The island is not big, but cozy. The most important thing is THAT THERE ARE NO CHILDREN HERE!!!! The sand is beautiful, the ocean color is gorgeous, the reef and the sharks are good too.
The food... Well, you won't be hungry, but not wow.
The bungalow has no TV, and everything else is there, just like everywhere else. Cleaned every day and pretty clean.
Wildlife is present - dolphins, sharks, flying foxes, lizards, geckos, herons, gerbils, seagulls, ants ...
You need to take an adapter for sockets with you (but they say that they are given at the reception). There is a library at the reception - there are books in Russian too.
The staff speaks English or Italian. A chaise longue will be attached to your house on the beach. But it can be moved. It is better to take a bungalow on the beach. It's not so cool on the water.
We rested from October 22 to October 31, 2024, before that we were only at resorts like Turkey/Egypt/Sochi/Crimea. It was just a great vacation for us! Every corner of the hotel looks like a picture from a romantic movie. The rooms are very beautiful, cleaning 2 times a day, take a villa on the water or a water suite, much more privacy, your descent into the ocean, super romantic evenings on the terrace under the starry sky and sharks swimming under you.) Animation, it seems to be there, but it seems not, in the evening all the animation is in Italian, the waiters know 2-3 phrases in Russian and that's it. But it's not necessary there, so tune in to spend time with yourself.
The food is the simplest, no frills, but you can always find something for yourself, rice, potatoes, macaroni, chicken, duck, beef, lamb, fish - all this is stewed, fried, boiled almost every day, mix and enjoy as you want. The hotel is Italian, so you can always eat pizza and pasta, they are always there. The chef, you will immediately recognize him, loves Alenka chocolate very much, and in general everyone loves it, they do not have normal sweets. Take no number of tiles with you, they are sincerely happy about these little things and separately hand the tile to the chef, he walks around the hall every dinner and asks the guests if they like everything).
Briefly:
The feeling of relaxation and relaxation is constant!
The views are magnificent!
Rooms and service are better than in most hotels in Turkey/Egypt/Of Russia.
The food is ordinary, but it does not interfere.
Alcohol (AI) - martinis (all kinds) by the river, the wine is only white, but delicious. Vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, something inexpensive from India, alcoholic brands are not poured for free.
The ocean is the best! Reef with fish, crabs, sharks, turtles. We've seen everyone!
The hotel is new and not tired at all. We recommend it!
An unforgettable magical island!!!! I fell in love!!!! Incredibly beautiful wherever you go! A small cozy island! It is very green and there are no mosquitoes, it was amazing for me, but everything is for tourists, treated with a bang! Entertainment every day, then live music, then dancing, then an aperitif on the beach before dinner and a DJ playing club music, well, just a delight! there are performances in the Amphitheater every day, but since they are in Italian, I did not go, but I watched a couple of times, it was fun. The pool is a separate miracle of the island, the beauty is unreal, there is also a pool bar, but it does not work all day. The main Bar starts serving alcoholic drinks from 12 noon to 12 am. There are excursions to sharks and turtles, we were on sharks, the impression for a lifetime that you swam with sharks! There is a main beach where animators have fun, you can take Subs, Kayaks and swim - it's free, but what with the motor is paid! We rented anything, masks, fins, we even took a goupro and threw everything on our iPhone. The food is incomparable : meat of different types, fish, vegetables, side dish and rice and, as it were, mashed potatoes, and something local, pasta of three kinds, desserts just drop off the heads!!!! Watermelons, bananas, papaya, apples. There is a very large assortment of drinks. From alcohol, Martinis, whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, cocktails are made a million! And there are beaches where there is no one at all and you swim alone and no one touches you, and you sunbathe in silence. Actually, for my first trip to the Maldives, I was just pleasantly shocked by the rest, and met the Russians and hung out all day long!!!! Maldives is my love forever!!!)) aah and most importantly, I was afraid of the weather - the weather was gorgeous all the days, one day it was cloudy and then we managed to burn, and once it rained for 15 minutes at night. Do not believe the forecasts on the Internet did not match even once.
