We visited Vakkaru as our honeymoon trip and it was a perfect choice. The room condition was excellent, the staffs were all so warm and welcoming. My husband was sick at the very first day and the staffs were very considerate. There is a doctor so if you require assistance, you can see him any time. Especially Suzanne, Gie, Ahoo and many other staffs were welcoming and kind. I will recommend this place to all my friends and families close to me. Anyone who is looking for good food, lagoon, activities, privacy this will be a perfect place to stay. And anyone considering to visit, please try out the Manta tour. We saw a whole pack of Mantas and it was an incredible experience for us to memorize. Read less
