"Très bien"

Tout était parfait Accueil, service, personnels. Plage privée pour les résidents de l’hôtel

L’affluence des personnes qui viennent passer juste la journée. Mais heureusement qu’il y avait la plage privée pour les résidents

"Anyone looking to escape the city and want some island time, this is the perfect place to unwind"

10.0

Staff was super professional and sweet. Resort and Island we’re absolutely beautiful and serene. Even saw sharks

Little pricey but it was worth it. Lots of tourists visiting the island and they leave trash everywhere but this is not the resort’s fault

"White Lotus vibes in a beautiful island"

9.0

Great resort with everything you need. The villa was amazing, clean and cozy, with one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. The view from the terrace is unbelievable! They provide towels, beach towels, and flip-flops. The food is amazing, for breakfast you can choose between American and local, salty and sweet dishes, and there are different menus for lunch and dinner. The portions are large, you definitely won't get hungry here :D The staff is amazing, everyone is so friendly, and they take good care of you. You can rent snorkelling gear, there are lots of fish to explore in the sea.

Be aware of the sandflies, and use some minty creams or oils to prevent your legs from turning into a feasting table for them – just like ours did :D Unfortunately, on our last day, there were lots of jellyfish in the sea, so we couldn't go in, but that's not the resort's fault, obviously. Also not their fault, but the island can get pretty crowded between 9 AM and 4 PM, with swarms of dayboat tourists taking millions of photos everywhere. Luckily, the resort has a private beach, relatively separated from the tourists, so you can still enjoy some privacy.

"Eine ruhige Katastrophe"

3.0

Das Personal ist super freundlich. Zimmer sind ok.

Achtung es gibt kein Internet auf den Zimmern, nur im Empfangsbereich oder im Restaurant und schlechte Verbindung. 4 mal am Tag wird der Strom abgeschaltet. (Manchmal laenger als 5 Minuten. Der Strand ist bei entsprechendem Wind sehr dreckig, der nicht private Strand wird von Tagestouristen bevoelkert. Fruehstueck ist kein Buffet, wie geschrieben, sondern ein Set das man bestellen kann. Es gibt nur 6 sets zur Auswahl. Das Abendsessen aehnlich nach drei Tagen, hatten wir alles gegessen. Das Management ist unflexibel und nicht kundenorientiert. Der Gymbereich offen und hat kaum Geraete
