nice spot for quiet holiday
The stay was amazing, great spot to chill out and really get a quiet holiday. The villas are so beautiful 😍 Couple of things that could have elevated the trip. The pool to be regularly cleaned would have been nice. Everyday it was full of bugs no matter what the time of day! Would also be great for there to be a better bar service from the sun loungers plus all day snack menu! Staff over all were absolutely excellent and super friendl.

At Tikitam, we felt at home from the very first minute. All members of staff as well as the manager were absolutely friendly and helpful at all times. Everyone was eager to make our stay as comfortable as can be. Besides, the food and drinks were remarkably delicious and prepared with passion. The room was decorated nicely according to its theme and the interior was well-chosen. Moreover, everything was perfectly clean. Tikitam is located within a wonderful piece of nature and for those who want to spent some relaxing days, it is the perfect place. We are absolutely happy to have spent one week here and would definitely recommend it!

Jederzeit wieder
Super schönes und sauberes Hotel. Das Essen war sehr lecker und der Service top. So war ich zum Beispiel am ersten Tag krank und das Personal hat sich um mich gekümmert, als wären sie meine Mutter. Es war der ideale Ort für unsere Flitterwochen. Sehr ruhig und romantisch. Zudem kann man SUP, Kajak... um sonst hohlen und um sonst Billard spielen. Auch kann man an der Reception Touren buchen. Leider hatte es am Strand viel Seegras (saisonal bedingt). Aber man kann sich beim Hotel Strandschuhe holen und als wir ca. 50m ins Meer liefen, war der Strand super schön. Und der Manager spricht deutsch. Vielen Dank für alles!!!!

Fantastique, innoubliable
Nous sommes restés 5 jours dans ce havre de paix, le genre d'endroit où on aimerait passer toute une vie. Le service est irréprochable, vous serez accueillis par Dolleen et Ian qui sont d'emblée très attentifs à vos demandes. Nous avons séjourné à la Bahari villa qui offre une sublime vue sur l'océan, ainsi qu'un accès "pieds dans le sable". L'établissement est intimisste, avec 4 villas et 4 chambres, très loin de l'ambiance club de vacances. La plage, bien que quelque peu rocailleuse, est réellement privée et vous n'y croiserez aucun passant ou touriste. Vous l'aurez rien que pour vous. Le restaurant offre des repas d'une très grande qualité. On vous proposera un menu pré-defini quotidiennement, mais vous ne serez jamais déçus. De belles découvertes culinaires vous attendent. Il y a un vrai lien qui se crée avec les membres du personnel qui sont absolument charmants et sincèrement bienveillants. On recommande sans aucune hésitation! Merci à Ian, Dolleen, Jumani, Rebecca et tous les autres.
