We had a wonderful time in Tailana! The island is paradisiac and it's easy to snorkel around it because there's almost no water current. Also, you can wear whatever type of bathing suit you feel comfortable wearing here. The facilities are beautiful and a great compromise between comfort and adventure. Beds are great, the bungalow was clean and spacious, the mosquito net is probably the best one we've encountered in our trip so far, toilets were always clean, and we really enjoyed the open-air coconut shower. The manager Thomas and his helper Lukas are very friendly people, and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We also loved the food. Edo is such a talented cook, and he didn't mind us watching every step of the preparation of our meals and asking him lots of questions. We would definitely come back to this place because the whole experience was beautiful.

An amazing place (could be a 12 out of 10)..

Awesome location at the end of the world. One can still get online, though...

The cabin house was nice and that’s it

Our stay at Palambak Resort was an unforgettable experience and we loved every moment of it. We were the only people on the island with two staff members, who made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We booked the bungalow for 4 nights and I was a bit worried that I'll get bored, but there were plenty of things to do - we kayaked around the island, walked around it, we watched turtles, crabs, passing birds and sunsets and sunrises. We read, slept and chilled and played games which were free to borrow from the reception. We also went on an island hopping tour, which is more of a snorkeling tour, and saw lots of beautiful fishes (bring SPF 50 sunscreen or wear shorts and long sleeves when snorkeling - we burned our backs off despite reaplying SPF 30). Yes - it was hot at night, yes - the generator was a bit loud and yes - the electricity and hence the fan wasn't available throughout the night, but...It's not Maldives, it's an uninhabited island, so don't expect luxury - if you love some quiet life, this place will be great for you. We had no issues with mosquitoes, the food was plenty and absolutely amazing (a choice of breakfast and a freshly caught fish or chicken with rice and veggies for lunch and dinner; every meal came with fruit). The owner Claudine was super caring and helped us organise everything, including transport to/from the island and the island hopping tour.
