Paradise on earth! A truly fantastic place, hotel and staff. Definitely go for sunset side rather than sunrise, sunrise side will have a jetty which is opposite the staff island so boats docking in and out all day. Sunset a little better although you will see an island which is pretty close that has high rise hotels. In the far distance a new island is being made by the government, they are starting to do what Dubai have done, man made islands. It’s still one of the most beautiful places in the world to be. On arrival for checking in you will be greeted by your personal valet/rep, be very careful before accepting their service, example: he sold us the drinks package for 4800 dollars (4 people) but 4 days into our holiday got chatting to a guest at the pool bar who only paid 3168 dollars, (hotel was offering it for a lower price but he did not pass it on) I spoke to the hotel manager who then had to back date this offer down to 3168, he told me that they work on commission. After that I booked everything myself, got 10% discount on massages and 10% off jet skis. Certain restaurants you only get 60 dollars each towards a meal which is a shame considering some dishes at sea salt cost 160 dollars. These restaurants were empty, no wonder why the buffet was so busy and truly excellent, no complaints at all. If you like snorkelling this island is not for you, doesn’t have a great deal of fish, really no different to the fish you see in Greece. What you need to do is search for the island of Kuramathi on google earth/maps and stay around these islands if you can find a hotel within your budget, they truly have the best sea life, it’s like watching Nemo the movie, tropical fish everywhere, with reef sharks and stingrays as soon as you step into the sea. We’re going back to this region in future. The corals are all dead here, such a shame. With regard to food and drinks, all extremely high end. The beach villa bungalows are excellent and are cleaned twice a day with fresh beach towels, brilliant service, even around the pool are clean towels everywhere. Bathroom was truly fantastically clean with extremely hot water with a fantastic power shower with high end soaps, slippers, flip flops and Egyptian cotton towels. Massive beds and truly comfortable. Overall great stay but thought best to tell the truth.
