Jul 20, 2025 egorkluka18 Rome, Italy

it was a terrible vacation, I especially do not recommend getting to the guide Karina, a person who does not want to work at all and help in matters related to her work, the only positive thing on vacation was a cleaner named Jahid, who was filled with positivity and passed it on to us

We had a overwater villa with a private plunge pool. The villa was excellent with all amenities you could want. The room was spotlessy clean and well stocked so thank you to our room attendant. The Beaches are sensational and are as depicted in photos. water was clear and that perfect Aqa blue colour. Our biggest issue was the food. Raaya Life was good for breakfast with a good selection, dinner however was a let down with a lot of the food in the Bain Marie cold or barely luke warm. Grilled chicken and lamb were so tough it was inedible. The Village was sensational, the food and the service from Hussain excellent. Mizaj was also good but was held in Raaya Life due to the weather which took some of the shine off the experience. Ampersand was a real let down the Ramon was so salty you couldn't eat it, we didn't finish one course except desert. It was a real disappointment as we had read it was excellent. We had a booking for lunch there the following day but cancelled as we didn't want to endure the experience again. Our suggestions to improve the experience 1 Have sunlounges with umbrellas down by the seaside, not everyone wants to be sitting side by side around a pool when you have the Indian ocean out the front. 2 Have a selection of zero alcohol beers and wines not every one wants to be drinking alcohol at 10.00am, the Mocktails were too sweet so we had to stick to sparkling water all day. They did have one zero alcohol Rose sparkling which was bad. 3 Improve the food for dinner at Raaya Life and Ampersand. 4 Have an undercover area at MizAj not just sunshades as we saw many guests dinners destroyed by a sudden downpour. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Read less

Wow! What a wonderful experience. This has been on our bucket list for quite some time and we were not disappointed. Indeed, the resort exceeded our expectations. From the time we landed on our seaplane we were heartily welcomed. We were given a quick tour of the island and then taken to our over water villa which was well appointed. We had breakfast each morning at RAAYA Life (all day dining) buffet. The choices were huge and sooooo good. Highlights were freshly made juices, pastries, omelette station, fresh fruit and excellent coffee as well as the usual brekkie favourites. The resort has four restaurants, all of which served superb dishes. Our favourites were Ampers&nd (Asian fusion) and The Village (Italian). The menus whilst not huge, offered more than enough variety over the week of our stay. The staff were so attentive and friendly. There were more than enough activities to keep one busy and plenty of space and places to just relax. A huge pool with bar for cocktails and snacks was ideal for lazing around. The white sands and azure waters were always beckoning. I cannot recommend this resort too highly. We definitely wish to return next year! Read less

The facilities on the island were very new and the scenery was extremely beautiful. Our butler was Achala. He could speak Chinese, which made communication very convenient. He also arranged and made appointments for all the daily itinerary items for us, so we didn't have to worry about anything. As it was our honeymoon trip, they reserved a room number 520 for us, which was very thoughtful. We were very satisfied with the entire journey and will definitely come again next time. Read less
