What can I say, this hotel is beautiful! Rooms (well little villas really) had their own bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, the restaurant served great food and the breakfast had a wide choice of well cooked food. The lagoon is beautiful. I wished...

4 night stay away

I stayed a total of 4 nights here as a couples getaway and it was nothing short of incredible. Being on it's own private island makes you feel so separate from the rest of the world, giving it a peaceful and relaxing vibe the whole time. Even though it's a...

Paradise, be prepared to be shocked by the view!

This place exceeded our expectations – the water views were absolutely stunning, with the vibrant color of the water just as beautiful as the pictures. We stayed in the standard Beach Bungalow, which was closer to the water and felt much more private than some of the premium lagoon-view options....

Amazing staff/views/ food etc

We stayed here for 3 days. We had 2 days of gorgeous weather and 1 day of torrential rain. The hotel was beautiful. On a private island with a little boat that runs all day from 7am to 10pm everyday. The views as spectacular. Our room was stunning, we had...

Simply the best !

Simply stunning! All bungalows are generously sized. Loved bikes, reef shoes were super handy, and kayaks for each room. Needs shade over the decking area of each bungalow, was way too hot. Staff were wonderful shout out to Nocy for being so attentive. 🏝️I do recommend booking tours directly though....

Quiet island

Lovely atmosphere and tropical views. All bungalows are provided with push bikes, kayaks and SUP. The staff are all very welcoming and helpful. We loved the option to paddle around the island and over to a nearby island which provided us with a special experience.


Pretty, relaxed stay.

Had a great time here. Weather constantly quite hot so needed sunblock and rash shirts. Kayaked around the island and to the next island for lunch. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Luke! Relaxed vibe at the resort and food was great.


An incredible resort and fabulous experience. Beyond beautiful.

This resort is incredible~the location is unique in that it is on its own little island. It has a small ferry that operates all day so if you want to go across to the ‘main island’ you can go any time. We stayed in the Premium Bungalows and had the...

Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend this place. Only downside is outdoor shower, it needs some sort of privacy. Bed was absolutely amazing. Rooms are probably due for an update soon but it was so lovely and relaxing there. Staff could not do enough for you. Highly recommend this place for those...

outdated and overrated

They claim to be a 5 ***** luxury resort. More accurate would be to afford them quite a bit less. A place of „Past Glory“ would probably more accurately describe this resort. Much of the compound, especially the lodging units, is in pretty bad disrepair. This said, the overall experience...

It’s a very rewarding experience here.

This resort is 5 star, with more than the comforts of home. Staff are the most welcoming of any resort. The food is right up there for choice and quality, despite being miles from the big cities. The best part is the location surrounded by lagoon and reefs. Completely safe...

I booked a reservation last November for late April 2025 but need to cancel it due to a medical issue. It's over a month away so I can cancel but I've sent numerous emails and messages on their site requesting to cancel without a response from them. The international phone...
