"The island is amazing. The staff are very friendly, especially Jahid, Saif and Sam. The team at the dive centre is fun and knowledgeable. Food options are good. Drinks options are great. Can’t complain about a thing. Will definitely be back."

"Good perfect stay "

"The place is absolutely amazing, a true paradise built from the sand! Many thanks to Vijay for taking care of us throughout the journey, ensuring the beddings were clean and the fridge was full. Big thanks also to the doctor for his kind support, as we sun-burnt our legs just before arriving to the island. This was a true 5 star experience, the only improvement feedback I'd like to point out is that the cold drinks should be colder, but you can always ask for more ice."

"nice"

"Amazing. We were back for our 5 year wedding anniversary. They have numerous activities, from which we've enjoyed the most the soft sports ones. They have great parties, and the jungle one was our favorite, and their staff have great shows and the entertainment manager together with his wife are some real acrobats. The food variety is great and the desserts are a challenge to keep your weight in check. The staff from restaurant & bar are friendly and always ready to refill your drinks, you cannot drink as fast as they come for a refill. It was also nice to see the GM involved in some activities and taking time to meet his guests. As sad part, the transfer prices I would say. I don't know if the resort has any input regarding them, but the seaplane transfer for 2 person is as much as 3 full days on the island, which is painful. Also, sometimes you can feel like an outsider, because most of their tourists are speaking German, so the parties and during the day, some of the staff start talking in German and then switch to English when they see your confusion.
