“Everything! This resort is absolute paradise and its the epitome of barefoot luxury!”
Worth knowing: Nothing at all
The location itself is beautiful, and the idea behind the resort has so much potential. Unfortunately, the poor organiza

Worth knowing: We stayed at this resort because the photos and concept looked absolutely beautiful, and the island itself is stunning. However, I wish I had known a few things before making such a long journey. The biggest issue was comfort. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, and there are large numbers of mosquitoes and tiny biting insects everywhere. It wasn’t just in the room—they were around the dining area as well, often landing on the food while we were eating. Another major disappointment was the internet. There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms, and the Wi-Fi in the main restaurant barely works. If you need to work remotely, respond to emails, or stay connected for any reason, you should not rely on it. The dining experience was also frustrating. There is only one restaurant, the menu is quite limited, and if you don’t arrive at the scheduled meal times, some dishes may no longer be available, leaving you with very few choices. There is virtually no entertainment. After around 7:00 pm, the resort becomes very quiet, with nothing happening. During our stay there was only one evening event, but it was poorly organized, with insufficient seating for guests. Overall, communication and organization throughout the resort were disappointing. Staff frequently delivered the wrong meals, information was inconsistent, and we often felt confused because nobody clearly explained what was happening or what to expect. One thing future guests should know is that many activities advertised by the resort are not actually operated by the resort. They simply connect you with local providers. For example, if you book a tour or a diving trip, you may be expected to pay the local operator directly in local cash. This was never explained to us in advance, and we had assumed we would be able to pay the resort by credit card. That information should be communicated before guests book activities. The resort is also very expensive.
Loved our stay at the resort! We will return

“Fantastic resort and family friendly. The food was amazing!”
Worth knowing: Only minor - just needed some additional sun lounge chairs along the beach at front restaurant
Nice location with good snorkeling from the beach. The beachfront bungalow was ok

“The location , water , views and area fantastic”
Worth knowing: Nice location with good snorkelling from the beach. The beachfront bungalow was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The resort offers a simple island experience, so expect heat and humidity, especially without air conditioning. The first nights were uncomfortable for sleeping, though we adjusted. Food was average and limited especially breakfast not good, the Fish dishes were the best option if available , but vegetables, salads and other seafood choices were limited and not good, some dinner menu items were unavailable after running out. Staff helped with drink alternatives when basic drinks like soda water, tonic water and Coke Zero were not available. The accommodation requires maintenance and updates. Shower tiles and floor cracked, toilet loose, Ceiling fans very noisy. Equipment like kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling gear is old and worn, only a few were available to use. Overall, the natural setting and staff were the best parts, pricing (Meals , drinks and snacks), did not fully match the accommodation and facilities. At times, it felt more like a remote Airbnb than a full-service resort. We enjoyed the stay however will not return.
