"The room needed to be updated but was very clean and efficient. The island is terrific with more great beaches than most islands. The Manta Rays swimming around the Italian restaurant was fantastic. We were pleased with the food and drinks on the All-inclusive Plan. The resort lived up to all our expectations and more. The snorkelling here was not up to our previous Maldives resorts but the beaches were better. The staff was also terrific, every single one. "

"Overall was very good particularly the customer service was extremely good. Hotel management team was very present & approachable. However we were all expecting air conditioning throughout in the water villa especially it’s an enclosed bathroom. There was no AC nor fan in the bathroom and was recommended not to open the door in between the bedroom & bathroom which caused condensation. We tried but the heat/humidity made it hard to do whatever for a minute or 2 without sweating. This was very...

"Overall the stay was good. But the biggest disappointment was Mr. Mahmoud (Island host). Upon our arrival, Mr. Mahmoud was assigned to us as the Island host. We received zero support from him. Throughout our stay we had to reach out to different people to get guidance, information or support. Island host was not available. To one question, he responded after more than 36 hours. And then he never got in touch. Effectively, we were without an island host- which was extremely disappointing. This...

Please be prepared for no beach chairs or umbrellas (I was lucky to have found a hammock every day). There is a smattering of chairs along the beach but some look like they have been on the beach for decades. I had full board and...

"This hotel is a small guest house on a beautiful island about two hours away from Male. It is clean and the staff are very friendly, the restaurant provides good food, and the owner plays his guitar most nights. The island itself is quite small and quiet, and the evening entertainment is a draw for other tourists staying elsewhere on the island. I would strongly recommend staying at this lovely guesthouse. "
