We especially enjoyed the opportunity to snorkel with some excellent fish in the area, especially provided for this.
The pools and bar area are fun and quiet in equal measure.
Nothing was too much trouble.
Thankyou Ailafushi

Overall it was a unique experience, the service was brilliant, Jackline and Pinki who served ourselves were excellent! The food was fantastic!!
The best steak I’ve ever had
Sep 17, 2025Molly A
Absolutely gorgeous restaurant. Excellent service from all the friendly staff. Complimentary appetiser. Had the steak as a main course, it was out of this world. Views were amazing and we saw huge sharks swimming by as we ate. 100% worth every penny. I’d come back to the island just for another meal.
Great house keeping
