"Honestly, Oualie is not the most posh, most modern resort. It's even rather rundown. The accommodations are simple, humble and can do with some work but the sheets are clean (if you get where I'm coming from), the food is nice and staff are available, neighbourly and they work hard.
What Oualie has is that natural tucked away, untouched, unspoilt beauty. The beach, the trees, the family of feisty monkeys chasing away a dog, the cat that respectfully greets you at dinner then goes back to his chair outside, the cow that nonchalantly sits in the shade. You have all the feels once you're on your porch or in one of the half dozen or so hammocks on the property. You are the sunset, couples walking along the beach. You feel for the first time, in a long time, that everything's going to work out and you're going to make it. The peace is what makes you figure out things that our harried lives make it so hard to fully understand. The sleep is like the sleep you used to have as a young child. Oualie makes you forget - yet remember all that you need to.
I came here as a part of a series of surprises I secretly cooked up for my husband's birthday week. Our stay at Oualie was a part of my gift for him but what I didn't expect was that it would be so much of a gift for me.
Oualie.🙌"
