I recently had the most incredible experience at this 5-star resort! The food was absolutely amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. The rooms were top-notch, providing a luxurious and comfortable stay. The attention to detail and the level of service from the staff were exceptional. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot. Highly recommended! 🏖️🍽️🌟

We had a fantastic time during our time here. Special mentions to Hossam and Katie for being so wonderful and helpful throughout our stay. Service was wonderful and available at any time we needed it.
The hotel itself is fantastic- lovely views, clean and complete facility. Our room had a pool and jacuzzi which was nice to relax in at night. The bed was comfortable and it had 2 showers also.
The activities being offered in the facility is also really good- unfortunately we couldn't do parasailing due to the winds but we snorkeled instead.
Overall, nothing bad to say. We both had a lovely time and will definitely come back again. Til next time!

A very cozy hotel in the middle of the ocean. We vacationed as a family with children. Everything about this hotel is wonderful! The rooms are comfortable and cozy, the swimming pool perfectly complements the atmosphere. There is a terrace overlooking the sea. As for the kitchen, this is a separate issue. All food is very verydelicious, prepared to suit every taste. Desserts and sweets were an integral part of the holiday 😊 - it’s just a masterpiece, how delicious everything is. Thank you very much to the staff for the comfort and care and for a wonderful holiday.

It was a wonderful experience to stay here at this luxurious resort. The food was lovely, the service was amazing. We stayed in a beach front villa which had beautiful views all around. There was a private pool too.
The hotel had an island all to itself. There were two jetties. Beautiful coral reefs were present all around the island where one can snorkel. Water sports are also available. There are some planned activities like city tours or cooking or yoga or local folk music and dance which are conducted by the hotel. Some are free and some are paid. One can choose as per convenience. There is a sister island too present just beside the banyan tree island where one can go by a boat. The arrivals and departures from airport are well coordinated.
