We came here for our honeymoon, and everything was simply perfect – from the food to the stunning underwater world. We joined the manta and turtle tour as well as scuba diving, and they became truly unforgettable memories. Even though I can’t swim at all, the professional guides gave such kind and clear instructions beforehand that I could enjoy everything without any problem. Our butler, Faya, made our trip even more special. When we arrived, all our restaurant bookings were already arranged with a thoughtful mix of different dining options. Whenever we had a new request or wanted to change a reservation, Faya responded immediately through KakaoTalk and handled everything with kindness. Always greeting us with a bright smile and helping us in every possible way, Faya was truly the best butler we could have asked for. Read less
