The food was the highlight of my visit.

Snorkeling with manta rays is a must‑do, and we saw five of them thanks to the helpful guides; the evening activities are entertaining, the pool and beach are beautiful for relaxing, the staff is kind and helpful, the breakfast is very varied, and the pizzas are really good, but the huge dormitory with 32 beds lacks blinds or curtains despite its west orientation, so eye masks are essential; the five showers and the dry toilets are far away, so you shouldn’t be in a hurry at night; the restaurant is refined but not plentiful—lunch offers only one dish with no starters, desserts, or coffee/tea, and the price of FJD 180 is really steep for what you get; Wi‑Fi barely works, though the 4G signal is fine.

Every staff member is incredibly professional and friendly, and the smoking area is so pleasant for non‑smokers; the snorkeling right outside the resort and the manta ray excursions are great, but the meal prices are a bit high despite being excellent and generous.

The location is perfect for spotting manta rays, and the snorkeling off the house reef is also good; the multi‑bedroom is spacious with 32 beds but still clean, and the food was superb, though the bathrooms are far from the sleeping area and the hall has many beds.

The entire property is cozy and clean, including the shared showers and toilets; I stayed in a treehouse and felt very comfortable; the staff were all exceptionally warm and friendly, especially Nina who personally welcomed everyone by name and made us feel right at home; the house reef is great for diving straight into the water; the dining options are varied and cater to everyone; the manta channel trip was also fantastic; I would book here again right away.
