Travelled end of April beginning of May, thought we weren’t going to make it as our flights through Dubai were cancelled two days before departure,rebooked through Doha, Island is small but perfect for our needs,basic but functional rooms,plenty of greenery to give shade when needed,we like full sun and after a week changed from room 236 to 260, too hot from 1-3pm but siesta time, then back out till sunset and later dinner, Food in restaurant was good,puddings were delicious,special thanks to waiters Ryan,Opu and Annais who looked after us very well. Drinks in the bar are adequate on included AI, On snorkelling found the reef to be bleached but plenty of fish with occasional turtles ,black tips and eagle ray,and easy going all the way round the island. Had a couple of issues with the rooms which were sorted quickly thanks to Moomin, Anna and I think from his spelling Movind, All the staff are welcoming and help if and when required. This island is Basic ,there’s not that many left now. For what you pay ,we couldn’t fault it

We were absolutely delighted with the resort & in particular the staff who are extremely polite, attentive, friendly & cannot do enough for you. The snorkelling off the beaches is amazing with so many different & plentiful species. We saw turtles & a pod of dolphins as well as the fish, sharks & corals. We couldn’t understand some of the other reviews criticising the food on offer. We found it both extremely tasty & plenty of variety. We want to give particular praise & thanks to our waiter Ryan who was brilliant & also the gentleman on the omelette / cook to order station. We are already planning our return trip & cannot wait to go back. We also met some lovely fellow travellers during our stay.

If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a very chilled relaxing break, then this is definitely the place for you. From arrival to departure, all of the staff go out of your way to make your holiday special. Food in the restaurant is excellent. Snorkelling on the house reef is fantastic, along with the organised trips through the excellent dive centre. I would highly recommend this hotel.

“Snorkel extravaganza”

This is an amazing place. Most reviews I read before going, are reality. It isn't 5* but for the price point wasn't expecting it. The island is small, I swam round it, 10 mins to walk around.

This is an amazing place. Most reviews I read before going, are reality. It isn't 5* but for the price point wasn't expecting it. The island is small, I swam round it, 10 mins to walk around. But the house reef is unbelievable, don't go without an underwater camera. The rooms are nice, maybe a bit of tlc needed but as the bathroom is open to the elements, it is going to get tired quickly. But it's clean and if you have an issue is sorted straight away. The staff are very friendly and the food is plentiful. We booked the platinum AI, so had a lot of extras, laundry service, fridge in our room with daily top ups, sunset fishing cruise, dolphin sunset cruise, 1 a la carte meal, 1 bottle of bubble and premium drinks. We did book it originally as we thought you needed it to use the turtle beach bar, but that is now inc in all AI packages. Would definitely go again but be prepared to do nothing but snorkel, relax and eat x it is what holidays are for.
