The property and resort are clean & beautiful. Staff was courteous and helpful. Food and drinks were good. Amazing location with great views and beautiful water. I did not like the soap, shampoo, conditioner & lotion products provided in bathroom. Also, all water sports and transportation are expensive. There are no ferries available, only private speedboat transfers.

Staff were very friendly especially Ashraf who was very helpful to us from the beginning to the end. He made our stay very comfortable and relaxing to the last day of our trip. We had a baby with us so we are very thankful. We got the family villa that has access to the sand beach. It felt like you got your own private beach as it was quiet. The water was so clear and calm. Fishes, baby sharks and other sea creatures can be seen close to the shore or while swimming. Sand was white and soft as a powder. My daughter describes the sand like the pancake mix. The water activities were easy to schedule. The all inclusive food were yummy and a lot of variety. The egg benedict, seafood, salad, dessert were the best for me. The host were very friendly like Widiya and the servers too. Kona was very nice and offered to make a broccoli puree for our baby from their kitchen. The island was new and clean, no mosquitos. Overall, it was beautiful, relaxing, fun trip that our family would never forget. Thank you Ashraf, Widiya, Kona and the rest of the staff at Joy Island for giving us a wonderful vacation.

We had an excellent time and the property is amazing. The house reef is a must do and the snorkeling excursion. I would not recommend the big game fishing though - lots of money and really no effort to ensure you caught anything. Although dining options are only a buffet it was the best buffet I’ve ever been to. We did the overwater bungalow with a pool and wanted to have food and drinks in our room occasionally but that wasn’t an option unless you paid a lot more. I would recommend upgrading options for your guests that are staying in the bungalows.
