Dear Maya and Raja4Divers-Team
Thank you for everything, this was an amazing very unique adventure. Our time here is about to end and we just don't want to leave this little paradise on earth... and we would love to return someday <3<3<3
We loved each minute of our Pef adventure: the excitement of each dive, the peace at the resort, the sounds of nature, the delicious meals (and the care for my diet - aka Maria), the smiles, the birthday celebrations, the little flowers on our beds, the welcoming words in our front door, the kindness and the attention to every detail.
Many thanks again for having contributed to one of our happiest life times.
Love, Maria and Fabio

Estimada y nunca bien ponderada Maya y el equipo de Raja4Divers
No sabíamos como expresar nuestra sorpresa cuando llegamos a este pequeño paraíso, no solamente el paisaje es sobrecogedor sino también la gente que como ustedes hace que este lugar sea acogedor. Estamos muy agradecidos de haber recibido todas las atenciones y su ayuda durante nuestra estadía. Personalmente fue la primera vez para mí en muchos aspectos: aquí hice mi primer buceo nocturno, aprendí a usar la boya sin contar la cantidad de especies que vi por primera vez. Puedo decir lo mismo de mi esposa, que disfrutó mucho de todas las actividades del sitio. Lo más probable es que volvamos a Raja4Divers de nuevo. Mientras tanto muchas gracias por todo y un gran abrazo.
Fabio

Elfi & Verena - Switzerland

Schön, schöner am Schönsten. Wir haben die Zeit bei euch in vollen Zügen genossen.
Das wundervoll der Natur angepasste Resort, die Herzlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft des gesamten Inselteams, die tollen Tauchplätze usw. - einfach umwerfend.
Euer Motto: «Komme als Gast, fühl dich wie ein König, gehe als Freund» trifft exakt ins Schwarze.
Wir sehen uns wieder in 11 Monaten. Und da Elfi von Silas wieder gefunden wurde, ist sie auch wieder dabei.
Vielen, vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft.
Verena und «Mami» Elfi
