Damaged by the Tsunami, were all the 16 Beach Cottages and 3 of the Deluxe Cottages, along with our Beach Restaurant. Those rooms and the Beach Restaurant will not be available for a few months, as renovations will take place only from April to October. However on the Lawn of the Beach Restaurant we will be able to offer our guests a nightly Seafood BBQ, which will start running later in January.
