"Keeping in mind the value for money, this was our review of a 5 day stay in the over water villa.
The Great:
The property itself carries the weight of this resort. The villa was spacious with amazing views and the flexibility to spend 24/7 in your villa if you wished through room service, swimming, and water activities.
Bar and Food were both great, from friendly staff to an extensive menu and flexibility to make substitutions.
The spa is exceptional, situated in a tree house with breathtaking views and a variety of services.
Seemless transportation from the airport.
Where it fell short:
Construction: While any property requires maintenance, the selling feature of relaxation and privacy in your villa is lost with workers consistently working on the decks around you or on neighbouring villas with loud power tools. No notice given or reparations for all the disturbances.
Attention to detail: At this price level, and considering there are only 20 guests at any time on the resort, we had experiences like spelling my name wrong, dirty curtains in the villa, staff not following up. Additionally after 2 days of asking for hot sauce with breakfast, or sugar with coffee, it felt odd to have to continue to ask all 5 days.
Consistency: I do acknowledge the resort on an island, and perhaps some ingredients are difficult to get. But ordering the same menu item or drink does get you the same thing every day. For example drinks blended or not, quesadilla meat flavour, and sides."
