Beautiful place to go with a partner or for a weekend of laid back luxury. Staff were incredible, extremely attentive and helped us with whatever we requested. Special shoutout to bar staff Mark & Carl who made me feel so welcome and made my stay even better than I could’ve imagined. I will genuinely miss spending my time with them there. Also staff members Danika, Joy, Liza, Ganni, Vien and alwin (restaurant). Thankyou for the exceptional service. I would highly recommend this place, food was incredible, drinks were incredible and the rooms are immaculate. Beautiful scenery and exceptional all round. I will definitely be coming back in future.

This resort is very very nice , it’s a terrific place to basically do nothing and switch off, the breakfasts are terrific and villas are well kept and great air con. We were there for 4 days in June supposedly wet season and only rained once, it was very hot but laying around the pool and cool villas made it very comfortable. Great transfer service too

The staff was amazing, always friendly and helpful. The villas were very enjoyable. We loved our two bedroom villa with private pool. The restaurant had a good variety of options. Make sure to book tours and spa treatments. We were lucky to get them in but should have checked ahead of time. The resort is very relaxing.

Superior service everywhere. Fabulous location. Well-designed resort atea and grounds. Room was reasonably spacious & plenty comfortable. Food was good but not exceptional; as such, prices of food & drinks were unreasonably high for what was offered. As example: my son ordered a burger for dinner; charge that was listed on check came out to almost USD$30(!!) as VAT and service charges are all automatically added Also: be aware generally of lots of extra charges. We had booked our travel through Expedia, which had labeled the room as for 3 people. When we arrived at resort, front desk said the booking was listed as for 2 people & then insisted that we pay an extra >$100 per night (a not-insignificant sum)

This is a report on a private island. Resort was very natural. Restaurant and bar service was good. Many food choices and all food was good. The pool deck needs to be refinished as wood was splintering. Very friendly staff and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the stay at this property.
