We've just returned from spending 11 nights on this beautiful island. We had the best time and will definitely return! The island is very small and very personal. Tina the manager is a lovely lady and will do what she can to make your holiday special. She is always around and makes an effort to speak to everyone and see how their day has been. All the staff were lovely, the bar men, waiters, chefs, cleaners, reception are a credit to the island. It is the perfect place to just relax and unwind and enjoy your surroundings. If you are looking for a party island then this is not the place for you. It has one bar and one restaurant and live music twice a week. The rooms are very spacious with high ceilings, aircon, wifi, tv, minibar (payable), safe, kettle etc. We got to experience both as we had a complimentary beach villa on arrival until our overwater villa was ready. They are both lovely and have supplies of shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, body lotion and amenities. We thought the food variety was excellent for such a small island. I am a very fussy eater and could always find something to eat. The chef at the cooking station will always cook you up some rice, pasta, noodles etc without the spices if you prefer something plain. I was celebrating my 60th birthday whilst there and they gave me a lovely cake and decorated the bed for when we returned to our room. Any issues with the room, maintenance, housekeeping were dealt with very promptly. We took the speedboat transfer to the island which was nice but a little choppy. We did wait over an hour for the transfer but that was because we had to wait for some people to arrive on another flight. We did one excursion with Meridis to swim with the nurse sharks and the turtles. The staff were so helpful with my partner as he has a sight problem. He was a bit apprehensive as he was worried he would bump into the sharks. As soon as he got in the water with the guide he felt so comfortable. They helped him to get right up next to them and he said it was a fantastic experience he will never forget. Many thanks to all the dive crew, you are very kind. We really don't have any negatives but if we had to say anything then on our last day we had new people in the water villa next to us. They had children with them and unfortunately the young boy kept jumping off the decking and shouting every time he jumped. What had been a lovely quiet place just to sit listening to the waves then became more of an adventure park with shouting and splashing around. This is not a negative against the island but more the behaviour of these guests. We had a wonderful time. The island is beautiful and clean. We loved the snorkelling and seeing lots of different fish. Tina is a star and such a kind soul. We can't wait to return!
