The honest bit
While Kuramathi is undoubtedly a fantastic resort, it's not without its drawbacks. The island is quite large, and getting around can take a bit of time. While the resort offers buggies to help you get from place to place, it's still something to keep in mind. Additionally, while the range of dining options is impressive, some of the restaurants can get quite busy, especially year-round. It's always a good idea to book a table in advance if there's a particular restaurant you're keen to try.
