We have just returned from this Island, Our overall experience was amazing, We booked an Over Water Suite which was a brilliant choice, they are lovely very spacious and comfortable. With this Suite you are assigned the Rehendhi Restaurant which I have to say is the best, it over looks the sea its very piece full. The food is fantastic something different every night, The smiley chef is great, I wanted to take him home. :) I was pleasantly surprised that we were given branded soft drinks at the bars, although the white wine was nt very nice All the staff on the Island are lovely, there all so polite and courteous nothing is too much trouble. It was my husbands 50th birthday while we were here, on the evening our waiter had decorated our table, made a cake and they all sang happy birthday which was lovely, when we returned to our room our room attendant had decorated our bed, it was a piece of art, truly a lovely experience. The weather when we arrived was heavy rain but that cleared by the morning, the speed boat ride was a little rough but good fun. Most days were cloudy but that did nt bother us as it was still 30 c and when the sun did come out its intense you have to wear high sun factor, we noticed a lot of red people! The Island is very clean the garden staff are always sweeping and clearing. There are a coupe of places which needed attention as you would expect from any resort, one was the sand bank on the beach it had collapsed in one place and the white plastic which was covering it had ripped which looked a bit tatty, but I m sure it won t be long before the maintenance staff fix it, The only 2 things I would say I was peed about was; 1. Unless you've booked with Virgin Holidays you have to pay for Wi Fi, I would've expected this to be included as its an all inclusive resort, now a days it s mostly free in any bar, hotel, restaurant etc, They sell it by the day we paid $16 for 3 days we only wanted it to send a few emails and photos home over a few days, once we bought it we realised you use it by the minute! we thought it would be by the day, so consequently when we left we had 2 days 18 hrs left, so if we d realised we would ve just purchased 1 day, also our wi fi only worked at reception and the surf bar, not on the beach room or our restaurant, we were told it would, we may had used it more if it had worked. 2 We settled our bill then we were going to be charged $5 for a bottle of water, When we arrived we were told that the room staff would leave free water in the room each day, this was the case but small bottles, we used a large bottle on top of the mini bar to brush our teeth, I assumed water is water! All in all we had a great holiday and recommend this resort Thank you very much Anna Patch.
