HOLIDAY
ISLAND
|
Consists
of 142 rooms, which are identical individual bungalows
except for 18 put together in pairs, with an adjoining door, for
families. They are each spacious, well built and perfectly
maintained. Top quality fixtures and fittings (from Singapore) are
used throughout. There is a minibar, a hairdryer, a telephone in the
room and the bathroom and a wide-screen satellite television with
big speakers. The bathroom has an open-air part with a powerful hot
shower duplicated in the inside bath. Unfortunately the single
painting in the room is of dubious taste.

- One door from the room opens to the
beach
- and another opens onto the winding path
that
- runs all the way around the inside of
the island.
- Inside this paved path are carefully
tended
- shrubs, flowers, palms and other
fruiting trees
- and everybody a group of women from
- neighboring Maamigili are brought over
to sweep
- the earth pristine white sands
|
| In the evening the
entertainment does continue. Twice a week there is karaoke and
disco, once a week a live band, a crab race and a beach party. In
the main bar drinks are served until the last person leaves. In
addition, there is 24-hour room service |
- Other, exercise options include
billiard, table tennis,
- volleyball, basketball,
badminton, tennis and a
- gym – plus a sauna and steam bath to
finish. Then
- there is the fishing, night fishing
and early morning
- trawler fishing (which is exercise or
relaxation
- depending on how seriously you take
it).

| Though
the island is quiet large, when the resort is full you are not going
to get the beach to yourself either, but on the other hand you will
never be cramped as the beach extends almost all the way around the
island (some erosion in the northeast corner). The south facing
beaches are particularly good and, of course has the sun all day.
The north side is a series of small beaches between small, low
groynes. The lagoon is too large for access from the beach but there
are four trips a day to the reef edge and once a week further a
field for snorkelers.

- The water sports center,
comprehensively
- equipped (including parasailing) and
- enthusiastically run by a young team,
is perfectly
- placed on a fine, wide beach with
a sharply
- sloping lagoon. The dive center has its
own small
- jetty and is busy with three
boats heading out
- twice a day. This is the most
renowned region
- in the Atoll for diving, with a
wide array of
- different dives sure to please. The
popularity
- sometimes means meeting up with other
groups
- from neighboring resorts or safari
boats.
