The key features of the hotel is an excellent location, great service and not too many guests.
There are a few plusses and minuses that we want to mention specifically:
+ The hotel is very very quiet
+ The island has only 50 rooms with a maximum of 100 guests - therefore the guests are very well dispersed across the island. We never ever had the impression that there were too man guests in any place - quite to the contrary we very often had the impression that we were alone in our section of the beach etc.
+ The beach is really really nice - white sand, palm trees, ver clean water, well cleaned beach
+ With very few exceptions the service is really good - staff are well trained, very committed and ready to take on any problem you might have. Special thanks to the multilingual guest relations manager Beaand to our waiter Ilham - the two of you really made our stay. Also the barman from Sri Lanka was really nice to us (even speaks some German)
+ The transfer is very well arranged - there is a hotel-specific lounge at the wateraircraft terminal
+ The fitness room is very nice - quite new equipment and good air conditioning
+ The excursions on offer are great and have reasonable prices (turtle tour, manta tour, whaleshark tour) - the excursions are led by the marine biologist of the hotel - Amanda. The excursions are not actively advertised - nicely unobstrusive
