

"Ambalama was pure luxury and, again, we were extremely well looked after. We were a bit surprised by the proximity of the villa to the noisy road but got used to that very quickly and, ideally we would have liked to have been able to go straight out into safe sea. But we did find the safe swimming bit just further down which was perfect for the boys for their first snorkelling experience and, of course, the pool was superb. They also made great friends with the boys next door within minutes of arriving which led to many good-natured cricket matches and long chats on the wall watching their uncles fishing on their stilts."
