Sulaojan Nature Trail

Bring your own food if if travelling off season. Only one of the 2 restaurants will be open for dinner and it works with a massively reduced menu. No restaurant available for lunch, only room service. The "buffet breakfast" is actually only yoghurt, stale bread and green salad. Alongside that you can order one item from their breakfast menu of 5 options - most of which are eggs. No fruit/ porridge or other regular breakfast options that you would expect from a resort of this calibre (allegedly 5*). Nearest shop/ other restaurant is 40 minutes away so it really is quite unacceptable. At least prior warning of this situation would've enabled us to plan better for this but none was given. Otherwise the location is beautiful, there was a shuttle service into the city around 3 times each day which was appreciated. The spa is great but again not everything was functional due to the "off season" timing. We had emailed the hotel over a week prior to our stay to check what services would be available but received no reply so assumed everything would be as advertised on their website/ Expedia. This was not the case so whilst it was a relaxing and beautiful location which we did enjoy, ultimately it was a bit of a disappointing resort stay compared to what was expected.

Our stay at Halo Igloo was incredible. The room was lovely, everything was very clean and the hot tub and sauna were an added bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much for them. Staff were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help. On one day when we couldn’t get a taxi to one of our activities the man on reception offered to take us so that we would not miss it. Lovely accommodation and people. We hope to visit again.

We stayed at the top hotels during this trip ate various cities and without a doubt Aino Private Island Hotel is the most luxurious and memorable one. To say the place is magical is an under statement, the staff definitely made a huge difference: Pearl, Andrea, Sabine and especially Jasmina. We will definitely return for a longer stay. Thank you for everything.
