"Very easy to water taxi back and forth to the main land (which might even be walkable at low tide). Room was clean and staff were all very hospitable."
"Chris and staff make the whole experience awesome.
It’s located on the lagoon.
It’s home away from home. Toilet is cosy as you won’t be spending a lot of time in there but very clean.
Laundry facilities are available onsite.
BBQ is clean and new and conveniently located near pool area which is super. Pool is surrounded by sitting / eating areas.
Parking space is available if you want to brave the roads but buses are frequently available.
Eating places like Pad Thai is within walking distance...
"The staff are simply beautiful. All amenities are reflected accordingly in their description. New cabins being built which will be exciting for people travelling there shortly. Chef John is awesome! You MUST have his croissants for breakfast. Make sure to pat ‘Lucky’ the cat, he is adorable "

Nasama Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Very good sleep comfort...mattress and pillows. Great breakfast menu and other dining options. Friendly reception, office, housekeeping and maintenance staff. Also management Any problems were resolved quickly. Like to return in 2026."
"M Resort & Spa is a fantastic getaway if you’re looking to avoid the crowds at the larger resorts. It’s quieter, more intimate, and the food quality really stands out, fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care.
One of the most touching things was how much the owners care about their resort dog, Coco. They had the vet visit multiple times, and it’s clear the entire team is compassionate and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of everyone, including the animals.
If you don’t bring snorkeling gear, don’t worry they have plenty available for guest use. While you can snorkel right from the resort and even spot turtles passing by in the distance, I highly recommend a trip to Top Rock for an unforgettable snorkeling experience.
Just a note: skip the turtle sanctuary it feels more like a holding pen than a sanctuary.
Overall, M Resort & Spa is a hidden gem. Peaceful, personal, and full of heart. I’d love to return for a work trip!"
"The breakfast was pretty basic, but basically good enough. There were 4 kayaks, unfortunately 2 were missing storage covers so would likely fill with water. The other 2 did not have these storage areas so we're fine. The water is calm in this area making a paddle most enjoyable.
Being a cyclists I was happy to read they had loaner bikes. I was disappointed to see the biggest of them were bmx type bikes. Better than nothing though so i checked them out to find some were missing parts, had flat tyres or were broken in other ways so none were safe to ride. Unfortunate,but I guess with the state of the roads bikes break.
Staff here were all nice and friendly. "
"Loved the spacious bungalow accommodation with lots of amenities. Located right next to reef with great snorkelling opportunities. Caroline & Damien were very welcoming & are willing to help with booking excursions. Only set back - lack of transport on the remote roads so bring some food & snacks. Bungalows have kitchen facilities & BBQs are available. Food in the on-site Birdies Kitchen & Bar was very good."
