Staff were very friendly. Property did not have much facilities and the cleanliness inside the Villa could have been better. The wardrobe doors were not able to close properly and the varnish on the wooden furniture had worn off to show steaks and patches

It was our 3rd year anniversary and we had the best time ever…first of all on arrival..we got the WARMEST welcome from Mary our hostess…she’s very kind, friendly and pays attention to details… she made us very comfortable
However, on the massage sector, my wife had the WORST experience with Margaret…she didn’t pay attention to the areas requested and after complaining my wife left there in pain and sore…she wasn’t as friendly so I wouldn’t recommend her… the waiters on the other hand are really kind and nice..
The rooms aren’t properly cleaned..the hygiene is not the best and you can tell its overtime poor maintenance…stains on the white tiles here and there and green mould around the shower corners… we stayed at the water villa with a pool
Other than that, the food is 10/10 … the experience was amazing…enjoyed the sunset fishing, feeding and touching the stingrays and seeing baby sharks from our villa..it was surreal..
If you like to have fun, i’d recommend checking in on a Thursday as they always have DJ night and Rachana makes the BEST sheesha…and don’t forget to ask for Mary for a splendid experience.
The place was definitely worth it, we’d definitely recommend

I was here previously, decided to come for a 20 day stay to recharge.. They really let the place go downhill in every way.
I felt like I was doing a spotting job rather than having a vacation especially the first week.simple things like painting rusted things all over the island. Not clearing garbage that washes onto the beach, which I and other guests would put up high on the beach figuring they did a walk around daily. No, same garbage was not even noticed because the management doesn't care. I made my complaints and was told that some quality control expert was coming and they would have the island in shape by December. Lot of good that did me momentarily.it was things that were not even hard to do, simply there was no will. And it wasn't the staff, it's management..Actually had by chance the same room from years ago and saw the same issues not attended to.
The food was also low quality, I avoided breakfast, out of 19 nights, maybe 5 breakfasts. Any juices put out we're heavy sugar and they spared every expense. Not a banana in sight the last 10 days of my stay.. I offered to gladly do a walk with the general manager and show him how to fix the place up in a matter of days with staff on hand. Didn't care.. then there is the smoking. Staff quarters are close and obviously no one is told to go to a further section of the small island to smoke. When you're out taking the air on a walk it's not pleasant to suck in a huge amount of smoke. Much more. Bye Dfaru.

Not only did the ocean waters and sandy beaches look even better in person, but the entire experience was a wonderful vacation. Additionally, we had a minor medical situation and the onsite doctor, Dr. Dema was wonderful; the hotel manager, Ally was also wonderful. We highly recommend this property!

We had asked evening transport during the way back since day 1. We were told they will inform us even though we asked to be notified in advance so many times. Nobody came back until 12pm noon time, and they said in 15 minutes airplane will depart. This resulted our arrival to Mahe airport 11 hours earlier than our flight to Dubai. It was a totally disappointing experience.
Furthermore, food is horrible. We have seen hotel employees were systematically entering misleading positive comments about this facility. Stay away, there are so many places in Dubai which would not ruin your holiday

Struttura bellissima perfettamente inserita in questa piccola isola. Spiaggia bianca e pulitissima, con un mare dai colori fantastici. La camera, con la discesa direttamente in acqua, è davvero molto bella. Ottimo il cibo e il personale è sempre gentile e sorridente. Isola con poche stanze, quindi con poche persone, è l'ideale per rilassarsi. Abbiamo trascorso dei giorni indimenticabili. Speriamo di tornarci presto.
