Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely resort, our second stay and we will be back. Beautiful sea, snorkelling and grounds, lovely staff and quiet ambiance. Fabulous new outdoor buffet setting a couple of nights a week.
Negative: New restaurant arrangement. One Japanese and one Thai. No other option unless you speak directly with the (very helpful) super talented, head chef. Very restrictive menus plus added supplements on most options. The supplements were probably the most unexpected and left a bad feeling. Understand this is being reviewed.
Summary: Serene, relaxing and intimate.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This was our second visit to this island. We loved the new Japanese restaurant, and the island has lots of very soft sand. The house reef is also good.
Negative: The rooms could need an update now. They're starting to feel a bit old. There's really no great space to put suitcases in the room for instance.
Summary: Soft sand island close to Male.
