Fantastic experience at East Market

It was a fantastic experience here. Especially the staff in East Market gave us so much happiness. Thank you Anu, Jumaan, Michael, Pong, Easter so much. They smile all the time to welcome us. They even set us a wonderful table. They all gave us a wonderful experience! The food in East Market is the best among all the restaurants!!!

Don't doubt, simply book this memorable stay

Fantastic place to stay and forget about the world. Great for families as well as for couples. Everyone can find a place to enjoy the dream. Amazing service and great food made our stay even more memorable. Insider tip: Beach villas are amazing.

The best honeymoon experience

We went to this resort for our honeymoon and stayed in the water pavilions with the pool — it was unbelievably amazing! The views, the food, the staff were incredible. The staff remembered our drink and food orders and our names, making us feel so special. We did a couples massage in the water bungalows — one of the best massages ever. We also loved seeing sharks, sting rays and sea turtles every single day. Definitely our favourite vacation ever!

Anastasia M

Amazing resort with fabulous food and service

We absolutely love this resort. It is our third time travelling to LUX* and it never disappoints. The weather for July was great. The food is exceptional, as is the service. Special shout out to Aru in the Lagoon Bar and Allegria — so friendly and always ensured we had what we needed. Also Khan in Mixe and Veli Bar — he always remembers us and makes us feel very welcome.
