Staying here on vacation, you can not try the seafood, which is excellent prepared here. But in general, the food in the hotel is excellent. But there is something for an amateur. Most of the people here are Arabs, Hindus and Chinese, because a lot of dishes are made with the calculation of their tastes. That is salty and island. But there is a choice for European guests. A large number of fruits are offered - bananas, watermelons, papaya, sweet pineapples.

Here everything has to do with this. The guests pay special attention to the territory of the complex, which is the main highlight of the hotel. There is silence and tranquility here. All beautiful, well-groomed - everywhere grow tropical trees and flowers. The territory is so good that here settled songbirds, chipmunks and mongooses, which are so used to people that they became practically tame. And in the lagoon and do live lizards.

And the service here is decent - administrators are polite and hospitable, and the maids are cleaned daily and on conscience. In general, who wants a paradise holiday - it's worth it to go here.
