We had the best time celebrating here. The resort is beautiful but it’s really the employees that make the experience so amazing. Special mention to Dwi for helping us plan our days so perfectly, Atiq for making sure our glasses were never empty, and Braj Raj Singh for an amazing postural alignment session.

We arrived around 2 p.m and as soon as we got out we found a nice lady waiting for us, she took us to the lounge to wait for the seaplane . You should notice that every single bag should not weight more than 20 kilos or you gonna pay extra charge for the extra kilos , we were two passengers with 2 bags and 2 trollies , every bag was under 20 kilos so we didn’t pay anything. Back to the lounge, it was very fancy, you can take a shower there and have some snacks and relax while you’re waiting for the seaplane,there’s a WiFi too . The ride to the resort is almost 35 minutes. The staff here is very welcoming , friendly and helpful . Starting from the general manager Mauro Leane who arranged a nice celebration for us , Maria our butler was very cooperative and friendly, every staff member was doing their best to meet our satisfaction Sam , Sevtlana , Eunice the chef Ahmad and all the guys to be honest were very willing to help. I really thank every single one from the team. Read less

We have had a fantastic time here so far, food has been amazing at all the venues and special thank you to Brij Singh whose morning/posture yoga class was amazing, I recommend anyone who stays takes his classes. I would also recommend the sushi in Umi as it’s some of the best I have ever had.
