6/10 Good

Beach was nice - that’s about it
The hotel is set on a beautiful natural island, there was sand everywhere, even in reception which added the vibe. We had to wait in reception, in the sweltering heat for 40 mins before we could go to our room. The service was so slow and painful. I had previously been emailing the hotel to book the seaplane and organise a room upgrade half was through the holiday to surprise my wife for her birthday. I didn’t get a reply half the time and only just managed to book the seaplane in time. At check in I tried to explain this when my wife wasn’t around, they then spoilt the surprise by announcing how much the upgrade would cost in front of my wife. I was so annoyed. When we checked into the beach studio, we were underwhelmed. Apart from the beautiful view of the beach, it felt very basic and not at all luxury. When we did finally upgrade to the over water villa with swirl pool, it felt much nicer. I wish we had stayed there the entire trip. But that being said, the shower head was broken, the swirl pool kept turning on by itself and the room felt tired and worn. The food was okay. Nothing amazing. There were cafes which mainly had cakes - I wish they have more salads or healthy sandwiches for lunch. The kids club was good - my son enjoyed going and had fun. Staff there were fantastic. When we left, the hotel booked us on a ridiculously early seaplane without telling us until 9pm the night before, so that made our journey home very long and tiring.

This place is absolutely stunning. Clear blue water, plenty of sea life and lot of activities for kids of all age. The staff here are very approachable and greet the guest with a smile. The rooms are clean and bed is equipped with best mattress you can get. Our family had an absolute cracking time even though it’s rained a lot on one of the days. The staff arranged lot of indoor activities for the kids, which allowed the grown up to have a great time as well. We stayed 5 night but I would recommend at least 7 days or more. You will never get tired of majestic view and serene deep blue water. I would rate our stay more 5 stars!. Rest assured, we will be back here again!

Wonderful place, large island and so is the resort. Everything perfect during our 9 day holiday from the food, to the activities, to the cleanliness and the room. We had a water villa and I recommend everyone to try the experience of sleeping on the water and overlooking the turquoise sea of ​​the Maldives. However, the thing that made the difference for us was the staff; always kind, smiling, thoughtful, attentive to the customer's needs but never intrusive. Truly a pleasant surprise.

Overall enjoyable
Excellent service staff when it comes to regular service that they are used to do, but inflexible in special circumstances. E.g there was a night with heavy rain & lightning and there is a rather long walk back to our room unsheltered. We tried to ask for transport back to room seeing how their vehicles are able to ride on the platform when ferrying luggages so it should be something doable. However, they refused saying they don't offer buggy service to rooms. While we understand that it is not something that is normally offered, we thought they be more flexible. It was a dangerous walk back, we couldn't hold up our umbrellas too as the wind was too strong. During our stay, we fell sick but was very lucky to meet a very kind and helpful doctor at the medical centre. She helped us to recover quickly so that we can get back to our daily activities. Appreciated the daily activities schedule where we can partake in various free exercises and yoga. Although for some classes, instructor's punctuality can be an issue. Referring to classes not held by the gym or yoga instructor. 1 of us is vegetarian so glad to have quite a variety of options. Though would like to suggest for an improvement in the cooking of fish, it was almost always overcooked.

This was our honeymoon and the experience was truly amazing. I unfortunately did experience food poisoning from the lamb chops after a dinner on the beach which caused me to be so sick the last full day and the plane ride home which took over 20 hours. Our fridge didn’t work as well but the staff was outstanding to get me ice whenever I needed it. We stayed on the bungalow and it was perfect! Lots of walking but we truly had the best time there !!!!!
