"Absolutely amazing, this resort really is something special. We stayed in a room over the water for 11 nights. Luckily, we were allocated the room at the very end of the jetty. Rooms are allocated on an availability basis, we would have been happy with any of them. It’s the staff who make it, nothing is a problem & everyone knows their job. This is a very well led & run resort. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Staff all deserve a mention, there are many please take this as a collective thanks you to everyone who helped make our stay so special. Great restaurant, fresh fish cooked with love every night. Breakfasts are 3 course so really sets you up for the day. You can swim from the room at high tide. The reef is 200m out on the edge of the bay. Swimmable & they have created a pontoon or take out a kayak. Visible was great, crystal clear most days. Sunset from the end of the jetty are a great way to start the evening & handily there is a bar at the end of the jetty. We moved to a room on the hillside for the final three nights. This was great as a different experience. The private plunge pool is a very special touch. Get used to living with wildlife; monkeys, millipedes & so many birds. Great communal pool and it’s such a small resort than nothing ever feels crowded. At times were the only people using the pool or the only people on the reef. We took a one day snorkelling trip into Komodo Park booked through the resort. We saw turtles, a manta ray & much more"
