a balanced stay at this location

amazing reef fish species comfortable bed shallow pool lounge chair seating issue

i found the reef around the island amazing. i saw many magnificent species of fish there. the room had a verandah shaded by trees it was great. the bed was super comfy i slept well.

i didn't like that the pool wasn't quite deep. it wasn't deep enough to have a good swim. many people didn't care about the lounge chairs in front of the room. it wasn't very pleasant to see my chair occupied.

delicious food friendly staff extra charge cheap version

I found the food to be very rich and delicious (especially the fresh fish!). the five staff members of the bar served us very well. Nazeer, damith, chandna, jesica and saddam prepared different cocktails for me every day.

I was a bit disappointed that you get charged for nearly everything, even with the all inclusive package. even a bottle of coke was not included. They offer a cheaper version from their dispenser instead.
