Absolutely impeccable service
While guests were complimentary about almost all aspects of their stay on the island, it was the service that many singled out as the defining feature. It was one thing to have an amazing location and facilities, which they said the resort had, but to them the true test was the service. They described the staff as impeccable with the obsessive attention to detail that was the true mark of a luxury property.
positive:
Faultless food at all the restaurants
Again and again guests compliment the food offered by the islands many restaurants. Some had maybe been a little apprehensive before arriving, since there are no other dining options other than those on the island. They needn't have worried, since there were pretty much no negative reviews of the food. It was said that the chefs would also try to accommodate guest's dietary preferences and requirements if possible.
positive:
Excellent diving and snorkelling in the area
Though it was mentioned that the coral closest to the island has been bleached, there were certainly many great dive sights nearby. Guests tended to take a charter, since the locals obviously knew where the best coral and other sealife was to be found. They were definitely not disappointed, saying that it was some of the best diving they had experienced anywhere.
