Simply can not fault this destination. Rooms are spectacular and are serviced twice daily. I love the turn down service at night. Food and drinks are fabulous, great variety, mini bar is free, all the food is free, the main bar is free. There were a few extra dinners like the lobster night which we paid extra for but it was so worth it. The staff are just beautiful. Rada, & Nisha in the main restaurant was funny, engaging, and just great. Sayan in the main bar is outstanding. Making specific cocktails for us and just being a lovely human. The underwater restaurant was a great night out, our little handling fishing tour/sunset was fun and snorkelling tour was great. We simply can not fault this resort, location, people, food and just RELAXING for 7 days.
