It’s been more than a week since we came back, and I find it hard to start writing a review coz it feels like such a remote dream to me now. I miss the serene atmosphere there and the hospitality(but not excessive)of our hosts. The meals were amazing considering the variety of food ingredients were limited due to the nature of the island, so great thanks to our chef Aton. The crab hunting was such a fun experience. Yo was so agile and skillful in the jungle and the crabs could not have turned into a gourmet dinner without him. Regrading touring around the island, after breakfast will be an ideal time as the tides are relatively low. I would suggest (facing the bungalows) go clockwise so that you would have a little challenges crossing the falling tree trunks and boulders etc.,at first, but the trip gets easier and you would come across some fine sandy beaches when getting near to the bungalows from another side, where you will have the urges to jump into the sea for a swim or snorkeling. It’s a long way to get to the island, but Ira would give you all the info and help you need. Make sure to stay long enough to relax and enjoy some peaceful reading time before you head back to the bustling cities.

Perfect island paradise with the most amazing and welcoming staff. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at ease. Everything is paid for on card at the end of the stay which made it really easy. We stayed in a standard villa which was very comfortable with a huge futon. We had a perfect view of the sea for sunset. We did the island hopping and initially thought the price was 1,200,000 was per person however the price was per boat and as there were another 2 people we each paid 400,000 each which was excellent value for a full day of island hopping. We also rented a paddleboard for the day which was good fun.

Everything was PERFECT. The food was the best, always plentiful, delicious and fresh! I would have taken the cook home if I could. Everyone went above and beyond.

Everything, I repeat, everything (resort, team, food, organisation, cleanliness) is fabulous. The island itself is a true paradise: peace, relax, exceptional sea. But a special ingredient is added to all this. The owner Claudine (even remotely) is always present: she helps, solves, simplifies. And she coordinates a team of exceptional workers: always smiling, available and ready at all times to make you feel good. Honestly, I have taken many holidays around the world (with my husband and two little girls) but I have never met such an efficient owner and such loving and attentive staff (never intrusive, but always present). The resort in general is a small pearl in a unique place in the world. But the entire MB staff manages to turn a beautiful holiday into a unique experience. Score 10 and praise, not being able to give more!

Great island. Great resort. Basic wooden hut with toilet and shower. Even without a fan (there is electricity from around 6 to 10 PM) it does not get too hot. Lovely, clean garden/beach area. Not too many mosquitos. There is Wifi (not everywhere, but it works). Good food, great host (Deni - contact him with whatever question you have, f.e. transport to/from the island). Enjoy the turtles, the fishes, the sand and the coconut :-).
