We recently stayed at the residence in a water villa with our own pool room 315 if you want to enjoy the house reef then the rooms in this area are the best, the villas are very spacious with a separate living room and a massive bathroom with an inside and outside shower his and hers sinks and a large freestanding bath, minibar is stocked every day and fresh water bottles were provided plus tea/coffee. Our housekeeper was Aayesha who was lovely room was spotless and every evening she came with freshly baked cookies, our bed was decorated on our arrival in red flower petals and during our stay we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary where they left us a bottle of wine and wine glasses decorated our bed again saying Happy Anniversary, ran us a bubble bath with red flowers shaped in a heart made us an anniversary cake (and presented this when we dined in the French restaurant whereby they decorated the table with a red heart) Rasal at the beach bar made us a special sunset anniversary cocktail and provided tapas style nibbles, we had breakfast in the room one morning this was was delivered and set up with great care and attention to detail. Jaavid the restaurant manager was always welcoming the whole of the staff in the dining room restaurant were attentive and excellent (too many to mention) Whilst dining in the French restaurant Jaavid had arranged for us to feed the sharks such an amazing experience. Food and service in all restaurants was excellent we ate at the Chinese and Italian on the other island too. We did the dolphin sunset cruise which was amazing the staff at the dive centre were incredible my husband did his PADI dive certificate whilst there, we snorkelled in the sea and outside our water villa, plenty of house reef, the beach bar made a smoothie of the day every day and would bring you one whilst you were sat round the pool/on the beach they also brought fresh fruit or ice lollies too we had a swim up bar which was nice to sit and have a drink at. Rasal, Ramesh and Subhabrata at the beach bar all fantastic the barbecue on the beach was fantastic and the chef and his team were great. Check in was seamless big thanks to Archana, Saaidhu and Yusuf nothing was too much trouble, big thanks to all the staff who drive the buggies in particular Masum who stopped to show us the turtles on the bridge, big thanks to Jaavid he was amazing. The staff who picked us up from the airport and got us safely to the island were great too. Lots to do on the 2 islands we spent 6 days there had great weather and would return in the event if bad weather there is the library bar where they had a pool table and games a a dvd selection so you could take dvds back to your villa but we never needed this. The staff make this resort and greeted you with their hand on their heart which we found endearing.
