This is going to be a long review because I’m just so passionate about this stay, I just really recommend staying here. I felt like royalty in my entire stay and I would 100% be back and bring all my family. I made memories to last a lifetime, but that was purely down to the way we were treated by the amazing staff. When we got to the airport we didn’t know what to expect. Abdullah greeted us it was a smooth and easy process to hand us over to the speedboat. Already things were off to a right start. The speedboat was great, they gave water and cold towels just what you need after a 10 hour flight. Nour then greeted us as we arrived, she was polite, kind and very helpful. Through out our holiday she was there to help us. She made sure we were looked after. We stayed in two rooms, our favourite was the cottage room with a pool and within seconds from the beach. The rooms are of a really high standard well equipped and very spacious! The feast restaurant was exceptional, the quality and variety of food was some of the best we have had, it’s organised and tidy and the staff are very very professional and so kind. They went above and beyond. A special mention to Ishaq, yash aahil, kanas and Fiyaz the manager, i want to mention how impressed i was to see the way fiyaz leads his team, every night he would work with them clearing tables and assisting guests. Hanee at reception throughout our stay really went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. If you come to this island, I definitely recommend the all-inclusive package it meant we could treat ourselves and also there were no hidden costs. There was so much variety included. We enjoyed the concept of having a three course meal at lunchtime which was sitting down and at dinnertime and breakfast, it was more of a variety. One thing that I didn’t know is that you can see so much of the mainland from one side of the island. However, there is still many scenic points of the island and also I was personally happy to know I was close to mainland the biggest selling point on this island is the professionalism of the staff they take the experience and elevate it to a whole new level. When I tell you, it felt like we was in paradise. It really did . The staff welcome you like a family member and really treat you like that throughout your stay speaking to other guests during our stay. We all agreed on this. Some of the things I recommend the food at chopsticks was really tasty and the portions were generous. I recommend getting the lobster chow mein and the beef and rice dish. These two were exceptional. The staff Here were very accommodating as well. Definitely go to the kakuni hut for lunch one day the views are unmatched. There’s so much to do at that part of the beach and also they have the best sweet potato fries. I have ever eaten in my life. You should also try the tuna ceviche it was exceptional. We spent a lot of time at the Anchorage bar, again the view is amazing, the food, exceptional the service phenomenal, we tried really good food here we ate from here twice. We really enjoyed the pizza, the Caesar salad they had a good variety. Nizzer really looked after us here. Shuwau also very lovely. The views here are breathtaking The swimming pool is very clean. The water is so lovely it is taken care of by really lovely man called shafeeq, he regularly brought us drinks and towels, and looked after as well. It was a nice change to go from the beach to the pool. Some of the points I really liked about the island. The team took us in a buggy for a tour of the island. As we had two three month old babies. This made it easier one of the aspects I really enjoyed was Everything was very close by to each other. We didn’t need to look for it. They have a boutique that sells souvenirs and a few other essentials. You can also take your inflatables there to blow up. For us. The highlight of this holiday was the staff and the high standard of the food. We found the quality of ingredients really really tasty. It was really nice that every member of staff no matter what job they did would come up talk to you and ask you how you are and if everything is okay it was really nice touch. Some of my highlights this holiday. On the last night, the staff decorated our table in the restaurant. It was a really nice gesture and we were really touched, especially because we wasn’t on a honeymoon, or it wasn’t a birthday, so it was nice to feel special just because Saleem, the director of hospitality came and sat with us. We really enjoyed this conversation. He gave us a really nice history of the island spoke to us about things that were going on in the island. We really enjoyed this conversation. It was really interesting to know about some of the nature of different animals that live on the island. He also was very accommodating alongside his team. I did kayaking as this was included in the package. I also did snorkelling and both activities I recommend. On the last day, we went past two men who were picking up coconuts from the trees. They were very kind to show us a demonstration of how they do it. This was very interesting. They were also kind enough to give us a fresh coconut each that had just been picked. This was such a highlight for us! Tamryn from the entertainment team was so kind and polite she would come and sit with us every day. Have a chat. Tell us what was going on. She was really good with Babies as well. What I liked on the island was that there were a lot of activities should you want to do them, Rashid, mostafa, dinendra and moedean all chefs who went above and beyond to look after us and our requests. Moedeen would make us dosa in the morning and then go out his way to pair it with the currys it’s meant to be eaten with, we appreciated this as we had no clue. I want to finish this by saying I would 100%. Recommend this resort if you want to feel special and be pampered and make memories of a lifetime. They welcome you in to their family and me and my family would definitely be back! If, after reading my lengthy review, you are still uncertain, please see the pictures I have attached…
