"The house reef is phenomenal! Every day we managed to see sharks, turtles, rays, and a plethora of fish. The reef is super easy to access. The excursions offered were fabulous! Alice from the team created such an unforgettable experience for us: we saw manta rays, dolphins, and the most gorgeous coral garden all in one day. Front office staff are very helpful, especially Mersaid, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Finally, the spa was outstanding, we’ve received 3 treatments each and were incredibly content with the massages."

"It would have been amazing if there was a better sea view from the bar and restaurant, as they are both tucked into the island. Also, it was slightly disappointing to learn that the all inclusive package didn’t actually include all the possible cocktails, with some being labelled “premium”"

"The perfect island for a totally relaxing holiday. Our room was a beach bungalow which was laid out perfectly, bright and clean. All meals were delicious with enough variety for our 9 night stay. We used a kayak, snorkelled and my husband dived most days. An amazing place for total relaxation."

"Aucun."

"Everything: amazing coral reef, friendly staff, easygoing atmosphere, good and varied food, loads of activities (organized by the marine biology center, the diving center and the soft animation team)"

"Nothing"

"Beautiful location and comfortable chalet right by the sea"

"Aucun."

"It was everything I hoped the Maldives would be but was afraid it wouldn’t be. Relaxed, friendly, good snorkelling."

"As always the shop was over priced and didn’t have a great range of items. Nothing to tempt you to make that little holiday purchase, or two, or three…"

"This place is impossible to fault. A small quiet island, with beautiful reef, good food and excellent staff. We spent the days snorkelling, eating, resting... it was very hard to leave. The water activities were fantastic, all the staff organising them was helpful and informative. Even just the group snorkel around the island is wonderful. A holiday we won't forget."

"Aucun."

"Quiet retreat, everything clean. The food was good, not perfect. The diving is average."

"Nothing special."

"Lovely small resort with wonderful staff. The food is good with a changing dinner menu each night. Great snorkeling around the island with plenty of cool fish, corals, sharks to see."

"Slightly overpriced- particularly the boat excursions, wish they served real coffee (and not instant coffee!) and changed up the breakfast a bit, and the water cabins do not afford a relaxing night sleep as they are pounded by crashing waves ALL night long …"

"Very friendly staff. Everyone is nice and kind and you can have a lot of different activities with the group if you want to. The food is also really good. The island and the view you get is amazing."

"You cannot work with the internet provided. You'd have to pay extra to do so. Also a few facilities like in the game room could be better maintained."

"All staff very polite and friendly The place is calm and peaceful."
