Simply could not have been better. One of the most stunning properties and one of the most beautiful place in the world. The stay was perfect. The staff welcomed us like family and it was genuine. They treated our kids like their own and the positivity and cheer was organic. It’s is a “family friendly”resort but what was notable was that it still had the feel and serenity of a luxury adults only experience. The kids club is one of the best curated spaces for kids I’ve seen and the family friendly pool is on the best beach with the best view. Even when we had our kids in the kids club and had time to ourselves we still preferred to be at that pool. The food is excellent and the breakfast experience is a delicious and filling way to start the day. The food variety is excellent. I can’t even explain how expertly baked the pastries were and was a great compliment to all the savory options. The whole experience was unreal and we can’t wait to come back, we have already started talking about how to plan to come back. Read less

Everything is great in this hotel - the design, the house reef, the food, the beds and pillows, the villas but what really makes this hotel unique is the service. We especially would like to say thank you to Bobin, Joy and Bob who made our stay special.

The food offering from the restaurants is amazing. Well cooked and very flavourful. The pool bar is so chilled and a great place to relax and watch the sunset before dinner. The diving is great and the staff in the dive shop extremely helpful and professional. We loved it so much we have already booked for 2025. So looking forward to it. Read less
