LikedThank you Fayaz and all the staff members for this beautiful stay!
LikedThe water villa was of very good size for family of 4. It was very comfortable from the start. Tharif was a perfect butler he helped us with all the reservations for the restaurant. He was very helpful in guiding us with all the other activities around like water-sports, tennis etc. We had a lovely stay.
LikedThis hotel truly delivers 5-star white glove service from arrival in Male to departure from Male. The variety and quality of food was consistently excellent as were the snorkelling excursions. There are several areas with good coral and/or abundance of fish that one can snorkel to from the hotel itself that are shallow and can have relatively little current. We saw a number of eels, an octopus, a 5-6 ft long shark, and many beautiful large parrotfish, for example, in these areas. Hotel and its staff are incredibly flexible and guest focused - a real rarity today. We would suggest that the hotel add a guided night snorkel near the pier where there are already lights in the evening that attract a lot of fish and feeding action! A bat feeding station would be cool as well. Large flying foxes seem to commute to the island daily.
LikedIt was naturally beautiful and the facilities are seamlessly integrated. The tree lines were even gorgeous. The swimming is so refreshing and the water is practically invisible. It’s like a fantasy. There’s no mosquitos. The guests were all relaxed and quiet. There is so much personal spaces in the villas that the other beaches were basically empty. The restaurants always had space available. Every day we talked about how amazing it was. I snorkelled with so many fish and even Manta Rays! The gorgeous Maldives came to life out of the photos. The food was delicious included some of the best meals of our lives. The staff was the best, spectacular service and friendly and chatty. It was twelve days of smiles and laughter
DislikedWe weren’t there long enough. Haha we had beautiful blue skies our entire visit the only blemish was the hazy horizon yet we still had many beautiful sunsets.
