Great hotel, the all inclusive package is excellent, with lots of restaurants to choose from with every taste catered for. Casual dining with pizza to fine dining if you wish. Kunal looked after us very well, as did all the staff in the bar and restaurants. Many thanks

Perfection. That's the best word to describe our 7 night experience at Herritance hotel. Kunal, our butler, was was the most friendly and helpful person we have ever met. He was always available at a moments notice via WhatsApp for any request we had, to book dinner or give us a lift in his golf cart anywhere we wanted on the island! The pool bar has a casual feel, yet we also felt very special when there, again all staff are extremely friendly and genuine, in particular Sakshi & Sheehan and Rohana in the Ralhu restaurant. Lots of restaurants to choose from, every appetite is catered for from casual pizzas to formal fine dining, there's something to suit everyone's taste. The trial scuba-dive was excellent, given we were both nervous and newbies, Ash was helpful and reassuring. There are plenty of excursions to choose from and the dolphin boat ride was excellent. The all-inclusive package is the best we've ever had, literally nothing was too much and any amount of anything was available on request at any time which was lovely but we both need to go back to the gym now! The only downside to this entire holiday is the feeling of dread on the last day when we had to go home and leave this wonderful place if you are reading this and thinking of coming here, Dhoot. You will have the holiday of a lifetime, as we did. Read less
