12/10/2012	Standard Location Value	We unfortuantely had only 2 nights to stay with Ambong at Malaflaf. We were the only visitors, but the bungalows can accomodate 8 (two one-room bungalows, one two-room bungalow). We paid only 3000Vt/night for the two of us, with meals, which were delicious. The bungalows are on kastom land of Ambong's, so have access to a 'private' bay and reef. Snorkelling is excellent. Ambong was a wonderful host. The island is fantastic - people warm and friendly, and keen to develop their tourism industry. Plenty to do - or a place to relax in a hammock and read by the sea.
