We stayed at Water Villa with Pool for 7 nights in February 2023.
<Snorkeling>
Snorkeling is great, close to the drop off from the room. Be careful not to scratch the coral because the front is quite shallow. There were many types and amounts of fish, and I could see turtles every day. If you don't chase it, it will swim slowly nearby. According to the staff, they have seen up to five at one time.
The area between Water Sports Jetty and Benjarong is the best for snorkeling.
The life jackets provided in the room were useful. Every morning, I entered the sea from my room, but depending on the day, there was a current, and it was difficult to go backwards, so I climbed up from the beach near Benjarong while being gradually washed away, and returned to the land and returned to my room. rice field.
For snorkeling, the half-water Villa on the 501-510 side is the best, but the sound of the waves crashing on the shore was quite loud, and it was a bit negative that I could hear it all the time even in the room.
<Yoga>
There were several free yoga lessons every day (advance reservation required). Participants range from beginners to veterans, with a maximum of 6 to 8 people. There were various venues such as indoors, outdoors, and by the sea. Matt and Manduka

<customer base>
There weren't many Chinese as travel from China hasn't resumed in a big way yet. Most of the Asians are young Korean couples (a little bad manners), and it seems that there are still no Japanese people after Corona.
Many Europeans come with their families, and although there were more Europeans in terms of the number of people, it seems that there are usually more Asians (China and South Korea).
<Meals>
I made it all inclusive. Drinks in the room (soft drinks, beer, tea, coffee, etc.) are included, but some alcoholic beverages in the room and restaurants are charged.
If you had lunch on the first day, there was an extra charge for lunch on the last day (explained by the butler). The food was delicious at every restaurant.
<Room>
The water volume and temperature of the water (2 washbasins) and shower were perfect. Hot water can be stored immediately in the bathtub. I had a water leak on the floor on the first day, but it was fixed immediately.
Bet hoped for twin, but was told that it was not prior request, but made Hollywood twin when we went to room.
The bicycle provided in the room was convenient (no brakes, the type that pedals are reversed, there is a bar in the middle like a men's bike, so tight skirts may be tighter, and I could ride in a dress)
The private pool in the room is sea water.
On the last day, I had a flight departing from Male at 23:40 and requested a boat + domestic flight from the resort. rice field.
