Some main restaurant staffs are sweet, some are below standard. Housekeeping always miss some daily refill items. Don't expect too much for buffet in main restaurant after you stayed few days in there. The Nu is a must go specialty restaurant, tasty food, exceptional service and excellent view. The diving center is highly professional, good for value to spend extra to join the diving activity.

All-Inclusive Resort in the Paradise

Varu by Atmosphere offers beautiful, spacious villas and an excellent all-inclusive experience. During our 4-night stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the included meals, drinks, and complimentary speedboat transfers. The room was spotless, with housekeeping done twice daily, which kept everything fresh and comfortable. Everything was hassle-free, and all amenities were included as promised. Friendly and attentive staff were present everywhere, always ready to help with a smile. Definitely a resort worth visiting! Special thanks to Zune, who helped with our reservations and made thoughtful arrangements—she truly made our stay smoother and more enjoyable.

My experience at varu was amazing and it was due to Arsham our butler. He was very helpful and booked everything for us and replied very fast to our needs. He was simply AMAZING. The food was great at Lime and chili great variety. Charcoal was the best restaurant the least favorite was Nu. The beaches were great but there was a lot of stones and shells that made it difficult to snorkel and swim. The ladder in the water villas need to be changed it is rusty and difficult to go for a swim maybe wood that is durable to water would be a better option with bigger steps. The housekeeper that was in charge of our villas 505 and 507 was very kind and made all arrangements to our needs. Winston the trainer was also amazing during our classes at the fitness center. Jet ski activity was very fun as well.

Varu was exactly in its name, an Atmosphere experience! From the drum ceremony arrival to the birthday dinner on the dock gazebo to the food and the service. Impeccable! I celebrated my birthday at Varu and absolutely loved the experience. Abby, Zune and the entire crew were phenomenal. I made new friendships here. My only suggestions are more entertainment during the evenings. It's a little bit dead after 9pm during the weekdays. But we would absolutely recommend. Charcoal is worth every moment! Food might be the best we've ever had. Try the lamb skewers, Wagyu and Pork Belly. Phenomenal! My water villa was what dreams are made of! Will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! All staff were wonderful and really made our trip great. Also, all restaurants were high quality and the buffet (Lime & Chilli) had excellent variety with options for all tastes. Great alcohol options for wine, beer, spirits etc as well. The water is a crystal clear and great for snorkelling, and we did some additional water sports (paddle boarding, kayaking etc) which was a lot of fun. Overall this was a great stay and a great hotel!
