United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It truly is an island paradise, From the moment we stepped out of the boat until the time we were sadly waving goodbye, the staff (and Mr Tom above all others) did everything possible to make sure we had the best possible experience.The Dive School and Marine Science Centre staff were all excellent - they seem to remember everyone's names after the first encounter - and really made our holiday. The snorkelling is amazing and dive instructor Harry was very patient with me during the introductory scuba diving session (such that I got to complete the dive). The food service is a little haphazard as others have noted - despite pre-ordering meals we would often wait an hour for food to arrive and my wife's and my meals would often arrive 20 minutes apart. Forunately I was pre-warned by previous reviews so I didn't let this get to me but I can see how some people would be botherer by it. (During our stay a new appointee arrived to improve the efficiency of the food service so this will hopefully improve). Bar prices were reasonable considering you literally have no other options.
Negative: Apart from the food delivery, we loved everything about the island/resort.
Summary: The perfect island retreat
