My husband and I came here for our honeymoon over Xmas and had the most amazing time. From arrival, to being shown around by our wonderful island host Mahdi, who really did go above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We couldn’t help but make friends with so many staff here, from the kind and gracious Lagoon host Geetika, to the best omlette maker Promod, and our favourite waiter Bilal who was really helpful. To the bar staff girls, Lia and Dewi who knew when to send our favourite drink (amaretto sours for the win) without us even asking! Another staff member worth mentioning is Jester who’s dancing and fire show skills were beyond amazing and insane, he really was a show stopper! There’s a lovely range of activities to do here but the views itself will really captive you and help you feel at zen. The crows nest dinner and candlelight dinner were also two amazing experiences, alongside the fun shipshape experience! Hopefully, we’ll have the pleasure of returning back in the future, but for now a huge thank you to you all for making this trip so magical, we’ll be taking the best memories back with us. Love, Room 742 xo Read less

We really enjoyed every moment of our 7 days stay in Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort. When we arrived, wonderful and very kind staff welcomed us with smiles, refreshing juice, wet towels and lunch. We have all praise for our island host Juliana who was always there for us, she was sending us daily activities and offers of the resort. We stayed at beach villa which was beautiful, large and cleaned twice a day. We liked our beach the most, sea is clear and calm with incredibly beautiful blue colors and colorful fishes. We were watching sunrise from our beach which was awesome. At the centre of the resort there is wonderful infinity pool and Captains Bar with awesome drinks, we would highlight refreshing fresh juices like watermelon, pineapple and orange juice, they are perfect! The whole staff from Captains bar is very polite and welcoming, especially friendly and gorgeous Susong. We are also very satisfied with the food, there is a big variety of international kitchens at the main Bageecha restaurant, we really enjoyed eating tropical fruits, pancakes and homemade ice cream. All praise to very kind Kyaw who makes the best homemade pasta and omelette, they are very delicious! Before going to every meal we were welcomed by wonderful and always smiling staff, one of them is Geethika. In Villa Nautica you can enjoy playing various sports such as basketball, tennis, voleyball, football, pool, ping pong… There is also indoor and outdoor gym. Outdoor gym is located at one of the most beautiful beaches of the resort: Shipshape beach, we took perfect photos at this beach which amazed us by its natural outstanding beauty. Buggy car service was available 24/7 but we didn’t use it often because we really enjoyed walking and exploring this beautiful island. All in all we choose the ideal destination for our honeymoon, we had perfect stay here and we will definitely return in the near future! Read less
