At the end of July this year, we took our 4-year-old and 2-year-old children to the island. Even now, we still deeply miss every moment of our stay. Our wonderful experience started even before we arrived. The resort was incredibly responsive through both WhatsApp and emails, answering all our questions promptly. This high efficiency gave us immense peace of mind. A huge thank you to Tess, our amazing villa host, for her quick and reliable support throughout our stay. She always resolved all of our requests effortlessly. At the restaurants, thanks to Joseph, Priyanka, and Miusam...etc. They always showered our children with endless warmth, patience, and fantastic energy. We are also deeply grateful to the team at the Dolphin Kids Club. They created wonderful memories that our children still talk about to this day! Because of their amazing care, we as parents were able to enjoy our time in water activities. Additionally, the tennis coach was amazing—the guidance allowed even an absolute beginner to fully experience the joy of the sport. The diving instructors were also fantastic, making everything exceptionally clear and easy to understand. A special highlight was when Patrick came over to our table to perform a magic trick while our kids were crying and fussing. We were absolutely blown away to find out later that he is actually the General Manager! He was incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and approachable. This trip was truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend this resort to anyone traveling with young kids! Read less
