A beautiful island of paradise that just falls short of full 5 out of 5. Really it s 4.5 stars but people should be aware it s a 5 star
Resort in the middle of the Indian Ocean, you won t have everything like a 5 star hotel in a major city.

Went to this resort for my honeymoon during the COVID-19 restrictions; so our experience isn t the resort at full swing. Initially one restaurant was open, but another opened on the island. Stayed for just shy of 2 weeks all inclusive, which was just right; not too short or long.

Good:
-Amazing friendly staff
-Beautiful resort; beaches, rooms and reef
-Great for honeymooners
-No need for a domestic flight or small water aircraft - arrive via a boat
- Food, although we went for the buffet, there was a lot of choice. It did get a little repetitive, but made up massively for the Christmas spread!
- check in process was a breeze; there wasn t one for us as we were taken straight to the room
-felt secure with both staff and guests regarding Covid restrictions
- reefs (albeit mostly dead), we were lucky to see turtles, sharks and a sting right outside our water Vila.

Bad:
- Getting information for late checkout and timings for a boat back to mainland. It took three days of chasing to confirm this; it really shouldn t have.
- Our host/butler was amazing, but was hard to get a hold off as he was really busy with other guests.
-Escalating issues to the manager was hard

Improvements:
- Better internet/WiFi. The speed is just shy to stream anything in decent quality and drop out issues can be annoying
- Another beer on tap. Something better than Carlsberg :)
- better access to the manager
- a way to update guests with events/films/fumigation with timings. An electronic portal in each room or even a daily letter/pamphlet?
