The room facilities are too old, the hot water supply is insufficient, the service is average, and they keep asking for good reviews. The communication and coordination between the departments is not good. One side says yes, and the other side says no. I ordered a package with three meals, and there were a lot of extra meals. The advantage is that it is very beautiful. If you can accept these shortcomings, then this scenery is worth going

The weather in Madai is very important. The sun was shining brightly and the sea was beautiful during the few days I was there. The hotel kept making mistakes in the booking process. I was very dissatisfied. It was much better to communicate face to face after arriving on the island. The restaurant and room service were very enthusiastic. The guy who delivered the supplies at night was very cute.

Apart from the bed, the remaining floor space is barely enough to accommodate a suitcase. Is this 110 square meters?

Awesome resort hotel! Although the bedroom is a little small, the bathroom is semi-outdoor, and there are a lot of ants, everything else is perfect! There is a hot tub by the pool, and the spa is great! The food in the three restaurants is rich and delicious! Snorkeling is below expectations, there are not many live corals, not many fish, and the waves are a bit big. The beach is very white, fine and beautiful!

Very wonderful experience! Henry, the guide of the Marine Laboratory, introduced marine life and conservation actions very professionally, which benefited us a lot. He also taught us snorkeling skills. Thank you very much! The service staff in all departments of the hotel are very warm and friendly! Banyan Tree and Ibru Island are from the same group. Snorkeling can be done on both islands, and you can feel different and see different fish.
