First of all, we'd like to give a huge thank-you to all the staff, they simply can not do enough for you to ensure your stay is as magical as this wonderful location. Special thanks to Fulu, Menaka and Salinda for serving us so well at each mealtime and making the Luxury Sandbank Dinner so special! Thanks also to Afey for the daily room clean and mini bar stock up;) Thanks to the ladies at the Spa too! Fantastic massage and body scrub, felt so fresh and chilled afterwards. This resort is simply stunning, we kept saying wow to ourselves for the views as we arrived. And again when we entered our water bungalow! Probs stopped saying wow on about day 4! Our holiday was 10 nights but has felt like 3 weeks, the weather was a steady 30c and without rain (despite this being rainy season) We've enjoyed so many things, snorkeling from the water bungalow steps and seeing so many species of fish and mammals (especially at night viewing through the glass floor in the water bungalow) We've watched the hermit crabs freeze when you walk by them, seen 2 Turtles in the lagoon, numerous rays, baby reef sharks and at least a 10ft nurse shark casually swim past the bungalow (2 mins after I'd got out of the water - thank goodness!!!) The resort has everything you could want and the package we took was well worth the money paid. There are upsells during your stay ( Spa, Fishing etc) and my advice would be give it a day or so before you pick what to do as they're not cheap. The standard all inclusive for us was more than enough, drinks were good and most spirits were branded. Now the food, considering its a buffet (unless you pay more for the Crab restaurant) the food is fantastic, every cuisine considered every day, allergies clearly marked up. The Omelette, Pasta, Stir Fry and local speciality stations will cook to order and everything is delicious. For lighter eaters the salad bar is also plentiful with some wonderful combinations. You'll not regret coming to Hakkura hurra and we know all our future holidays will not compare to this bucket list experience. We will come back. I'm sure x Read less
