        A memorable stay immersed in nature! The resort's serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery, provided a tranquil escape. The highlight? Countless peacocks roaming freely, creating a magical ambiance. Comfortable accommodations, friendly staff, and the symphony of peacock calls made it an enchanting experience. Highly recommend for a peaceful retreat!

        Family friendly with animals roaming freely like gazelles and hamsters - service is super great and staff is friendly. We booked the 4pm tour and it was great but lacking in animal variety perhaps. Big criticism is the outdated room design and features like usb c charging and other things that are norm today. For such a high level hotel would appreciate an interior refresh and fixing of small things like exposed wiring in our fan room, faster email response times (found myself at times emailing too many different email address with many emails to receive a confirmation on a topic) and most importantly the restaurants food quality like Sham and the African restaurant was average - taste was good but expected bit more from a five star hotel

        No words will explain the serenity and quietness of this place. A really hidden gem in our beloved country. The ferry ride was decent and majestic sure to be there on time or al least 10 minutes before to catch the ferry. The moment we arrived to the checkout the hotel staff were so friendly and welcoming providing the best they can offer to us and assisting us during on stay. There are a wide range of activities and spa treatments on the resort. As for restaurants there are 3 on this resort. Amwaj restaurant was closed unfortunately as we wanted to try it, instead we went to Shams which was good and offered variety of Arabic meals. The palm is the breakfast restaurant, they have a nice selection of food and drinks and really liked it. I would recommend to have more food options in this resort since its biggest compared to the two others on the island. Definitely will come back again and highly recommended for families to enjoy their time with their little ones especially with the various family activities such as nature and wildlife drives.

        I recently stayed at this hotel, and I would like to express my gratitude to Harish, who takes care of the room service. His dedication and attention to detail truly made my stay exceptional. My room was always impeccably clean, and he ensured that all my special requests were met promptly and with a smile. Harish is a valuable asset to this hotel, and his kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression on my stay. I want to thank him warmly for his excellent service. I hope to have the opportunity to stay at this establishment again in the future, largely thanks to Harish's outstanding service. Thank you again!

        Everything is fine. The staff is friendly and ready to help. Prices for food and entertainment are enormous. There was a sign in the room saying to keep the balcony door closed, but this is physically impossible to do, because the balcony door lock has not been functioning for a very long time, so the door opens at the slightest draft. There are many signs in the apartment about caring for nature and resources, but it is physically impossible to flush the toilet tank not completely, but partially. Thus wasting water. Territory of resort is not big and there are no way to go beyond it (no routes or paths for walking). But the place itself is a good choice to stay for a couple of days, take jeep-safari, take a break from the bustle of the city.
