10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying here. The pool villas are so nice and the staff was very friendly and courteous. Everything about the stay was fantastic. The only issues we had were booking boat transfer and checking in. Apparently you need to contact the property directly to book boat transfer not via Expedia “contact property” feature. You’ll check in at the boat and they inform you your room number. When you arrive to the hotel to get the key they have 15-20 guests they need to introduce the property to but some rooms are already ready, so they should prioritize guests with rooms ready, it was a bit unorganized but otherwise it worked out well. We will certainly be back.

2/10 Poor

Get out.
The only good interaction we had upon arrival was check- in at the port. Baniya was very nice and accommodating. Once arriving to the island, there was an eerie feeling. Inside of the villas were nice, but getting to them were far. The food was not too good. The staff seemed very robotic and don’t really talk much. It felt like a get out moment. There’s one way in and out of the island. I left and booked elsewhere.
