Visited this slice of paradise a week ago What a gorgeous location Stayed 5 nights beach pool villa and 5 nights a Ocean pool villa , loved both but I think our favorite was the beach one due to just a few more sun and shaded spots to sit and ease to get to restaurants and not have to rely on buggies to collect you Both rooms identical ,clean , well set out . Beautiful bathrooms especially the out door shower , wonderful comfortable bed , mini bar restocked daily and will swap out what you do not like . We loved phat chameleon and Souq Oven and ate there several times each and cannot fault. We were not the fan of the buffet to be honest That was simply for the reason it had a cafeteria feel , the staff were short staffed and often could not keep up with clearing the tables- which left you there trying to find a table or having to sit at one full of used dishes waiting for someone to hopefully to clear it ( I do not believe that is 5 star service) . Due to no fault of the resort it also showed us the total rudeness of many guests loading up plates ridiculously full of food especially the freshly cut fruit - Thus meant you were often waiting for fruit to be cut up as some rude arse had just piled 20 pieces of watermelon onto their plate It was a once of a life time trip for us and it lived up to our expectations Special thanks to the room cleaning staff , the bar staff and the sunset cruise staff who totally went above and beyond Would recommend to anyone for a truly un forgettable holiday One recommendation for breakfast - have some butter in a dish on ice near the bread instead of waiting sometimes for ages for the overworked fruit guy to serve it to you)
