"The value you get for your money when you stay at Dhamana Beach is unmatched in every sense of the way. You obviously should not expect a five star experience on this budget but what you get when you choose Dhamana is actually far more than we expected in this price range. The value is incredible. Especially the crew make this place what it is. They stopped at nothing to make sure we had the best stay possible and even agreed to customize one of their excursions quite a lot to make sure it...
