Went here for my wife and I’s honeymoon. The views were breathtaking. We loved our water villa room and we enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset. We were welcomed with a happy honeymoon sign on our bed right when we checked in. I wouldn’t mind staying in our room the whole time because the views were always beautiful to enjoy. All the employees here were friendly and welcoming. I also enjoyed how our butler, Ahsan took care of every request we had. He also had made reservations for our itinerary for the rest of the trip. Thank you Ahsan! Overall, I loved the stay here and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you SO hotel for making my wife and I’s first trip very memorable. Thank you!
