All food and drink venues are included in all inclusive no matter which island you stay on and the food is AMAZING. So are the cocktails. The best all inclusive offering we’ve ever had and we’ve done many 5* around the world. Plenty of a la carte options as well as buffets. We had premium all inclusive which got us some excursions and extra drinks included.

There’s a house reef on both islands, we personally preferred the Dhigurah house reef which was good as that was our island! We stayed in a Lagoon Pool villa. The house reef was a 3 min cycle from our villa and in the morning it was teeming with turtles. There’s also lots of turtles under the bridge around dusk. You also couldn’t go in the water without seeing black tip sharks (we also saw a white tip and and nurse shark). Lots of rays around the islands too, especially eagle rays, but notably a porcupine ray!

I promise to do a proper trip report this week with photos... I’ll post a link here when I do.
