"Wspaniały"

10.0

Wspaniały resort położony wśród bujnej roślinności, utrzymany bardzo naturalnie, bez asfaltu. Przestronne bungalowy oddzielone od siebie pasem zieleni, co zapewnia dużą prywatność. Bardzo czysto, sprzątanie odbywa się dwa razy dziennie. Codziennie uzupełniana jest woda oraz kawa/herbata. Przemiła obsługa, zarówno jeśli chodzi o pracowników recepcji, kelnerki jak i kierowców meleksów. Na miejscu dostępny jest również lekarz. Śniadania i kolacje bardzo smaczne i różnorodne, duży wybór potraw, nie sposób wszystkiego spróbować :) Na miejscu można skorzystać z darmowej siłowni, kortu tenisowego, na cały pobyt można również wypożyczyć rowery. Na terenie resortu znajduje się kilka barów, w których można posłuchać muzyki na żywo, pograć w bilard lub ping ponga. Szczególnie polecam wille od strony zachodzącego słońca. Plaża tutaj jest piaszczysta a woda pięknie błękitna. Z pewnością wybrałabym się w to miejsce ponownie :)

"Glück mit dem Wetter"

7.0

Das Essen war sehr reichhaltig und lecker. Strand geht so. Tauchschule nicht einladen…

Dass nicht klar ersichtlich war, wie lange die Wege sind . Ein gigantischer Campingplatz, einfach mit grossen Häuser..

"Loved the resort and will go back again."

9.0

The setting was great with close proximity to everything you could need/want, including a buggy service to take you from your room to wherever you wanted to go. The buffet had so many options, you'd find it hard not to find something to eat. Staff were all lovely.

The bed was extremely hard. However, when we mentioned this to the cleaner, he found some cushion tops for the mattresses. The other 'picky' negative would be the size of the resort. The island is 4km in length and the resort fills the whole island. That's a lot of space to get around. I say I'm being picky here as there are transport options from bikes to buggy's, but it is a big resort.

The sunset villa and the privacy it provided. The convenience of the restaurant nearby, and the helpfulness of the staff.

That fact that the restaurant nearby was completely shut at the end of the stay. The bikes were uncomfortable even though they were completely free of charge. The last two days we had to wait lots of time waiting for the buggies because the restaurant nearby was closed and everyone had to go to the opposite side of the island which was quite far from our villa.

"Excellent place for relaxing after your diving on other islands :)"

10.0

The place itself is huge, and you get bicycles to get around. To the south, you have a beautiful beach with sand and corals, very easy for swimming and spotting marine life. We mostly spend our mornings at the pier next to the Bar Kuda (yep, that’s the bar name). The pier has big umbrellas and seems the best spot to enjoy the view, next to the water but not in the sand. The all-inclusive breakfast is very good. However, the lunch and dinner buffet can become repetitive, but you can also order something in the other restaurants and bars. We tried reef fish and fried chicken, and it was pretty good. The alcohol situation (included with the all-inclusive package): they have 4 selected cocktails, which, in my opinion, were ok but too sweet, plus red and white wine and beer. Of all those, we stuck with the white wine (the one from Dohra bar seems the best one). Of course, you can order other classic cocktails. Pro tip: tip the staff for stronger drinks ;) Then, in the evenings, our favourite routine was the Dohra bar next to the pool; you can spend the whole evening there and then go to the buffet for dinner. Also, I want to highlight the excellent service provided by the friendly staff.

The beds are very stiff.

Fabulous resort with everything we needed. Villa directly on the beach and beautiful to watch the sunset. They give you bikes to cycle around the island which we loved but understand that this wouldn't suit everyone. You do also have the option of a golf buggy that you can call directly from your room or any of the restaurants and it usually arrives within a couple minutes. Would 100% stay here again
