"lovely place , lovely staff, somewhat overpriced"

9.0

beautiful site, room lovely, housekeeping staff and restaurant staff were wonderful. Beach small but interesting tidal pools. Having the marine biologist tours and lectures was fun.

Reception staff were unpleasant , not welcoming nor helpful, bordering on surly, misled us about availability of uber for transport (yes you can order uber for half the cost of hotel transfer to airport ) For what the daily rate was , non-alcoholic drinks should have been included , annoying. Dinner was passable , breakfast was great.

"Chale´t lihtsalt peab külastama!"

10.0

Peatusime perega sellel privaatsel saarel. Tõeline paradiis, rahu ja vaikus. Privaatsed rannad ja hotelli suur territoorium, mitu basseini ja toidukohad. Kõik oli lihtsalt super. Muidugi peab arvestama sellega, et kui tahad restoranis jooke nautida siis kõik on päris kõrge hinnaga, samuti toidud. Kui sul on võetud pakett koos hommiku ja õhtusöögiga siis ei ole probleeme ja toit on suurepärane. Tegevust on ka erinevat, kanuud, paadid ja teised seiklused on võimalikud, palju üritusi on juba hinna sisse arvutatud, välja arvatud snorkeling. Soovitan seda kogemust, super asukoht ja imeilus korallsaar. Üks asi veel, siin piirkonnas peate kõik arvestama sellega, et on tõusud ja mõõnad, seega hommikul kell 11:00- 17:00 ei ole ookeanis vett:), tõsiselt!!

kõik meeldis.

"Great experience worth the price"

10.0

It is a true secluded paradise away from the hustle and bustle of Diani Beach. The premises were fantastic, as was the staff and the food. Coming from a country with no tipping culture we really appreciated it that we didn't have to tip all the time but just enjoy and tip everything in the end. We also very much liked the different activities available which were all nice and well organized.

A very minor thing: Having already checked out and showering in the separate premises meant for checked-out guests (we spent the afternoon in the premises as our flight was late in the evening), I asked for a hair dryer. After waiting for 15-20 minutes I gave up. It is no big thing but addressing promptly these kind of guest requests would be expected from a place that costs 500+ USD per night.

"Magical, breathtaking and a complete breath of fresh air."

10.0

I loved the serene and friendly vibe felt across the resort. The ample choice of swimming pools, activities and bars to drink in provided plenty of options. The staff were also wonderful, helpful and always with a smile on their faces.

More choices food wise - for example it would have been great if the Italian restaurant was also open at lunch time and if the sushi restaurant was open in the evening…
