Lovely resort with amazing views from the water villas, and a lovely sand beach with easy access to the sea. The island is fairly small and well maintained with lots of greenery. Only there one night to visit a friend and Pradeep the Front Office Manager couldn’t have been more helpful in organising everything and even upgraded me to a water villa to be closer to her. One night was definitely not long enough to appreciate everything. The room which was very spacious with lots of storage space and a wonderful uninterrupted view of the sea, although it lacked hanging space to dry wet swimsuits and towels, so need to use balcony chairs, luckily it wasn’t windy! Also beware, some of the balconies have no privacy and most of the plug sockets are Sri Lankan, so if you have a lot of electrical devices you will need to ask reception for adaptors. The water villas are close to the edge of the house reef, my friend said there was an abundance of sea life, both inside the water villa lagoon and on the reef, although I didn’t get chance to experience. There is really only 1 restaurant, however it is spacious, and the food choice is plentiful, catering for all tastes. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and attentive, especially Chef Chaio, who knows everyone by name. Rasitha does a great job of keeping everything topped up and the wait staff of Nabeel and Shamveel ensured our glasses were topped up and plates removed with seamless efficiency. The pool and bar area is again spacious, with great staff and is a wonderful place to relax and chat over cocktails. The standard all-inclusive is limited, although perfectly adequate in the bar and restaurant. Some nice cocktails, the usual spirits, and perfectly drinkable wine. However, the mini bar is a different story as you get soft drinks and beer only, so if you want to chill on your balcony with a glass of wine or a G&T then forget it unless you pay extra from room service.
