It's late March 2025 and we have just returned from 8 nights on Banana Island (a couple aged 55 and 62), and enjoyed it immensely. We knew beforehand that it was during the month of Ramadan so not all facilities would be open - some of the restaurant options on the island were closed and most you needed to eat inside. On mainland the shops in the malls were all closed during the days but you could wander through them. This had the advantages of it being a bit quieter and we got 2 nights free! The temperature (mid to high 20s) was perfect for us and the pool/sea were warm enough to swim in - although there were signs about jellyfish being possible in the sea so stuck mainly to the pools. It was a bit blowy a couple of days but didn't present too much of an issue for us - fortunately the catamarans were still running so we took the opportunity to explore the mainland - taking the earlier staff boats. The range of activities on Banana Island was phenomenal .. not many being used at this time but great to have them there. We can't comment on how noisy it would be in full season but if that but if that bothers you (which it would us) go for the deluxe, rather than premier, accommodation as a minimum on the ocean side of the island. The staff really made it for us - so genuinely friendly and helpful - thank you to them all!!!

Beautiful but terrible pool and service

Resort is amazing, can’t fault the island and what it offers…..two big issues however. We stayed in a 2bedroom villa with private pool…the pool was a disgrace, loose tiles lying on bottom of pool, tiles coming off all around the pool, in certain places I could put my fingers deep inside where the grout should have been and the pool was caked in mould and dirt. Considering this is a £1000+ per night resort it’s embarrassing how bad the pool was presented to us….i would go as far to say that it was dangerous for our kids. The decking around the pool was also in a shocking condition, we had to get them to screw down decking as my kids had tripped and cut their feet on it ! The staff were quick to try and resolve the issues but the problem is….it should never have been presented in that state in the first place !!! Staff in the Indian restaurant were also rude and we had terrible service on both occasions we were there….at one point we had starters, mains and desert plates on the table because they couldn’t be bothered to clear the table !!! Majority of staff were great and they couldn’t do enough for us but breakfast is another issue….everytime we went there were no tables clean and at one point I counted 7 tables that needed cleaned so either there isn’t enough tables or not enough staff. We stayed in villa 5018 so please whoever stays here next check the pool and you will see what I mean…..we enjoyed our 8 day stay but the above issues really took the shine of it for us

Great experience, lovely people, there is a lot that can be improved. Communication with restaurant staff wasn't the best. Zero entertainment at night, nothing to do. Great place but alot of improvements needed on various fronts. Food and drinks are very expensive not worth the money you pay for what you het in return.
