Vakkaru, has truly been the most amazing place I have been to. I spent a week there with my family. The island is breathtaking, not to mention the amenities and villas. Every detail is spectacular. The service is outstanding, were every staff member cares to your needs and is on top of every request. Rifau was our butler during our stay, and I must say, I have never experienced a better service and attention than the one he provided us. I highly recommend people go to Vakkaru.
