A very beautiful island, with water as clear as glass. The rooms are also very clean and have a design sense. The food in the restaurant is also very delicious, especially the wagyu beef.

A very beautiful island, with water as clear as glass. The rooms are also very clean and have a design sense. The food in the restaurant is also very delicious, especially the wagyu beef. The service staff are all very friendly and greet everyone. I would like to express my special thanks to our housekeeper, Tharif. His smile is very infectious. During these days, my wife got cut by coral while snorkeling and her leg was sunburned. Tharif very considerately provided us with alcohol cotton, band-aids, aloe vera gel and calamine lotion for sunburn, and carefully asked about my wife's injury and whether she needed a doctor. On the last day, he specially drove the boggy car to pick up me and my wife on time to participate in the dolphin activity. I am very grateful for his meticulous care. He is very considerate and professional. I give him a five-star rating! Read less
