1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
This was our honeymoon so it was great that there were so many memorable things about this holiday. We loved our secluded cottage in the jungle; the beautiful empty beach; the peacefulness of the surroundings; the fantastic Ayurvedic massages on Japanese Hill with beautiful views over the jungle; the friendly staff; the ease with which we could get out and enjoy the island and the activities on offer, scuba diving, fishing. We could go on and on...
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure you stay long enough to get out and see the island as well as enjoy the resort.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
The resort employed a large number of staff from the Andaman Islands. We spoke to owners and managers of the resort who seemed determined to improve the resort's environmentally friendly credentials, for example having scientific checks to enable the use of water from the resort's spring to reduce the need for plastic water bottles, investing in a wind turbine for sustainable power, ensuring there will be no further building on that part of the island.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Amazing! Our honeymoon was everything we had hoped for and more. We have decided we will return for our anniversary one year!
