What can I say about Kurumba except wow !!!
From the moment you arrive at the airport, you are then whisked away by speedboat to Kurumba itself. You are then immediately greeted by all the reception staff who like all the staff on Kurumba go above and beyond to ensure your stay is nothing less than 5 star all the way. The dine around plan at Kurumba is a must, as all of the many restaurants serve so many mouthwatering dishes to mention. Also if you just want a nice relaxing drink all of the bars offer superb service as well as tasty cocktails and drinks throughout the day and nighttime
So to summarize, if you want a holiday on a beautiful island and memory's that leave you wanting to go back again and again Kurumba is the place for you.
Many thanks again to all at Kurumba and we hope to see you all very soon you made my birthday and 25th wedding anniversary out off this world !!
