A beautiful resort with very nice Villas. We stayed in a beach villa with private pool which also included 2 sunbeds at the beach. The minibar is free with snacks and drinks and is filled up daily. It is a quite large and green Island which I liked and it easy to walk, ride with a buggy or use any of the bicycles spread out in the Island. The staff is polite and always with a happy smile. Our host Lester took good care of us and our planning so we had a smooth stay. Also thank you to Jibon who made us perfect omelettes for breakfast! We loved the snorkeling and diving excursions as well as the massages in SPA. Note that it is a bit difficult to reach the house reef, you can snorkel on your own at the inside if you are experienced. We found a lot of fish, stingray but you have to go out beyond the water villas near the wave breaker. But there are also free boat trips to the outside which was nice and easy, just make sure to book it early as it is very popular. You can also enjoy a free fishing trip and a sunset cruise. A drink at the sunset at Seb’s bar is a must as well as dinner at Ampersand, so good food and beautiful scenery. The Village restaurant had really good food as well. The Mizaj restaurant we did not like as much. The buffet was quite small but with good quality and with a beautiful view. We really liked the live music but it was not easy to find out in what place they would turn up. Otherwise they use an App so you can check what’s on every day and it is a lot! Yoga, Zumba, Arts lessons and so much more. There are a sports center with mini golf, Padel tennis, ping pong and a bar. They also arrange some party nights. A bonus is the beautiful transport with Seaplane to the resort, a perfect start and ending of the holiday! Read less

Travelled as a family of 3. Everything ran smoothly, as much as you would expect with an 8 year old son! Plenty of things to occupy a young and inquisitive mind. Plenty of food and drink options. Very attentive staff overall. Particularly worthy of a mention are Mary and the team at the arts and craft shack, the Discovery centre team, and Reepe and the team at the dive centre, who really went above and beyond to make our sons time with them so memorable. If you choose to have a treatment at ELE NA SPA, then Annie has the most magical hands to take you to the next level of relaxation. A larger Island with more amenities than previously visited, but still a magical and memorable holiday. Read less
