"Five stars is not enough, This was a little bit of paradise, I wish I could have had more Time Here! The staff are super friendly - from The airport greet staff, the boat team, waiting staff and the team that showed us around when we arrived - many thanks Mayiz. The resort is just a quick 10 minute speedboat ride from The airport and everything is divine - we stopped in a beachfront villa which is superbly equipped with its own private little pool, well worth the extra. The water is lovely, sand is beautiful and we captured some Great pictures and many happy memories. The catering choices were vast - but you can easily blow your budget on extras here!
