Now more details. We were at the end of April until the beginning of May. Travel agency Transaerotours, flew respectively by a transaero flight, the delay at departure was about 40 minutes, and when they returned about an hour (excellent for a charter). The flight was normal (about 9 hours), the food was tolerable, practically did not shake, rating 4+. Transfer: upon arrival, they met the luggage to the boat, on departure, they also met at the boat, they showed the check-in counters, they brought the luggage to them.
Customs: alcohol is taken away (I don’t know how it was for you, but for me it was a matter of principle to bring something) back in Moscow I bought a small bottle of Pepsi, made a hole in the bottom, poured Pepsi, heated the lid in boiling water and carefully removed it so that the tear-off ring was not damaged (not for everyone bottles, this method is suitable, it is more reliable to cut the neck of the bottle with the help of wire cutters), I bought a two-liter Pepsi, poured a liter from it and poured whiskey there, closed it with a previously removed cap with a ring. The bottle was like from a store, I threw it into my luggage and, to distract attention, a couple of plastic bottles of drinking water. Everything went off with a bang, even the luggage did not open at customs. I think a more reliable option with juice packaging, but it would take more time.

The hotel itself is a fabulously green place, from edible bananas, mangoes, sea coconuts and some other water rose, if I understand correctly, it is quite edible and coconut palms are everywhere, sometimes I recommend looking up in a strong wind.
The service is excellent, they never burst into the room in the morning and do not wake up with their cleaning, they tactfully wait not far. a bunch of different towels for all occasions are changed once a day, the bed is made twice. Restaurants are friendly and welcoming.
By the way, if you dine at your own expense, excellent cuisine! Some of the same dishes were eaten in a common restaurant and a separate one - there is a difference. Dinner for two averages $40-60.
The food in common restaurants is not to say that there is a great variety (we probably snickered), but you won’t leave hungry.
For some reason, we were not settled in a standart room, but a Deluxe room, it is much larger than the standard one, the only minus is the music thumps slightly in the evening, it didn’t bother me, but my girlfriend didn’t really like it.
A big plus is the tea facilities in the rooms, it is sometimes very nice to drink tea or coffee without running to restaurants, but sitting on your terrace. Safe in the room is free of charge.
Animals: parrots, bats or foxes, but I didn’t understand large ones, lizards, herons, and small birds. From fish sharks, stingrays, moray eels and other fish of all stripes and colors, they can be seen with an ordinary mask and snorkel, for turtles you have to scuba dive. Well, crabs.
There were almost no Russians before May. On May holidays, about 15-20% of tourists were Russians.

Okay, I would like to write a lot more, but .....bottom line: the hotel and the rest are just great, you won’t regret a trip.
