We had a wonderful time here. We stayed for 3 nights in a superior chalet. As it was a basic chalet it was actually the best chalet we have stayed in, spatious, 2 air con units which kept us lovely and cool. Big bathroom and rain shower. The bed was huge and really comfortable. They also provide free insect repellent in the rooms and by the pool which we didn't find anywhere else on our trip. Wifi in the room and TV. There are steps up to our chalet which we found okay but people with mobility issues could just get the complimentary electric buggy to and from the rooms. The staff here are magnificent, so kind and caring and very attentive. We didn't opt for the all inclusive option as we don't drink so it wouldn't have been beneficial for us. Food was great, especially the burger on the lunch menu and we loved the refresher drinks menu. Happy hour is 4pm-7pm. We snorkelled everyday and used the kayaks also. All watersports are free to use which is the reason we chose this resort over gaya island resort and we thought the beach was nicer also. We saw some great fish around the Jetty, sting rays and a black tip shark. No jellyfish were seen which was great. We didn't use the gym but we went in to get the pickleball equipment and it was good, all the equipment you'd need, shower etc... We played pickleball in the rain and it was fabulous. Overall the staff here make the experience one of a kind. We would happily return and already miss being there!

A wonderful resort for our honeymoon, and one we’d highly recommend particularly the plunge pool villa that overlooks and has private access to the beach. The jetty was a particular highlight — very well lit, and every night we would walk there looking at the marine life; it was like having our own private aquarium. Some caveats. Don’t expect parties, activities and shows — this is a great resort to unwind and recharge, particularly if you love nature (exactly what we needed for the tail end of a mammoth 3 weeks). The jungle hikes and snorkelling trips are definitely worth doing; the snorkelling around the resort is good but you do have to swim out for the best coral. We considered private boats to KK but didn’t feel the need when you can party with monkeys, monitors, hornbills and wild boar at your doorstep. There are only 2 restaurants on site which can feel a bit limiting, but the food is varied and excellent so we didn’t mind. The staff were warm and attentive throughout without ever being intrusive — a tough balance to strike. And the wine list from their amazing cellar is simply one of the best we’ve ever seen — serious depth in Australian wines alongside some genuine heavy hitters: First Growths, Grange, Sassicaia. Exceptional.

Very disappointing and absolutely not worth the money. Having paid USD $250 a night, I expect the following: 1. A clean beach that is not full of garbage. Watching the disinterested man with the water buffalo walking across the beach and picking up a few big chunks of plastic and ignoring all other types of garbage was just sad. 2. WiFi in rooms, can’t believe this needs to be said in 2025. It is very obvious that the hotel managements wants the guests to spend time in their “public areas” spending money on overpriced and food and drinks. I am already paying a lot of mo eh for my room, this is not acceptable. 3. Much better food. Both breakfast and dinner was very poor and people running both did not seem to care at all. 4. Service that matches the money charged. At pretty much every point (check-in, breakfast, dinner, check-out) there were 1-2 people serving several groups of people. Whilst very friendly, they were very unorganised and slow. I was “accidentally” overcharged at all times when money needed to be paid, and had to point out the mistake before my bills were amended. The grounds are beautiful so the place definitely has good potential, it is a shame that none of was realised.
