The staff was very friendly. There was Nacer from the staff who was very helpful and supportive all the time. He was there always for us whenever we needed help or had any questions or concerns. The food was excellent in Allegria (the Italian restaurant), but it was okay to bad for some of the other ones. I personally would not recommend East Market.
Saudi ArabiaThe food was nice, lots of activity, beautiful beach, umami is the best restaurant
Qatar- Great coordination of the transport from and to the island. Water Taxi is definitely an experience - Very nice, helpful and friendly staff - Beautiful beaches & photo locations - Water Villa is a wonderful experience to stay at. You can go snorkeling right out the door, we saw many fishes, a seasnake, stingrays and white tip reef sharks - Golf Cart transports helps to get around the island with ease - Clean rooms - Exceptional international breakfast buffet
United States of AmericaIt was perfect! I didn’t want to leave! The staffs were sooo nice! The food was amazing esp Allegeria! They clean twice a day and are so efficient! I will defiantly be coming back
NigeriaPrivacy of each villa is superb. There are so many restaurants, each with different themes and spectacular experience, you won’t have enough time to dine in all of them. All kind of water sports are available but ofcourse depending on the weather. The staff are very friendly and kind. Spa is above expectations. They also have a kids club and kids food menu and buffet food in the Resturants.
CanadaStaff was great, clean island - which is very large actually.. they have buggies running every 10 mins , very convenient. Lounge near airport was great. Overall very nice hotel.
SingaporeStaff, food, and just everything. They were absolutely wonderful and we had the best time of our lives on our honeymoon. Ivan, Se-eing, Vi-vian, Yuki, Mohamed, Alauddin, Rabesh and many more were incredibly helpful and sweet. They made us feel incredibly important and made our stay even better. The food was impeccable and everyone remembered us each time we visited their restaurants.
United States of AmericaEverything else was perfect. The landscape, the villas, the staff, the food. This was our best holidays ever, period. We're just hoping we can come back!
United KingdomFantastic resort with excellent service and great facilities. Well kept, large and beautiful island with superb beaches.
