The service is really considerate. The staff on the island greet people politely, and the butler responds promptly. The scenery is quite beautiful, and the food tastes good too. In the specialty restaurant, the waiting time for dishes is too long. The offshore activities are just so - so.

As soon as we arrived at the resort we were blown away by the quick checking in, cold flannel and a glass of bubbly not to mention the greeting with drums when you get off the seaplane. We had a quick tour with our host Yaemesh who was great. Villa We had the over water villa with a plunge pool (221) which was beautiful and had lovely views. Very clean and beautifully designed. Our cleaner was great and so polite. Each day the mini bar is restocked with wine, beer and soft drinks. Restaurants All were lovely. Staff friendly the views from ampersand were amazing. Food was even lovely in the buffet which is not normally the case in other places we have stayed at. The only downside was that the wi fi was very slow and my husband drinks vodka rather than beer and reception said that they wouldn't supply it to the room and he would have to pay extra. Read less
