Thulhagiri Island Resort & Spa

Had two weeks here in a water bungalow for our honeymoon. We had the most amazing time and loved every minute Our waiter took great care of us and even sorted a romantic dinner on the beach for us one night, The room was great although the air con struggled to cool it down and if you were second for a shower it was like going into an oven. The cleaner was lovely and came every day with fresh beach and bathroom towels. The food was perfect for us as we love curries and spice, plenty of none spicy options available too. Not much entertainment first week but increased our second week. The beach BBQ was worth the money ($65) even though we were all inclusive it was lovely to have dinner by the sea (again) Would I go back, definitely. But as there are so many other islands would probably try somewhere wise next time.

We booked for end of March to early April to miss the strong rain, thunder etc which happened on our last day, and we cannot do anything ie swimming or sun bath. The actual temp is higher than BBC weather, it is 38c, to 34c, and feel like 41c as strong sun and no wind, and no shade. A many of mini island with surrounding soft sand, but no shells and no fish. We were lucky to see sharks few times and mantle couple times. The depth of sea water is 5ft tall, and I could go out very far, but nothing to see on snorkelling which is a shame. Only few swimmers, only 20+ sun bathers, mostly are Germany ppl. Food, the restaurant is small and open so it is hot, only fans, so it is hard to stay out eating, but dash back to room for ac. the hot food is limited, I can count like 12 trays, and the fruits is limited and they cut for you. It is not a cheap holiday, so I would expect more selection and less control on food ie is a buffet, so controlling on fruits Is odd. I was on full board, and expecting some basic drink ie tea, soft drinks, but that was not that case, soft drink was like $4 not cheap. accommodation, we booked the superior water house, it is beautiful, and so cool, floating on sea, ours is at the end, so it is like 5 mins walk to beach, restaurant, gym etc so it was tiring, and annoying. The bathroom is beautiful, twin basins, but no shower head so it was annoying to wash, only fixed head shower. The sheets are not ironed, so you see ceased. It is hot country, like all islands, it has insects, cockroaches, etc and it was bad, I got bitten twice on the leg, and we did not eat inside. We sprayed and many cockrochaers died like flies. We both got bitten daily, 2 per days. they did act with spray, and electric, but they bite at sleep and daytime. The sea is beautiful, hot and salty, bring your snorkelling gear, feed bread and wait 15mins and you get some silver fishes. sunrise was covered by low clouds, and sunset was captured once, but covered by cloud again. It is an island, so you are locked in, we did the many excursions, snork, sunrise, dinner at night bbq, but there are not much to do. if you cannot swim, then you are in trouble ie bored. If you going for sun bathe, it is not cheap, as I can find local countries or other hot asia countries. You cannot swim far out, even it is low level as there are no life guard, so it is your risk to swim out far, so sea reef, is a no no, also you cannot go. It is a tick box holiday, but we wont go, as there are cheaper places for hot sun and clear water.

Fantastic place for R and R-the waters are sparkling light blue with plenty of fish to be seen Staff are amazing,food is incredible and accommodation so comfortable-am in an overwater bungalow that rocks with the tide,so soothing Plenty to do-snorkelling trip and sunset dolphin tour extra but worth it
