The food is also good. They have so many Indian and sea foods. They set up a proposal ceremony for me and it went well. Another down side is, you will miss that place after you spend a week. It's so easy to feel part of the community and hard to leave. Enjoy!

Rats? No, I never saw any. It's an island, so I find it hard to believe as the only way they could get there would be by boat and the only way to get there is by plane, which doesn't even come ashore. As far as the A/C, I will admit it was not as cold as I would have liked. During the day especially, at night it was fine, but again, not as cold as I would have liked. Kandima really is a wonderful place, so much to do and it's nice how large the island is, unlike so many others. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike
