Brayka Bay Reef Resort

If you’re into Scuba Diving then this is a must. They have their own diving school on the complex which offers night time diving too. Very popular not that I tried it out but other people I met did and highly recommended it.
The airport. You can pay with sterling and its roughly £10 per person. Or US Dollars. This takes the longest when arriving as it only has 1 airport. You write your visa out on the plane so there is no need to worry about that at all. Flight took around 5hrs 15 mins.
It takes 45 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport. It looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere but the resort is slowly being built up.
Hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly. This complex is huge and at first seems daunting but it doesn’t take long before you learn where you’re going. The gardens are well kept.
All rooms (and we had 2 in different parts of the hotel) were cleaned every day and spacious. I had a sea view and you literally walked 30 steps to the beach.
It has its own private beach which is immaculate. You can see the different coloured fish walking along the sand. A good view of fish too when you go out snorkeling yourself. Sun loungers and parasols provided.
The hotel has 1 large pool with a pool bar and a little pool for toddlers. You have towel cards for the pool so you don’t have to worry about that either.
If you go half board you can upgrade when your there. There is a separate restaurant outside. Food is very good but don’t expect burgers as they don’t do this. Nice variety and there is something there for everyone.
This is a complex where there is everything you need but i will say barter with them with everything. The price they offer they are expecting you to say no... Half it then go maybe up once or twice then walk away if you’re not happy. They come back after you and say yes ok then.
There are free pool tables upstairs and internet access to whilst your there.
There is no cash machine there but there is a hotel nearby you can go to if you need to. They do take visa for excursions despite what the brochure says. They also have their own exchange too.
All in all if you’re looking for a relaxing holiday where you can chill out for a week then this is ideal for you.
Temperature when we were out there hit 103c. On average for the whole stay there temps were between 93- 98c.
Well I hope that helps anyone who’s thinking of going out there to this up and coming resort. Booking this holiday a lot of people went independent and saved money doing it. Up to £100 pp this way. Food for thought.
