Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The resort’s commitment to sustainability impressed us. It is thoughtfully embedded everywhere, from design to daily practices. Waking up to stunning ocean views each morning set the tone perfectly. Though my mother couldn’t join sports or snorkeling, she never felt bored. The spa was deeply relaxing, and the Marine Lab lecture felt both educational and special. What truly stood out was the staff’s kindness: Sama, Ranjit, Aiman, Lynn, Fatima, Jin. Every interaction made the trip truly special for us.

Outstanding service personnel so kind and dedicated Great food in the restaurant and for dining experience. We had the floating breakfast and romantic dinner by the beach on ad-hoc setup with food cooked for us exclusively. Fabulous! Excellent service at the diving center with Yameen who took video for us while snorkeling. Outstanding! had a Deep tissue massage at the spa, wonderful experience, location, setup, attention to details and massage technique, all was really good.

超級棒的度假酒店！雖然卧室房間有點小，衞生間在半室外，螞蟻有點多，但其他都很完美！泳池邊配有熱水池，spa很棒！三個餐廳食物都很豐富和美味！浮潛低於預期，活珊瑚不多，魚不多，海浪有點大。沙灘很白很細很美！
