Highly suggest staying here!

My wife had an amazing stay, we can highly suggest this hotel. The staff are great, location is perfect with a "Tourist/Bikini" beach just nearby along with some nice reefs to snorkel. They also have loungers at the beach for you. Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear is available for free as well. We did the Whale Shark excursion and the pricing was good. The whale sharks were amazing to see but be ready for some crowds. If you plan to stay on Fenfushi this is the best and only place you should look to stay at. If I had to give any negatives it would be the wifi and kitchen. Wifi in the rooms is iffy but in the lobby it was great. The kitchen staff is a bit slow even though you set a specific time to eat, but the food was great when it came out. Bring snacks as the island only has 1 little local shop and they dont have much. And the only place to eat is at the hotel so snacks are nice to have.
