Location is amazing

Privet pool isn’t completely private for beach villas

The staff was great, the food was great, private villa with pool was great, facilities was mostly great, view is nice and unique, not many guests on the island for it's size so you can spread out and relax, good wifi

Why you charge hotel guests separately for the boat ride? Boat ride to the island should be included in room price. The facilities was kind of a mixed bag. The island is clearly still being developed so depending where you are on the island there might be noise from generators or bad smell in the air. Luckily our room was away from this so it did not impact us but you clearly notice it on the way to the room. Most of the facilities are nice and as you would expect though and the room was very nice. It's an artificial island so the sand is not as smooth as you would expect, water was very clear and clean though. There are only two major restaurants for dinner (one Indian and one Greek), the food especially in the Indian one was great.

In general everything was excellent

The AC system is really not helping the villa to get cold, I couldn’t sleep since it was really hot inside the villa

The check-in process was easy. The room was clean, huge, and looked new. The location was good. The staff were welcoming and nice. The food quality exceeded expectations. The welcoming cake was fresh and tasty. Upon return, the luggage and cars were ready with the AC cooling, which was appreciated. Overall experience was positive, and the reviewer would return.

The spa was disappointing, not up to high standards, and felt overpriced. Bathrooms and locker areas were not clean. Delays during the boat ride back due to a large family, causing a late arrival without any apologies. Suggestion for large families (over 10 people) to have a separate boat to avoid delays for others. Unprofessional conduct from staff fighting in front of guests on the boat, which disrupted a peaceful departure from the island.

I love Anantara resorts because you are guaranteed exceptional services and facilities. We enjoyed the small pool in the villa and felt the beach was almost private for us. The food at the restaurants was delicious and everyone working there was super friendly.

The logistics to go and return is why I didn’t give this resort a 10 out of 10. You don’t receive clear guidelines on what you should do and because of the waiting for the luggage, the trip to and from lasted 90 mins each way.

perfect location, nice view.. quite and relaxing

1. the transfer by bout wasn’t good experience.. its a small bout with only few seats outside. the inside seats are very hot because their is no AC. 2. I suppose to have someone talk to me via WhatsApp to support us during our stay but this never happened. 3. there is a door from the pool directly to the toilet it was looked and I have to call 3 times till someone come to unlock it. other than this its a great please

The villa that we stayed in was amazing but even more so the friendliness of the staff was beyond expectations. I was assigned a personal host, Aziza, who helped book restaurant reservations, spa appointments and any buggy transportation to get us around the island - she really made the stay special. Swe, who was working at the front desk, created some lovely sand art on the steps of our villa wishing my wife a happy birthday. Joseph was our buggy driver and helped us get around. All in all, every member of staff we encountered was great!

The restaurants could be a bit better

We had such a lovely stay at the Anantara World Islands Resort. The suite was decorated for our anniversary with complimentary little touches. It was spacious and had its on private pool and access straight to the beach just beyond. The Greek restaurant served lovely food and the walking track around the hotel was great for a little exercise. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and our host, Monica went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay. Thank you!

Nothing.

Amazing! A different experience altogether

Toilets did not have door! and Mirrors there were placed for 6ft+ people😜😜😜

The care you receive by the staff is amazing! Special thanks to Aziza and the rest of the staff we really had a joyful experience

Confirmation on having late check out would be great so that we know we can enjoy the sea and the pool instead of waiting in the room for the car to take us back to the lobby for checkout, while we were informed it’s not possible to have late check out we anyway got an hour and half waiting for the car, we could enjoy more instead ☺️
