the location was very convenient near the airport. this helped a lot as i traveled with my family. the staff was warm. the specially decorated dinner table for our anniversary stood out, it was a thoughtful touch. mansoor's attention to detail was really good.
There were charges for many things. snorkeling equipment cost extra even on a snorkeling trip. i also had to pay to use the pool table. the beautiful beachfront room had more of a garden view. The beach was covered by trees.

Magical Getaway!
premium villabeachfront villadolphin cruisealbino dolphin
Our premium two-story beachfront villa had a sundeck and jacuzzi. The villa was super clean. We saw at least a hundred dolphins during the sunset dolphin cruise. Hassan and the crew made it amazing with an albino dolphin sighting.
The all-inclusive package had very limited options. So much of what we wanted required an extra fee.
Dining

The food options included in the all-inclusive package were satisfying! Live entertainment enriched the evenings. The resort provides several restaurants, offering diverse dining experiences and many choices.
Rooms
9/10
The beachfront room was spacious. Waking up to the sound of waves was very relaxing. The room had a great bathroom. But it may need an upgrade.
Location

The boat ride from the airport was brief. The trip took only 10-15 minutes. The transfer was perfectly arranged. Its proximity to the airport means less travel time.
Facilities

The resort offers an everyday program. I recommend the cooking class. The live shows and the movie night were fun. I advise renting snorkelling equipment. You will explore the marine life.

we spent a few days diving and wished we had scheduled MORE time. divemasters were really good. shark dives were some of the best dives we have done in the past 15+years. the buffet seemed like we were on a cruise ship. the staff was friendly and made sure our needs were met. the rooms are spacious and very clean, and we stayed in a beautiful beachfront room with a short walk to the beach.
