Guest reputation
Tripadvisor ranking: 1/1 on Bolifushi Island; sub-scores Rooms 4.9 / Service 5.0 / Value 4.8
Common praise
- Spacious all-pool villas, clean, an elegant design
- The dining and culinary team are repeatedly praised, good snorkelling and excursions
- RESERVE all-inclusive value, a 15-minute speedboat
- Slide water villas / a slide island, a sunrise beach plus a sunset beach
- The RESERVE all-inclusive is broad, kids stay free / 2 kids free, a large kids' club
Common complaints
- A few extras are pricey
- Occasional inconsistent service
- The decor style is a matter of taste
- Inconsistent, not-very-warm service (slow buggies, only attentive after a tip)
- Dated decor, an underwhelming slide, plenty of 'the food is terrible' posts
Tripadvisor 5.0/5 (3,292 reviews, 1/1 on Bolifushi Island) and Google 4.7/5 (237), but Xiaohongshu opinion is split - 'a very divisive island'. The consensus: 90 all-pool villas plus slide water villas, a large kids' club, a broad RESERVE all-inclusive, a 15-minute speedboat with no seaplane, and a top-tier house reef. The disagreement: inconsistent, not-very-warm service is a frequent gripe, the decor is dated, the food is polarising (perfect Tripadvisor scores vs 'terrible' on Xiaohongshu), and Xiaohongshu has a cluster of 'in-villa theft' warning posts (nicknamed 'thief island').
