I enjoyed the stay, especially Mandara Spa, I had four days massage in a row during my stay. Measure Prita was the best, I had Baliness massage, facial massage, as well as warm stone. Warm stone is my favourite. They also have couple massage which is worthy to try for all couples! Strongly recommended!

Shaleen - your efficient service and calm friendly table service was wonderful.

Arrived here in October. What an amazing welcome we had. Our trip from start to finish was unreal. Highly recommend the spa treatments. They are out of this world especially hot stone massage. Our room was a water bungalow it was kept immaculate and well stocked with drinks etc. We had a joint wedding ceremony and the staff went above and beyond to make this day one to remember for sure. Photographer was spot on she captured the day perfectly. A special shout out to Sampath he is one of a kind, a true gentleman. Not only did he do our ceremony, he looked after us throughout our stay. He is the best. My only little complaint with this resort the restaurant at times can be a bit hit and miss, there is always something to eat, but I just felt the food temperature could have been a bit hotter. Pizza made to order was exceptional and I loved the pasta station and salads. Dinner on the beach which we had twice one on our wedding day and the other we won from the crab racing. These were the best dinners for sure and the chef was great. Excursions are an absolute must- Swimming with the sharks, jet skis and seeing the turtles- just wow! Free snorkelling gear is given to you for free for your entire trip. Weather was great so hot came end of October for 10 days had a little rain but mainly at night. Crab racing was fun, singers were very talented. Karaoke was a laugh. Would highly recommend this island if your thinking about going just book u will not regret it Read less

The resort was fantastic from the moment we arrived. The service was great, Shiraz was our waiter always ready to bring us whatever we asked for. The barman and drinks were great! Sam especially! Our water bungalow was Devine, we say sting rays, sharks and many fish from our bungalow. Would highly recommend
