This was one of the best trips we've ever made, not just the destination and people we met, but also thanks to the hotel and some of its staff who really made a difference during our 2 week stay. The beds were excellent (for somebody who had back surgery 3 times). The WIFI was nearly everywhere (even router in the room) and of better quality than most other destinations we've been. They organized 2 free snorkelling trips by boat per day and you get to see rays, turtles, sharks,.. although they even come near the floating bar and bungalows! The food is delicious, mostly spicy and oriental, but also daily choices of regular western food for those (like me) who don't fancy spicy (roast beef, lamb, duck,..). Special thanks to: Azif (our young friendly restaurant waiter), Prianka and Ramesh, 2 extraordinary bartenders (try their special!) and Haki (receptionist and snorkelling guide). Not sure how many visitors pay the full price but we certainly got a great discount else couldn't afford to come there! I believe the pricing of excursions and other extras (like the spa) are excessive (even for western standards) and would attract much more customers if significantly lowered (never saw anyone in the spa). Anyway, it doesn't affect the rating which in our mind is near perfect!
