We were celebrating my birthday and decided to treat ourselves to stay in a beach villa for 5 nights and then a water villa for the last 5 nights. Both were wonderful in different ways. Great to be straight on the beach but the water villa was outstanding accommodation. The food at the water villa restaurant is more superior and 100% worth staying in the villas for that! Gorgeous food and a very attentive service. Special mention for Samuel our guest services manager and all the staff at the ‘better water villa restaurant’ in particular Ammar. The Italian restaurant was also outstanding food. Beautiful island, memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you to all the wonderful staff there. Read less

Stayed at this resort for our honeymoon Clean resort I have ever experienced. Our Island hist Amine was very hospitable and guided us throughout our stay. Amenities were bit pricey. The resort should think about restructuring the prices.
