It was a perfect trip. Kunar, the butler, was always the first to answer my questions and help me solve them in time. The restaurant on the island is very good. I like lobster spaghetti in Mediterranean restaurant best. Chef teppanyaki's performance is also very good!

It was pleasant and everyone was very kind. The helper was very sweet. It was difficult to communicate because I was not good at English, but he calmly waited and listened carefully. It was nice to experience various foods. It was nice to keep the room clean.
