Our experience at this resort was exceptional from the moment we landed at the airport. Upon arrival on the island, the team welcomed us with genuine hospitality. They assured us we could always reach out directly if we needed anything – a promise they truly honored. From our first day to the last, their attention and thoughtfulness went far beyond expectations. Our villa was absolutely stunning, spacious, private, and had incredible views. The entire resort is beautiful and peaceful. The wedding was an amazing experience, especially the Rolls Royce car, and the setup was stunning. Sandbank, wow! Unbelievable experience—just me and my husband, alone on the island, everywhere water. Dinner at the beach setup was so amazing, along with the service. Our favorite food from the deli shop: sandwiches and detox drinks. This stay was more than a vacation – it was a deeply personalized and heartwarming experience. Thank you to every staff member who made our time unforgettable. A huge thank you to Steven, the F&B Director, who checked in with us daily and genuinely cared about how we were enjoying our meals and our stay. Ali, Ammi, Melisa, etc., who took care of everything with such care and professionalism. They really made our stay effortless and extra special. This is a place where luxury feels effortless and every moment is infused with care and calm. We can’t wait to return. Read less

Fantastic resort and Butler - Shanun

We are a family of 4 - 2 kids and 2 adults. The resort is very unique with no reception or busy check-in counter. You are received by private butler who takes you to villas and provides the service. We had a very good butler Shanun . He was always calm and showed great attention to detail and empathy. He noticed where each of our kids fell on the spectrum of cycling ability and made adjustments to their rides without any fuss. He'd entertain them with jokes and funny stories, and most days, our kids would want to ride beside him on the front of the buggy. He entombed them in that while making sure that this was achieved safely, though it comes at the cost of most children's idea of fun. He made them feel special in every way. Even now, after many weeks, our children are still talking about Shanun uncle, retelling his stories, and asking when we are going back to see him. Nothing could speak louder than that in any review by an adult. What moved me most, however, was the purity of his integrity and a very strong sense of responsibility. I lost my wallet somewhere at the resort, not realizing it until we were already in Doha. I called Shanun and he checked through the whole resort before finally finding it. That wasn't the end of it. He went ahead to ensure that it was returned to me-safe, intact, and in good time. This was beyond a duty; it reflected a moral compass and human decency that is becoming rare to find these days. For that, he will always have my deepest respect. The rest of the staff also reflected this culture of care. At each restaurant, one person would pop up, remind themselves what they would like to be, fine-tune a dish, or just smile to ensure the kids' happiness. If a meal was not finished, the chef would personally approach and ask what could have been done better. It was never about showing-off-it was about genuine hospitality. The resort itself is a paradise-private villas quiet atmosphere, enormous activities from snorkeling and creative kids' programs to beautiful pools; something for every kid-and those are never bored-not once did the kids complain about boredom-which is when the parents can truly relax. So here we are, looking forward to returning. Read less
