Our take
This resort is ideal for travellers who prioritize direct access to marine life and luxurious overwater living. Couples will appreciate the romantic setting and the overwater spa, while divers will find the house reef and dive centre particularly appealing. Families with older children who enjoy water activities will also have a memorable stay. Those looking for a bustling, high-energy environment might find the tranquil pace a little too quiet.

Why guests love itWe wanted an overwater villa without an ultra-luxury bill, and Summer Island got us both: a sea-view balcony over the reef at a rate closer to four-star than the private-island resorts nearby. The infinity pool and the 24-hour gym kept my husband happy while the kids snorkeled straight off the balcony ladder most afternoons. Dinner options are simpler here than at the villa resorts, which suited a family that just wanted the water, not a tasting menu, for the price we paid.
