Positive: The three beaches they had to offer were all amazing. One for watching the sunset and one other for watching sunrise. Very clean and well kept beaches. The dorms were great for what you pay with a nice view of the beaches and palm trees. Exceptional staff and very chilled back and relaxed yet still professional, felt very at home. The free activities were great, guided snorkel, coconut bowling, cooking class etc. The snorkelling was the best out of all the Islands I went to, very colourful and a wide variety of fish and sharks to see.
Negative: Everything was good.
Summary: Best Island 10/10

Positive: the location was amazing. the best coral and sea life due to the no fish zone and marine research. Great snorkeling off the beach and scuba. Sunset drinks
Negative: the accommodation was comfortable but basic - essentially glamping with a tent covered by a permanent roof. A bit too close to others

Positive: Fabulous place with top staff, terrific snorkeling, white sand beaches. Family friendly and easy. I never put my shoes on the whole time.
Negative: My only, only complaint is that the drinking water - while safe - is very hard and tastes less than great. Kind of inevitable on a small island. I’d bring a gallon of my own water next time to last a few days when I’m not drinking tea, coffee, juices, etc.

Positive: I know that this is a super popular place because of mantas, but to be honest, we stayed at four other resorts and this one was our least favorite. The reef is beautiful and you will enjoy snorkeling a lot, and seeing mantas was great, except screaming guides in the water was extremely annoying and killed any sort of intimacy when you see such beautiful creatures in the water.
Negative: The food! I speak for vegetarian food and by far this place had the worst food out of 4 resorts we stayed at. We had a completely uncooked eggplant for dinner and a dry veggie burger. No extra thought or desire to make the food tasty was put into the dishes. I was glad that we stayed only one day at this place, because when you are on a vacation you want to eat something yummy, but here that would not happen. Also our bure had a tree scratching the roof the whole night and my husband and I didn’t sleep pretty much the whole night. He even tried to climb the roof at 2:30am to fix it, but couldn’t reach the branch. Swimming with mantas reminded me of some kindergarten camp, with guides yelling right and left, with several dozens of people in the water, you don’t enjoy beautiful mantas the way you wanted to.
Summary: Good reef, but not coming back.

Positive: The facilities were great, with a sunset bar to chill before dinner and 3 beaches, one to watch the sunset from. Free guided snorkelling to explore beautiful protected sea life. I loved the awareness sessions on mantas, corals, sharks, etc.. The breakfast was great too!
Summary: Wonderful experience
