Hotel ratings by criteria:
The island is approximately 450 by 250 meters in size, all covered with tropical forest. 56 identical standard bungalows stand around the perimeter of the island, 5-10 meters from the water. Sandy beach around the entire circumference, with the exception of two sections of a couple of tens of meters long, where corals protrude right at the water's edge.
Travel agents give inaccurate descriptions, much of
not listed.
Discos, animations, etc. no and don't : )
There is no gym, but there should be.
Most importantly, there is NO doctor, the nearest one is at the first-aid post on the neighboring fishing island of Feridhoo, which is taken on excursions. Given the presence of corals in the ocean, any living creatures such as moray eels, etc. , as well as potentially traumatic water sports, it can turn into a big problem.
See below for water sports.
- There is NO TV and radio (only at the reception) - on purpose, this is the concept of the hotel, rest from civilization alone with nature

- Meals - There are options for breakfast only, half and full board. The choice of dishes is very limited, not rich at all, but this is logical and explainable by the isolation of the island and the smallness of the hotel.
Glass of freshly squeezed juice $6
glass of wine $9,
bottle of drinking water 1.5l $3.5.
Lunch, dinner - buffet. We had half board, and a dinner for $ 25 with that set of dishes we considered unjustified, we took sandwiches at the bar for $ 7 (on a plate 4 pcs. , Triangles the size of a palm, comes with fried potatoes or rice)
The room has a hairdryer, bathrobes and beach towels. There is no tea / coffee preparation set promised by some descriptions. Cleaning 2 times a day. I especially liked that during the evening cleaning of the roomboy, making up the bed, he folded different figures from the sheet, then a butterfly, then a fish, then
a heart
Wake-up service is funny - if you have a telephone in the room, an employee comes and knocks on the door very insinuatingly and quietly. If you really sleep, you won't wake up for anything.
At the water sports center:
fin rental $4 per day
tube rental $2 per day
mask rental $4 per day
easier to buy and bring your own
pedal catamaran rental $20 per hour,
canoe $18 per hour,
windsurf lesson $50 an hour, $100 for three hours, rent for those who can, like $30 an hour
IMPORTANT:
Irresponsible instructors are natives! Zukher and Abo.
My wife and I took windsurfing lessons. Abo, pushing the board, stuck himself in the pier (he should have learned first! ).
Having barely told the basics, and without explaining and not having worked out the methods of raising the sail and safely falling, Zukher immediately dragged us into the water. Abo was hanging out somewhere in the distance. Half an hour later, when the wife once again flew off the board, the mast with the sail, falling, hit her hard on the head. A woman in water up to her throat, holding her head with both hands in shock from the blow, and that’s it.

leans more strongly, and the instructors did not even think of rushing towards her, so they stood on the shore! If the waves were higher or the depth was 20 cm more, I would be widowed a week after the wedding! It’s good that I myself accidentally noticed that something was not right, but I might not have seen it, because I was busy with my board and sail, which I don’t know how to manage! He himself jumped off his board, swam to it and brought his wife to the shore, but these okhlamons did not move, they remained on the shore, and did not think to rush to save! It seems to have managed with the head, but by the evening, from incorrect manipulations with the sail, the sciatica broke his wife. And it's all for the $200 we paid for the lesson!! !
