"Overall, I'd say the stay was fine. I had gone for 3 nights with my wife and 3y old. Property is gorgeous and they offer lots of activities to keep you engaged (albeit quite expensive). All the activities we undertook were great. Friendly staff, decent emphasis on safety, etc. Scuba diving with their instructor, Sam was especially good if you're a beginner. The spa is very good. The food was pretty average. Everything we ordered was usually a disappointment. Not at all 5* quality. Meal service was also typically very slow. Cocktails and drinks were average at best. The room itself was fine for the most part. Direct access to the beach and generously sized. Bathrooms were okay. The worst part was dealing with the cashier Sathish. On the final night when I went to clear the bill for activities (nearly 1500 usd) he kept making a hue and cry about a few bills/notes of 25 dollars saying these were old or worn out. This was right before our anniversary dinner. The guys attitude and reluctance to give in was a severe mood dampener. I let them know while checking out the next day too (politely) but Sathish had bloodshot red eyes and couldn't really care less about he he had made a guest feel. The TAJ told me they'd be sending a feedback form but after I narrated my disappointment on check out, I think they chose not to send it :) Overall, for the money, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find something better. We just took this because of the Taj brand. Likely wouldn't go back."

"Great experience and service. Beautiful property. "

"The resort is in excellent location and has all facilities on site. Once you are on island you no need to go for anything as it was all inclusive everything was included. Cleaning of the property was excellent. They clean multiple times in a day and facilities in property are also good. "

"Property was good and since the island was small there was no question of non walkable. There are small shopping places around and within hotel as well there is a shop. Have decent food options at the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and accomodative."

"Stunning"

"My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of staying on this small, beautiful island and can say with confidence that it was one of the best holiday experiences of our lives. The intimacy of this tiny island was exactly what we were looking for - it felt like our own private paradise! Every inch of the island was beautifully maintained and the setting was straight out of a dream. One of the highlights was definitely the house reef. Amazing snorkeling was just a short swim from either your room or the beach! The diversity of the marine life was incredible and bountiful, including colourful fish, turtles, rays and small (and big) sharks. It felt like having our own private aquarium right on our doorstep! We even had the good fortune to witness dolphins playing and jumping from the panoramic view from the gymnasium. The food was another standout, with the buffet style breakfast providing a huge variety of food to cater for ever pallet and was very impressive considering the island’s small size. Each evening meal was also a feast for the senses, prepared to perfection and served with a smile. What truly made this trip exceptional, however, was the staff. The service was faultless and everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive. They took the time to get to know us and tailored everything to make sure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Attention to detail was remarkable and it was clear they genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable."
