Just returned from summer island . Summer island was a little piece of tranquil paradise which didn’t disappoint in any way at all. We were in room 253 superior vista which was clean and comfortable and the guys tending the rooms worked hard and discreetly . The island itself is beautiful and having walked around it , I would agree with another review that the sunny side is preferable. The beach and sea is stunning and to see the beautiful fish and black tipped shark swimming backwards and forwards literally past your feet is special . The marine life and fishes are nature at its best but upsetting to see the coral looking sad in places. We ate in the hiya restaurant on two occasions and enjoyed the experience , from here you may get to get a glimpse at big grey sharks and on two occasions a stingray made an appearance. The nevi bar and Samuga were pleasant places to sit and have a drink anytime of the day and the sunsets amazing . I have never seen such clear nighttime skies and stars . The food in the samuga was varied and plentiful and was catered to everyone’s taste. I would recommend this island to anyone who is looking for a laid back , relaxed and tranquil holiday . Well done to all the staff who work so tirelessly in the heat to keep the island so well maintained and spotlessly clean . I really have no negatives , only positive things to say. Summer island is suitable for all not just honeymooning couples, but for friends and families. The only one draw back was the journey from the UK seemed endless to get there , the 8 hour delay from Heathrow with Qatar didn’t help matters but these things happen .We decided to get transfer to the island by seaplane and returned to male by speedboat both good experiences. The speedboat was a bit bumpy and the sea choppy that day but it only takes 45 minutes so bearable even if you don’t travel well on boats . By seaplane you get a different perspective and was wonderful to see the islands on route from an aerial view and literally took 10 minutes , pricey but well worth the experience. .I would definitely return to summer island but would maybe stop off at Dubai as a lot of other people did for a few days or book a direct flight with no stop off to Doha.
Excellent
