We went to the island for a 4d/3n trip. Had a superior beach bungalow for 2n and water villa for last night. Weather was nice and warm all through out. Since it's a private island there are no local market or shops to check out. Or for that matter any local restaurant. Everything is planned according to tourist needs here. At the airport after landing we reported to counter 27 where they asked us to wait for other tourists to arrive. After approx 30min we moved towards the speed boat which is right outside of the airport. That is when slowly you start to realise that your trip has started. These boats travel quite fast on water but we didn't feel any sea sickness. You know that you are near the island when you see the jetti and the beautiful beach. Took around 30mins for us to reach the island from airport. We were asked to move towards the resort and our luggage would be taken care of. After reaching reception you have to fill up a form and they will let you know your room number. In our case we reached the resort around 10am and rooms were available from 1:30pm. So we went to the bar for some snacks and coffee. Coffee was not charged as we were waiting for rooms. We went for a short walk around the beach to kill time. At 1pm we were at reception again and we got the room keys. We were allotted the last beach bungalow on the west side of the island. They took us and our bags on a battery operated golf cart(club car). The rooms were clean. Best thing was the beach just outside the rear door. As we had booked a honeymoon package we were expecting some kind of a surprise but we were disappointed. So we called our tour agent and he suggested us to remind reception. We were asked to prove our wedding date. I was lucky that we were carrying copies of marriage certificate. We were told that a white wine bottle and cake will be arranged after 7pm which did happen but instead of cake we were provided with a basket of fruits. After spending the afternoon playing in the water we decided to go out and see the sunset. Then we headed for the buffet dinner at bagicha restaurant at 7:30pm. While waiting for dinner buffet to start we went to see the sting ray feeding. To our surprise for every guest a table is reserved. The variety and quality is superb. Post dinner we walked on the beach to reach our bungalow. Next day morning we decided to see the sunrise but it was not so easy to find the way to get to the east side of the island. Later we went around the island and got a hang of things.
Things to carry:
1) Snacks to munch otherwise you will unnecessarily spend. Remember it's a private island and nothing's cheap
2) Good sunscreen lotion
3) Swimming gear ( suit, glass, cap...)
4) beach wear ( shorts, tees)
5) sunglasses
6) hat/cap
7) scuba gear. Although not mandatory but can come handy if you are not good at holding breath under water
8) sleepers
9) good camera
10) antiseptic cream

Things to be careful:
1) At check out do check your bill twice. We saw multiple guests very unhappy about mini bar stuff added in their bill when they hadn't taken anything. Happened to us as well. After complaining they asked us to wait and later accepted the mistake.
