We really enjoyed our stay - the service and attention to guests is some of the best we have experienced. We loved the bikes, watersports centre and the spa. The planting and little details in the plant areas on the island are really lovely. We liked our overwater villa size, layout and sunset view (although the new Mandarin Oriental being built nearby slightly detracts). The decor does need an update soon though (eg. Loungers are clunky to adjust, tiles in the pool are a little jagged and the bath is unusable). We liked all the restaurants (especially saffron and soyi), our experience of Origin was less good due to a large table with loud adults and kids and the fish menu wasn’t as good as I was expecting. Champagne generously flowed and was a nice one. We thought the red wine list would benefit from an extra option with a bit more oomph (eg a. Malbec). However overall a really enjoyable holiday.
