My wife and I needed a break to reconnect with the ocean, and we had no idea how amazing our trip would be. We ended up extending our stay by three days, not just for the crystal-clear ocean, fantastic snorkeling and diving, and breathtaking beaches and villas, but mainly because the staff's exceptional service made us feel genuinely welcome and relaxed. The island's natural beauty is among the most stunning we’ve witnessed. The ocean is full of life; every dive revealed something new. The beaches, with their soft white sand and thriving house reef, embody a tropical paradise. Additionally, the island offers stunning views of the stars at night—along with a glowing full moon—and some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets we've ever seen. We experienced a little rain and some windy days with rough seas, but it never impacted our enjoyment. We could always relax and appreciate the ocean from our room's fantastic views or unwind in the numerous comfortable guest areas throughout the main buildings. The villas were both luxurious and cozy, making us feel like we had the entire island to ourselves. We stayed in an overwater villa as well as two different beachfront ones, each offering a unique feel due to their design and location around the island. Each villa offered direct beach access or a part of the house reef, allowing us the choice of relaxing in privacy or socializing with other guests. The staff's hospitality truly stood out as the highlight of our visit. Our host, Shahum, seemed to anticipate our needs and guided us seamlessly through the week, enhancing our entire stay. The engaging Marine Biologist, Azrin, was a joy to converse with about marine life and the environment. Our dining servers knew our tastes and preferences, offering exceptional service—even for a glass of water! Tsiosela delighted us with new food experiences while ensuring we enjoyed our favorites. Susanti's kind attentiveness made every meal special, and the entire bar staff provided warm and generous service. The Blue Journeys Dive Activity Center team was outstanding. They offered the same excellent service, and we connected with them on a personal level. Ali, Anmadey, and especially Jannet (more about this wonderful person in my separate Blue Journeys review) were exceptionally kind, professional, and went above and beyond—not just in diving activities but throughout our visit. They ensured we were always prepared for our adventures and fully enjoyed our stay in paradise. Our experience with them made our trip unforgettable, and it's a must to visit them if you're there.Overall, the Park Hyatt exceeded our expectations. We look forward to returning to enjoy the beautiful area and reconnecting with the wonderful people who made us feel like visiting old friends.
