Amazing Hotel. Serenity at its best! The room and amenities are outstanding. The bed is so comfy ! The sheets and towels are extremely of good qualities !can't fault anything regarding the beautiful welcome from the landing to the speedboat until our arrival. The whole hotel is very clean spotless! The only thing I was very disappointed with their food quality in the Saffron restaurant! It was a Thai cuisine, I am sorry to say it's was below standard. I returned the plate and explained my concerns, but came back the same from the kitchen, and I was on half board. The menu I chose was a La carte, a set of 3 courses, but only one set for HB guests,which was free of charge Anything else you have to pay subsidiaries, which is quite expensive. I did choose with extras of Usd 48/- But I was not satisfied with the menu I left my feedback with the waiters. I was expecting much higher from the category of this hotel and the way I was impressed with everything else. Please note that if it's a buffet, no charges! .Apparently, not every is a buffet, so you are forced to eat in the restaurant where there are not a lot of choices !. I felt a little bit cheated.Only breakfast is a full buffet every day. I think the hotel should really look into these other's than everything else is amazing.

A very cozy hotel in the middle of the ocean. We vacationed as a family with children. Everything about this hotel is wonderful! The rooms are comfortable and cozy, the swimming pool perfectly complements the atmosphere. There is a terrace overlooking the sea. As for the kitchen, this is a separate issue. All food is very verydelicious, prepared to suit every taste. Desserts and sweets were an integral part of the holiday 😊 - it’s just a masterpiece, how delicious everything is. Thank you very much to the staff for the comfort and care and for a wonderful holiday.

It was a wonderful experience to stay here at this luxurious resort. The food was lovely, the service was amazing. We stayed in a beach front villa which had beautiful views all around. There was a private pool too. The hotel had an island all to itself. There were two jetties. Beautiful coral reefs were present all around the island where one can snorkel. Water sports are also available. There are some planned activities like city tours or cooking or yoga or local folk music and dance which are conducted by the hotel. Some are free and some are paid. One can choose as per convenience. There is a sister island too present just beside the banyan tree island where one can go by a boat. The arrivals and departures from airport are well coordinated.
