Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Safari Island was paradise for us, with easy access to the reef for snorkelling. Facilities were well spread out. With more than 100 guests, the resort experience felt very private. The food was exceptional and 'half board' (full international buffet breakfast and dinner) was enough for us, with our own fruit and snacks. The chefs at the buffet stations were affable and friendly. The range and quality of food is excellent. The tables had linen tablecloths and napkins and attentive wait staff in a relaxed atmosphere. When required, management were responsive and personable. They kindly accommodated our request for a change of room location. The overwater bungalows are a great design, with much privacy and sound insulation. The glass bottom coffee table gave exceptional visibility to fish swimming underneath. The turn-down service and beach towel replacement in the afternoons was a lovely touch, as was the special honeymoon greeting. Absolutely heavenly.

PARADISE IN MALDIVES
We were a group of 14 pax. 10 of us are all Scuba Divers. We stayed from from a different dive resort for 3 days just to dive and our 3 days here at Safari Island to relax. When the first time we saw this paradise island from our boat, We were like, "WOW! We wished we just stay here all the way for 6 days straight" that was just the first glimpse of the resort. When we experienced the resort, We really wanted to extend our vacation but it can't be done because of our businesses back home. I would highly recommend this resort. Very clean, Fine sand, Great food, Fabulous Island Experience with Great marine life. (We saw a lot of Black Tip Sharks and Sting Rays by just walking by the shore and at night, 4 huge Nurse Sharks and 5 Huge Marble Rays.. Crazy isn't?)

Semi-water bungalow
We read other guests review and chose to stay in a semi-water bungalow which was the right choice since overwater bungalows were very far from the reception, restaurant, and the dive center. The sea life was abundant here and we were happy with what we saw. Nonetheless, we would be quite reluctant to recommend this resort to friends since we discovered that the lunch at this resort was at 12:30 and dinner was at 19:30 which was unusually late for us. My mom has diabetes and she normally has to eat around 11:30 and 18:30. We asked if the resort could provide some fruits or light snack before their scheduled meal time; they said yes but we had to pay extra. This was even when we were on full board. We protested that we already paid for all meals and their scheduled time was unusual but they could not care less. We ended up paying a lot more for food due to their late schedule. Also, they asked us to settle all the bills one day before departure. We had no problem about that but when we went to the front desk at 20:00 to make payment, they said payment could be made only after 21:00 hour. We were repeatedly surprised by their strange schedule. They also includes 3 items not ordered by us in our bills, so be careful. Lastly, the staff at the restaurants, dive center, and crew members were polite and helpful. Lot of staff members at the reception, however, were not hospitable. Not a single smile on their face since our arrival until departure. We will not return.

雖然有6-7年的酒店，但仍然感覺好舒服，沒有污染，周圍有很多海洋生物
很整潔原生態，有很多海洋生物，沙灘邊就有小鯊魚、魔鬼魚等，浮潜出海很淺水就已經非常美，還看到海龜，聽說在餐廳對出浮潛會看到鯨鯊，可惜自己沒去那邊就要走了，下次會再去，全包套餐勝價比更高
