Plenty of food options. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive deal. Lots of activities for couples and families. Fantastic staff and customer service all around. The island in itself is gorgeous. It’s about 2 km long with a sand bar at low tide that connects it to a neighboring local island (although crossing over is not allowed). Very walkable and they offer club cars and bikes if you prefer not to walk. Diving center and water sports facilities on premises. Highly recommended. ##### Abdel elah Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TAKUYA Jan 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was truly good place to stay. ##### TAKUYA Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mashael Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Honestly, one of the best experiences we’ve ever had!

The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e113031d-30e6-4b67-a400-3516d495a97a-1751572101057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d92b8c84-e661-4cbc-8813-5f3a3c4e89f7-1751572101110.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eab729a3-8ac4-4839-85aa-dc045ba465d0-1751572100911.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8f38b37-a5de-45c0-88ae-6f219fe16305-1751572101079.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Abdel elah Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruba Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love the experience unforgettable in glad I stayed at LUX ##### Ruba Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect ##### Curtis Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Van Hoang Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful resort would come back again ##### Van Hoang Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis Feb 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Beautiful place, with it's own sand bank, very nice and friendly staff.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The only reason I dropped one star overall is that I felt the food and drinks were very overpriced considering the good but not excellent quality.
