underwhelming stay
slow service unhelpful curtains
the island itself was pretty nice, and the boat trip to get there was ok.
service felt quite slow and a bit disorganized. i asked for a king bed, but i got two beds pushed together instead. the curtains in the room let in too much sunlight, so it was hard to sleep in.

the island itself is impressively clean, especially for a beach resort. david, who assisted around the pool, was attentive and always ready to help. the restaurant i visited provided very high-quality cuisine and service. i appreciated the overall helpfulness of the staff.
The boat transfer to the island was slightly delayed. the rest of the stay was wonderful.

I appreciated the smooth check-in process at the terminal. The boat ride to the island was quick and comfortable. Mr Muthu, my butler, greeted me upon arrival. The two-bedroom villa with a private pool was spacious and well-appointed.

the buffet had everything from an indian corner to a honey station, it was a feast!!!
The buggy ride was not great. The bench cover looked like a patchy mix of black and gray. i think the seat covers need replacing.
