Gangehi Island Resort truly feels like paradise! Set on a beautiful small island with pristine beaches and a vibrant underwater world, it offers a range of snorkeling activities that made my stay unforgettable. Although the rooms were spacious and clean, I had some missed connections with the staff regarding service, which was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, the location and dining experiences were exceptional, making it a worthwhile visit overall.

My stay at Gangehi Island Resort was nothing short of wonderful! The setting is idyllic, with the stunning beauty of the island making it a perfect retreat. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. However, while the overwater villa was clean and spacious, it could use a few updates.

Gangehi Island Resort offers stunning views and a beautiful location perfect for snorkeling. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, and service was often lacking, especially during crucial times. While the beachfront accommodations are nice, they might not provide the privacy some guests look for. Overall, it was a mixed experience that didn't fully meet expectations for a resort of its caliber.

I had an absolutely mind-blowing experience at this resort! The location is incredible, nestled in a small island paradise with clear waters and plenty of aquatic life. The accommodations were clean and lovely, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. However, the management and diving center staff could improve their engagement with guests a bit; it was disappointing to see them dining without acknowledging visitors. Overall, I highly recommend this resort for a serene getaway.
