Our hottest destination of the trip and whilst it all looked lovely, the accommodation didn't have air conditioning. Even with 2 fans our nights were uncomfortable. The food was more than disappointing. Very limited lunchtime menu. And the fish appeared to be frozen and was often overcooked.

It was a joy to walk around barefoot here. The fishing village, a very short distance away down the beach made a picturesque, if humbling, contrast to the serenity and luxury of the resort. The resort staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the trip to the lighthouse, the snorkelling and picnic on the sandbar, the sunset dhow cruise and a massage. We were treated to delicious meals, taking full advantage of the seafood offered, and at our final dinner there, the most enormous prawns we'd ever experienced. As a special treat, even ladies' underwear was laundered at this site!

Idyllic and stunning tropical location (white sands, palm trees...) and a restful way to bring our holiday to an end, but lacked atmosphere and felt too much like a package holiday, with staff going through the motions. That said, we are not beach lovers or sun seekers.
