Adaaran Club Rannalhi - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely 9 night stay on this small island resort. We stayed in a room for the first 5 nights and then treated ourselves to an upgrade in a sunset water bungalow for 4 nights. Both types of accommodation were clean and comfortable. The bungalow added something a bit special with a glass floor to watch the fish. A visit to the spa for a Balinese massage was lovely. The food served in the buffet restaurant was very good and each day there were plenty of options to choose. The staff were all very helpful. Our waiter, Shareef, was excellent. Visam made the transfer to our bungalow completely seamless. The snorkelling was very good. Yes, much of the coral has died but there is still an abundance of sealife including sharks, rays, turtles and triggerfish. The shark feeding sunrise cruise is a must-do. The only downside of our stay is a large resort development that is being built close to one side of the island. On some days, the noise of the building works was very noticable. This is beyond the control of the Adaaran resort, but it is a shame that such a large development is being constructed so close to an exisiting resort."
