The force of the tsunami wave was broken by the reef in front of the villa and we got the spill over.  No one was hurt at South Point Villas. A Part of the village was saved as  the Villa took the force of the water. The water caused damage to the furniture, but it did not reached the tops of the vanity counters, even the ceramic shampoo bottles remained intact.

That very same day we together with our staff started  cleaning  the villa and by the 1st of March 2005 the villa was back to being operational.
