Why guests love itSoneva Jani was worth the longer transfer the moment our kids saw the slide running from the villa straight into the lagoon. The adjoining sleeping area meant we were never far from them at night, and the private pool meant no negotiating a shared resort schedule with other families. The retractable roof over the bed was as much a hit with our children as with us, an easy way to end each day looking at the sky over Medhufaru.
