The reef surrounding the island is simply amazing, particularly the exit next to the water villas (nr. 4) and the ones facing north-west (nr. 5 & 6). Just snorkeling we had the chance to see an incredible variety of fishes and corals, we also swam alongside a turtle and sharks a couple of times! Staff is great, always gentle, kind and willing to help and assist. The food is great both in quality and in variety of offer, we really enjoyed our full board selection. We particularly appreciated the lack of "holiday village entertainment" and the authentic look & feel of the island (preserved but not over constructed). The water villas should be refreshed - they are a gem but furniture is not well preserved and now quite old. Currently the villas have 3 kinds of roof, with different colors and some feature colored fabrics covering some pieces: it's a real pity as they do not look premium and ruin the overall scenery. I hope they are just temporary. Additionally, extra costs are quite a burden, as rates are high and you even need to pay for plain water even if on a full board service.

It is a really nice island to stay with excellent staff and diving centre (especially TOM!). The working people are nice, smily and polite and do their best to make you have a superb stay. Even with rain and storm it looks like paradise except for people who are afraid about rain and waves noise at night ... The only negative point was that on last day : the boat brought us as expected to a sea plane to reach Malé airport but the sea plane didn't bring us to Malé but to another island to pick up passengers without informing us ! As long as the weather was really bad we were sick on board to be forced to face much longer flight time than expected. We should have been informed !
