The resort staff were very attentive. hana served us with excellence. the place is beautiful. A paradisiacal location. it is the most beautiful place i have ever been!!!
I was charged for six nights although i had a 1:45 am flight on friday. i had to be at the airport at 8 p.m. the night before because no late-night boats are available. double-checking departure times versus nights charged is important. in-villa dining was not good. I tried it several times.
