10/10 Excellent
"Incredible local reef that you can swim to right off the island. Friendly staff, and decent food. Italian and Thai restaurants are great. Buffet is very good for dinner, but not too many options for breakfast or lunch. Would happily come back, especially for the immense sea life."

"The room was excellent in terms of cleanliness and spectacular views of the ocean. The breakfast was great and especially Nujoom was amazing in her welcoming skills. Overall a great experience that I'd like to repeat. The seaplane transfers were flawless. But I'd try a sea route next time. Thanks everyone."
