Tripadvisor 4.9/5 (1,677 reviews, carrying over from the Mirihi Island Resort era) and Google 4.8/5 (142); Xiaohongshu mostly still calls it 'Mirihi'. The consistent draws: a legendary reef circling the island (a few minutes out and you see reef sharks / eagle rays / turtles), a tiny barefoot private island of 42 villas, the over-water restaurant Muraka, and world-class diving off the beach. The consistent weaknesses: the island is very small with no large kids' facilities, only 3 restaurants, a low Value score; MGallery / Accor only took over and renovated in 2026, and some facilities and service are still settling in.
