We have just spent 2 weeks between the 11th November to 24th November. We were on the Platinum Island which was amazing. The Beach Villa was fantastic inside and outside on the terrace. We were on the Sunset Side and we had some beautiful sunsets to see. Our cleaners Ali Niyaz and Sirej kept our room spotless and was lovely talking to both and finding our more information about the island and the ones close by. Thanks also for the anniversary and birthday wishes you left by using leaves and petals. In the restaurant, then thanks to Kelum the Chef and the other chefs who served us delicious food and really looked after everyone and were dedicated in providing wonderful dishes throughout the stay. Our waiter Nizaah, he was helpful, attentive, and always smiling. He was really friendly, and his manners were impeccable. The bar on the island was lovely and Nadana the barman was great, putting together different cocktails from the menu or just serving up a cold beer. We had some nice entertainment in the evening but was low key and just what we wanted. We plan to come back to this Island and will plan to stay again on the Platinum Island. Read less

Absolutely amazing resort. We decided while we there that we will go back every few years. The water villa was beautiful with an incredible view. It included everything we needed and the friendly staff were happy to help with anything else. We particularly enjoyed snorkeling from outside our villa and saw plenty of marine life, from tiny fish to much bigger creatures. Be brave and swim a bit further out, you won't regret it. Just ve mindful of the strong currents at times and don't touch the coral. The restaurant was fantastic and the food was delicious. There were different options every meal time and so much choice. Special thanks to our waiter Saleem, who was courteous and thoughtful. He remembered our preferred drinks from the second day and kindly moved us to a table with an even better view as soon as one was available. We went on a few of the snorkeling excursions and my husband did a couple of scuba dives with the dive centre. The staff there were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure we saw everything the reefs had to offer. Plus they take fantastic videos if you have a waterproof camera. Thanks especially to Ashraf and Ahmed. We only visited the pool a few times because we were there for snorkeling, but it has lovely views over the beach and lagoon and you can swim up to the bar. We only have one suggestion for improvement. As non-drinkers we would have appreciated a wider range of mocktails, as there were only 3 included in the standard all inclusive package. This has become one of our favourite places on earth and we can't wait to come back. Read less

We had a water bugalow and the view was immense. We thought we may get bored after a while as we stayed for 2 weeks, but could have stayed another week! There was some light entertainment as well and Trevin and Debbie were fantastic and great fun. Can't wait to return!! Read less
