An excellent resort well placed and very beautiful. Absolutely divine. The concept of having an independent, dedicated InOcean villas built so sturdily and purposefully in the ocean is outstanding. So well built you can’t tell that you are in the middle of the ocean. The villas are big and beautiful.
We stayed 2 nights in the sunset facing villa. These are premium built and finished. There is an island nearby with a couple of large masts and some ongoing building work going on to the right of the view but the left side of the view is uninterrupted. The water colours are turquoise over the reef before turning dark blue.
We moved to the sunrise side for the following 3 nights - my wife preferred the view. The staff were very helpful and nothing was any trouble for them. The sunrise view is clear unobstructed views, you see the island of the resort which is tasteful and then nothing but uninterrupted views of the sea but so many different colours. Clear, turquoise, aqua and blue. Less of a breeze on this side.
We went late August 25 - weather was beautiful every day. Sun with some cloud. The only rain we saw (bearing in mind this is the monsoon season) was on one night at 1 am for about 10mins.
You still get sunset views from the sunrise villas especially upstairs or in the pool in your villa. The pool depth is 1.3m, it is a decent pool rather than a plunge pool. The hammock is comfortable and there is a lounging area with cushions next to the pool which is very comfortable. Upstairs there are sun loungers, a table and chairs and also another lying lounging area.
Food wise - excellent. The staff Totti, Haisham and colleagues are very polite and very keen to serve. The food is all a la carte and of fine dining standards. The service is exceptional.
We didn’t need to go to the island much as the concept and appeal of staying in villas in the middle of the ocean was exceptional. In low tide you can walk in the water/lagoon around the villa, in higher tide it’s still not too deep. Snorkeling is a highly popular activity at the resort but if it’s not your thing the water is so clear you can see the fish in the water from the pier.
Staff are very polite, friendly and keen to please. Beach on the island is divine. Bring your acqua shoes for walking in the lagoon and on the beach.
Restaurant Azurro don’t allow swimwear inside but otherwise no specific dress code. The mocktails are delicious and they keep offering drinks. Lounging areas at the restaurant are beautiful with stunning views.
It’s a great resort, stunning views, great food and drink (make sure you go All Inclusive) and the staff are so polite, caring and wanting you to embrace the beauty and elegance of the resort. The sea plane transfers were a very different kind of experience but the hotels staff made everything so effortless assisting at every step of the way, the seaplane lounge was very comfortable and we were kept informed of our flights regularly.
Sunset side - more private, quieter and beautiful views (but be mindful of nearby island) and a nice breeze. Villas finished to high standard.
Sunrise side - more activity - sea planes, boats etc but better views of the sea, the water colours and clear un obstructed views of the sea. Less breeze.
