"Property was good and staff were helpful. All three TVs didn't work. Not a big deal for me but others I am sure would like them to work. Water temperature was either cold or less often too hot. Not much food variety on the Island and fairly average. Food at the hotel was one of the better places. We did a couple day trips, which were very good but made me think, perhaps we may have been better off on one of the islands. Gulhi is very close to the airport though so thats a plus."
