It is a great resort but it could have been better in some respects, which may well have annoyed me greatly had I been paying full whack for a room.
The Overwater Villas are superb and so much better than those at Rangali even the quite high end villa we had there. The quality of the resort is also outstanding but some soft features need a little more polish. Service could be a little slow and forgetful, the daily fruit plate (which I relied upon to add to my in suite G&T's) was rather random until I made a fuss about it. My wife lost count of the number of things she requested at breakfast which were just forgotten (albeit my experience was better).
At times it did rather remind me of the rather random service one tends to find in Dutch restaurants.
The dining options were also less varied and extensive than you might ideally like. It wouldn't take much to really make a difference to issues which were small in the broad scheme of things but at over $2k per night you would expect the detail to be right.
The resort itself though is world class, I now just need to find a way of getting back for a lot less than that $2k per night
