Delicious Dining Experience

Every meal at Butiama was a delight! The highlight was definitely the seared tuna, which was absolutely fantastic. I loved that dinner was served beach-side, allowing me to enjoy not just the food but also the beautiful scenery. The variety and quality of the meals made every dining experience nice.

Cozy Bungalows

I stayed in a lovely bungalow that was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped. The ambiance was immediately inviting, with an open design that allowed the sound of waves to lull me to sleep each night. Plus, the mosquito netting and repellent products provided assured me a peaceful rest without worry.

Amazing Snorkeling Adventures

The snorkeling experience here was unreal! I had the chance to swim with whale sharks, which was absolutely amazing. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured we interacted with the gentle giants respectfully. I also enjoyed snorkeling at Chole Bay, seeing vibrant fish and beautiful coral formations.
