Positives : Welcome coconut drink on arrival and very quick check in . All staff are positive, smiling and respectful. Special mention to Millie who listened to our holiday hiccups and made holiday experience better. Even decorated our villa with flowers and champagne which was unexpected and wonderful. She didn’t have to do that, thank you Millie. Chef Lucky in Bar-Kuda beach bar cooks some wonderful food, beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Staff behind beach bar Albert and Jessica, thank you for your warm welcome and topping them drinks up . Lifeguard at beach bar always friendly, always smiling. Island is long and very green with different birds, animals and lakes. We found that there’s lots to do here. Tennis, volleyball, water sports, ping pong, billiards, darts, etc. It also has a gym that is well equipped. Spa treatment was good and reasonably priced. You can go to local villages to explore if interested in local culture. We hired taxi/ guide for couple of hours which was enough. It was $20 per hour. Premium villa was spacious, light and in good walking distance to amenities . Jacuzzi was nice and decking at the front of the villa was large with sun beds, table and chairs. Direct access to the beach from villa was perfect. Beach was clean and waters clear. Plenty of fish to see and baby shark often comes to shore to swim around . There’s some broken corals in the water but plenty of new growth. Rocky side of the island produces some wonderful waves for pictures . Beautiful sound to listen to while eating at the restaurant. Beach cocktails party was nice touch. House DJ is very good, producing great mix adding fantastic atmosphere to the evening. Not so positives : Island is on the other side of equator so you will need to take a domestic flight, which fly 3 times a day. Somehow between resort and our tour operator communication got lost and we hadn’t been booked in for 4.30 flight and instead had to wait for 12hrs for next one at 23.20. After an easy direct flight from London it wasn’t great news, which ment a total 48 h in travel . I’m blaming both resort and our tour operator for this miscommunication. There’s 15+ cats and kittens on resort island and the only reason it’s a negative point because they are hungry and have to scavenge for food in rubbish. It’s an island and cats can’t go anywhere, surely it will be enough left overs from buffet to feed them. They are hungry and it’s negligence to leave them to breed between themselves as it will create bigger problem overtime. Canareef is a nature reserve and it’s a shame to see poor animals suffer. Housekeeping is hit and miss. In our case mostly miss . Unfortunately one keeper allocated per villa and we only found out difference when he was on his day off and different boy came to clean . What a disappointment to have a lazy keeper and forever asking him for towels and to change our bedding which in over two weeks was only changed 3 times . Bathroom floor

An absolutely amazing trip! We went for our belated honeymoon and birthday celebration. The staff is what truly makes this experience so incredible; everyone was super friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Millie, Bishnu, Indri, and Win for making this trip so memorable and relaxing. I come from a hospitality background in Switzerland and here are a few points to highlight: I highly recommend staying on the sunset side, as the sunrise side is full of reefs and difficult to swim in. If you want to be closer to the clearer beach, aim for rooms in the 500s. If you want to be close to the reception and restaurants, aim for rooms in the 100s. We changed our room to the 100s because the location was much more convenient. Also, rent a bike for the whole stay, but you can request a buggy when going to farther destinations. There are lots of mosquitoes, so make sure to bring bug spray, and of course, sunscreen. We overly packed our clothes, but it’s really unnecessary, as the place is very hot and humid. So, pack lightly! :) Lastly, it’s a must to sign up for the private tour! They’ll take you to see the dolphins and to the perfect spots for snorkeling. It's advisable to bring your own snorkeling gear and aqua shoes; renting them can incur daily charges. Drinking water is free. Also, you can upgrade to a half-board, full-board, or even all-inclusive meal plan each day (you just have to pay in advance at the cashier). We chose to include only breakfast and varied our other meals based on how we felt that day. Meera Bar offers excellent food, so dining there or opting for room service is also recommended.
