It was my first time to take a seaplane. It was really novel. Of course, the cost was very high. The scenery on the island was very good, and I saw dolphins at night. But it was really a waste of money.

This time I went to Siyam. The hotel is actually quite new, but the island is very big and requires a shuttle bus. It is not as convenient to travel as other islands I have visited before.

The water is clear but there are no waves yet. It is a great place for swimming. There is also sea kayaking and a lot of activities to do. If you like fishing, you can also take a boat out to sea to fish!

Excellent facilities and services. We stayed in a sand house for three nights and a water house for three nights. They were all amazing. We had an all-inclusive package for restaurants. We had a buffet in the morning and ordered meals at noon and dinner. There were French, Italian, Asian and seafood restaurants. The level of food was beyond my imagination. Drinks were also free, which was very good. We flew to the island by sea, and there was a free dolphin watching and free SPA. There were diving, fishing and kayaking for free, which we tried. Children can be taken care of in the amusement park with a dedicated companion. Very thoughtful and very good.
