As soon as you come in to land to arrive at the resort via seaplane, you are welcomed by staff, waving their hello in their costume. They have drummers and the ladies adorn you with a welcome necklace, handmade from palm tree. Our host gave a well informed resort guided tour. Our Ocean Villa was amazing - fantastic view and lovely layout 👌🏾. We did have some initial issues with some of the food, which for me would have initially made my rating a 4 star, however, the way in which management responded to our feedback rendered this a 5 star experience. For me, it’s not just about your presentation, it’s about customer service, which this hotel has in bucket loads. All staff - house keeping, dining, bar staff, gardeners, masseurs, absolutely fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾🥰. Special shout out has to go to Sureiya - head chef and Luban - restaurant manager as they received our comments in a very respectful way and responded immediately to rectify, for which we are forever grateful 🙏🏾 Would I go again? YES, in a heartbeat!! If you are looking for a totally chilled experience, where you have the option of activities, which are not forced on you, this is the place to go. Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone for this beautiful experience. I do hope to visit again!🌴😎🙏🏾🥰❤️ Read less

Met Mehri at the sports centre and dhoni making centre. She’s a dedicated and cheerful staff who make our day more entertaining. She goes the extra mile to teach us how to color our boat and play snooker. She enjoyed her job and would like to leave her a very good review. Cheers and thumbs up!
