The Charms of Charm Churee
We had a great time staying at Charm Churee - the staff were fantastic - very helpful, friendly and efficient with helping us to organise trips and transport. The room was good with a lovely view out to Jansom Bay, and we enjoyed the food and the service from lovely waiters that we had at breakfast and dinner there. We loved our pineapple and coconut lassi drinks on the beach. The sun loungers that are set up down on the beach are fabulous - but you have to be in quick to get them! At the Padi dive school there, I did a dive with Andy, and he was a fantastic instructor and made me feel comfortable.Thanks Andy. We both made use of the Charm Churee Spa treatments and they were wonderfully relaxing and a real treat. The ladies did an awesome job. Thanks.Overall a wonderful time was had at Charm Churee Villas.
Three things I will mention however, are 1) you are not allowed to wear fins in Jansom Bay when snorkelling, and while this is a good thing for the marine environment, it was a bit disappointing for us as keen snorkellers,
2)Charm Churee is set on steep hills and you need to negotiate many steps every time you want to go anywhere within the resort. If you don't enjoy hill work,this is not the place for you,
3)It wasn't as peaceful as we thought it might be - loud music playing at night, and noisy longtail tourist boats during the day that have engines that sound like lawn mowers.
