“Peaceful and relaxing”

Mar 03, 2026Elspeth C

We can’t fault our holiday here. So relaxing and the island is incredibly peaceful. You never feel that you are too close to other holiday makers, there’s no rush to get sunbeds or beach space. The island, even though small feels spacious for the amount of people here. We had great service from Hassaan who was our host and organised our trips to see dolphins and then sharks. The restaurant staff are incredibly attentive and so friendly. They are interested in where you are from and like to chat as they look after you. Special thank you to Cia, Hassan, Adnan and Cindy - what lovely people work here, thank you so much for looking after us so well. The food is fantastic, lots to choose from. Compliments to the chef! The domestic staff and the bar staff too, all so pleasant to deal with and high standard of work . A very enjoyable and relaxing stay with excellent, helpful staff.

“5 nights in paradise!”

Mar 03, 2026Hartlc2022

Amazing 5 nights in paradise! Joy Island was beautiful….clear waters and white sandy beaches. We stayed in a beach villa with pool and it was clean and spacious. The room had air conditioning which was needed die to the hot, humid weather. A few hiccups with the air conditioning and WiFi were fixed immediately on bringing them to the attention of our wonderful host Naseem who was on call 24/7. He ensured our trip went smoothly and sorted out trips and restaurant bookings. Food was great in the Market. Room was kept clean and tidy by Sureth.
