“Amazing and full of peace”
Because of its close proximity to the airport, it was extremely convenient for us after our long flight. It took very little time to leave the airport, arrive at the hotel, and settle into our room. Even though it was still before the official check-in time, our room was already ready for us. The size of the island, the number of restaurants, and all the facilities were excellent. Normally, food quality is one of the biggest issues at hotels, but for the first time, even though it was a buffet, we truly enjoyed every meal every single day. It was an amazing vacation for us.

“A extraordinary memory which will not fade.”
Position of the villa. Beautiful garden area surround the property. The kids’ club is fantastic and staffs of the club are taking good care of the children with love and care. They are engaging children in art and craft activities. We also appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the staffs of the gallery restaurant. Special thanks to Nasik who always looking after us during meal time and he also prepared good dosa and other tasty chicken dishes.

“We loved this place and will be happy to come back.”
A lot of plants, trees, and flowers everywhere! The island is incredibly green. The water and the beach are perfect—just like in the photos :) We loved this place. In the full-board package, drinks such as water, coffee, juices and tea are available during meals. There is also always plenty of fresh water in the room — 4 liters in bottles, replenished daily. We really liked the food: it’s very healthy, with lots of salads, fruits, and vegetables. No pork; only beef, chicken, and fish. Entertainment could be a bit better, but we mainly came to enjoy nature — and it’s absolutely perfect here.

“Good Memorable Vacation to Enjoy Beach, Private Pool, Spacious Rooms, swiming with sharks.”
The location is quite amazing, they charged $275 for a two-way boat transfer for 2 adults and 1 kid. Very near to airport so you don't have to worry about transfer timing, spacious rooms, big island with too much to walk and explore, friendly staffs to assist.

“A beautiful island with varied beaches, great snorkeling and an amazing pool.”
Amazing island: large enough to offer multiple beaches and views all with slightly different aspects and feel, but small enough to walk around bit by bit throughout the day. The pool was just incredible! Beautiful setting with a great swim up bar and deceptively large size. The whole island felt calm and quiet; no fighting for sun loungers either at the pool or beach, so seemingly plenty of room for everyone. There was also plenty of natural shade throughout the island and on the beaches. The whole place was spotless and very well maintained. Snorkeling was fabulous especially out by the drop / Bandos Rock. We saw sharks, crabs, endless beautiful fish and even a turtle! The all inclusive package was good value. Free local spirits, draught beer and house wine. All of which was perfectly drinkable (or quickly became so...)! The staff were all super friendly and helpful (with only one exception but I think he was just having a bad day!). It happened to be my birthday whilst there and the staff organised a special table with some decorations at dinner and a birthday cake without any fanfare or fuss. It was a lovely thought. Special thanks go to Ravi at the Gallery Restaurant who was great throughout the week. Oh - and the food was fresh, varied and very tasty! Other bits: 15 minute boat transfer was quick and easy; we arrived a few hrs early but room was given to us almost straightaway without any fuss or extra charge; the standard beachfront rooms are pretty good, large with a decent shower and all within 10-20 metres of the beach, although they are on the opposite side of the island to the main restaurant and evening entertainment (about a 400m walk).
