I loved this place! Super chill, beautiful location, friendly staff, clean spaces. You can be as busy or not as you choose. For me it was a 'stop still' holiday and the Moso was perfect. The small number of guests made it relaxed and intimate, and you could be chatty or not - but I met some lovely new friends. Bed was super comfortable (and after two back surgeries I am fussy), villa was spacious, clean, and private, with a spectacular view. We went snorkelling, kayaking, swimming, when we weren't lazing around reading, eating and drinking :) Also staff will organise trips if you want to have more activities. 10 out of 10. Loved it, and would recommend for anyone wanting a real 'getaway'.

This was the perfect place for our honeymoon stay. The rooms are secluded from others, neat and tidy, the food was impeccable and the staff were an absolute delight. We look forward to returning in the future to experience even more of what the MOSO has to offer

The highlight is the fantastic reef snorkelling at a nearby beach - about a 30 minute walk from the resort. The staff and local community were very welcoming and happy to have a chat and show you around. However probably don’t go if you are bothered by getting too close to nature - i.e rats in your room - as the resort is in the bush and rooms are ‘rustic village’ style and reasonably open to the elements. I liked it but didn’t sleep much!

Absolutely gorgeous. My partner and I stayed for a week to just relax and we got to do exactly that. The food was really really good and there is a really nice beach on the other side of the island where you can snorkel on a reef.

Absolutely amazing stay. Can't rave about it enough. Do research before going - this is a place for total relaxation, happiness, beautiful people, most friendly staff, stunning beaches, quiet, and great food. No place to work, so forget about your laptop or internet. If you can accept these terms, you'd have your face smiling constantly from the moment you arrive by boat, till everyone's farewell you with a hug. Thanks The Most - can't wait to return!!
