Staff willingness to help with any request was fabulous. House cleaning was perfect and requests were completed efficiently.
Food was fabulous in Krystal restaurant (as was the service by Kreshmita) and very good elsewhere. For a small island, its amazing what they have achieved. Our only concern was in the buffet restaurant one evening when it was very busy and the food couldnt be replenished quick enough, so choice was limited.
Bar service and choice of premium alcohol was very good, and I only recall re-asking for our drinks once, but they soon arrived. Sanju and Desy always kept us topped up and provided great service.
The island is kept pristine looking by a team of hard workers trimming shrubs amd maintaing the beach. The wildlife was great to see, which we hadnt been expecting.
We came for some rest and relaxation, and the Palace provided that in abundance. If you want to do more activities, then the sister Atol island is well stocked with livelier entertainment and good water sports.
We snorkeled all the reef and had a wonderful adventure. From baby shark within 2 feet of the waters edge, to ray and sharks off the jetty pier it was a fabulous experience. We chose to go on the boat snorkelling trip at $75 per person. The service and safety was very good but the reef location was very poor. The reefs on the island were much much better and free. This left us feeling that we had paid for a boat trip.
Everything considered, the Palace is very good to excellent.
