I stayed at Freddie's in July 2011 for about a week. The location really is incredible, with our room perched above a gorgeous beach that offered very nice opportunities for snorkeling, and I must assume it would also be a great place for dives if you get Yudi from Rubiah Tirta to deliver some tanks for you. waking up to...

We really enjoyed our stay at Freddie's. The food was fantastic with plenty of choice at breakfast and his 4 course evening buffet meal was delicious and everything was homemade on the premises, a real delight and we did not move out of the resort as we enjoyed it so much. The snorkelling was excellent and the equipment can be... More

Considering where Freddie's is and what he's accomplished, it's hard to praise this great place highly enough. Remember, Aceh Province suffered 30 years of insurrection and civil war, which ended only when a devastating tsunami caused hundreds of thousands of casualties. It was a remote backwater even for undeveloped Sumatra, with a very conservative Muslim population. A few short years... More

My partner and I loved staying here. Freddie, the eccentric, personable owner and cook, runs this place splendidly by balancing professionalism with amiable charm and hospitality. The bungalows are well-kept, simple rooms with spectacular views over the beach and hammocks to lie in on the front-facing porches, giving you the feel of "getting away from it all" without sacrificing much...

Freddie's is on a pristine strip of beach, with nicely shaded chalets and cabins, serviced by a great restaurant right next to it. If you choose the buffet dinners, you will not be disappointed because Freddie cooks a wide range of Western-orientated dishes according to guests' tastes and home fare. The 4 nights we were there, he cooked special for... More

My husband and I just spent 4 nights at Freddie's and enjoyed every moment of it. I am really quite saddened by some of the more recent reviews. If travelers want 5-star resorts, they should stay on Bali. It's true that you can hear the morning call to prayer and, depending on which bungalow you're in, some squawking roosters, but... More

We really enjoyed staying here. Their service is great and they make sure everything is comforatble. They even arrange a free (45 min) transfer to the diving school. More

Huts are beautifully located on the hillside just off/above the beach but they are BASIC. Hot water shower (good!) and a strong fan are in the room. Mosque starts sing-praying at 5 AM clearly audible in your hut and roosters walking under and around your hut start their morning yells at 3 AM...not a joke.We stayed 2 nights at Freddies... More
