The Manager (Maurizio) and his staff were so chilled, flexible, friendly, and accommodating to our large group. My wife & I had the Harusi Room #6 upstairs and it was very nice, with a fan and AC, a safe for valuables, and with a great view looking east over the Indian Ocean. The bathrooms were all stocked with high-quality shampoos & body wash by Zuri Botanicals. The food was top notch with a variety of choices for both breakfast & dinner (we were on half-board). Our first day they gave us a great deal on lunch for everyone with competitive prices so we didn't have to go out looking for a restaurant that was open in the heat of the day. The pool is small, but adequate and you can't beat the view. The waiters were very good, taking a large # of orders and getting them all correct and the food all came out at the same time. We liked everything we tried and I loved the soups! We went on a dolphin tour / snorkeling trip our last morning that did not disappoint, although there were only 2 or 3 other boats out there. If it's busy, you may want to reconsider & look at reviews online on Google maps, as I'm sure it can get quite hectic and even unsafe for swimmers & snorkelers as they try to jump in with the dolphins. The snorkeling was so-so, but no fault of the hotel's. We did not spend very long there as we'd gotten up at 6:00 am, left at 6:20, and were back at the hotel by 9:30 in time for breakfast, but the water out there was incredibly clear and there was a decent variety of fish & corals. I will add that perhaps due to the season, there was a lot of seaweed on the beach and also in the shallow water, and be careful of sea urchins not too far out - either bring proper reef shoes or only go out a few meters unless you are swimming (it was also not Spring tides / full moon or new moon so water levels didn't change much between tides). Sadly, this is a reflection of overfishing and something would have to be done that was community-led to reverse the ecological imbalance. That being said, I did swim / walk occasionally all the way out to the reef & breakers (about 600 m?), then swam out beyond to the deeper corals and out there I did not see many sea urchins past the reef. Inside the reef there were lots of urchins, but also a good variety of small fish and the coral looked fairly healthy.
