We believe that this was our 16 time to Reethi Beach; (although it was our original intention back in 1998 to only go to an island once), so this shows how special we rate this resort. We love the rustic feel of Reethi and particularly the friendliness of the staff, who are always so eager to please and to ‘go that extra mile’. Yes, the rooms are slightly ‘tired’ but steps are already underway with the new management to improve the rooms and also the garden areas. We hope however that these changes do not spoilt and outprice the rather unique rustic appeal that Reethi offers which seems attracts so many repeaters every year. With so many staff to thank, it is always difficult for fear of inadvertently missing someone out, but I will have a go:- In the Main Restaurant; a special mention to Executive Chef Farish, Majid, Ibbe, Kokky, Asham and Rubel. In the bars; Goran, Faloo, Ariba, Mode, Sandeep, Nishad, Roshan and of course Madhu, Dive centre; Barney, Ibbe, Arney, Mel for organising trips to swim with the Manta Rays and Whale Sharks; for which I’m forever grateful. We had the pleasure of talking with the new GM Valentin Osolos from time to time who took time out of his busy schedule to discuss any comments we had. Our only concern is that, because the island is due to close for a short time from May 1st to Dec 1st to carry out some major refurbishment, which may mean that we may have to forgo our annual visit to Reethi Beach next year for the ‘manta season’; so we sincerely hope that Valentin is able to wave a ‘magic wand’ such that the resort reopens earlier than planned…..
