Nature and class put together making one of the most pristine places i have ever been. 90 minutes of plane ride, another 2 hours by land and an hour of boat ride pays off when you arrive. Lucky to have reservation during off peak season and just after a storm with only a few guest around. Should be at least 3 nights to maximize your stay and adventure. Choose the room/villa that has an access to open water and be able to snorkel and appreciate the corals etc. Food is great! It was an experience of an escape from the busy life of metro.
We went here for a wedding which was so beautiful and intimate. The staff are very friendly and speak very good English. There are many activities to do to keep you busy. From hiking to scuba diving, snorkelling and kayaking or simply relaxing in their beautiful infinity pool, it is a lovely place to rest and rejuvenate. There is no TV so you can take in nature however there is wifi available which is quite strong. The place is just beautiful and a way to see nature at it's best. The rooms are comfortable with a great view of the ocean. Toilets flush well. The shower is hot and cold as you please. For an Eco-friendly resort it is a place I would love to come back. The only thing I would say is to prepare for the boat trip to the resort. The water is quite choppy so, for those with motion sickness, just make sure you take the side of the boat that is open to the air, look straight to the horizon and you will be alright! The travel is well worth it!
We loved this place, the bathrooms are super tiny and not nice at all but you will get over that fast. Plus they were in the process of updating the rooms when we went. The house reef is perfect for snorkeling and the day trips are great and included in the cost. Make sure and say hi to Bruno, the giant barracuda that is seriously one of the biggest in the world. The cove where the rooms are is a baby black tip shark nursery and they are literally everywhere. I stopped taking pictures if there wasn't 3 or more in the frame after a while.
I and my wife spent one week at Apulit Island resort and we can confirm it was a truly gorgeous holiday. The staff is made up of people who live there, on the island, and you feel as a part of a community. Moreover, the water cottages (on the west side) are amazing and when you wake up you can see from the balcony the sea and a lot of fish, included some little sharks. About food, every day they cook several typical dishes from appetizer to dessert and we have never had any inconvenient. They are delicious and quite original, even the grilled fish and meat. The weather was ok and for twice we took a kayak to visit the nearest beaches. Far of 10 minutes there are other amazing areas for swimming and enjoying the Apulit Island Nature. Special mention for fauna and flora of Apulit Island, unique!
Didn't meet our expectations. The island was lovely, so quiet and peaceful being on a private island. Some of the activities were badly managed and weren't as described. I expected more from the rooms honestly, there were average apart from the view. Our room didn't have enough seating for 4 and was strangely empty. Biggest disappointment was the buffet dinner, none of us ate anything. I had never stayed in somewhere so expensive before so I guess I expected something better, but you can have just as good experience for a tenth of the price.
