Also, the experience would not be the same without the excellent resort staff whom we came across and help made our stay so wonderful. To mention a few. Mira our curator, service staff - Kristin, He Run, Alina, Min Soe, Joy, Chef Janaz, Cafe UMI Team and Mohamad from the Marine Centre who took us on the adventure to find the Manta which we so badly wanted to see! IHG has not failed to meet our expectations and we highly recommend Intercon for an experience and dream vacation of a lifetime! Read less

Our experience was perfect, actually perfect would be an understatement. To start the hotel facilities are a dream, it’s like you reached heaven, the food we couldn’t have asked for better, breakfast was DIVINE. The dishes are well served. My kids were super busy doing the endless water activities that the resort offers. The room was stunning. A special thank you goes to Ms Omy, she made everything more than perfect. The whole staff team was brilliant. (Thank you to Mr Goyani so attentive every breakfast and Mr Aslam for being wonderful with my kids during diving and snorkeling with the manta). And I encourage everyone to go to the spa and experiment sound therapy with Mr Brij. The massage was out of this world, we even were lucky enough to see dolphins jumping while we were getting our massages. I can’t wait to return here. Thank you Viviane (Brazil/thailand) Read less
