"Property was good and staff were helpful. All three TVs didn't work. Not a big deal for me but others I am sure would like them to work. Water temperature was either cold or less often too hot. Not much food variety on the Island and fairly average. Food at the hotel was one of the better places. We did a couple day trips, which were very good but made me think, perhaps we may have been better off on one of the islands.
Gulhi is very close to the airport though so thats a plus."

Absolutely stunning property. Service levels and staff are exceptional. Very impressed with the main buffet and other dining options in the property. The M6M experience is unique and very special. The only negatives I would point out is the dining at the Indian / Ceylon restaurant and the snorkelling experience at another resort was much better. at their house reef. Our other experience with another resort for snorkelling was far superior. The service standards are exceptional at this resort...

Everything was amazing and even a couple of things that weren’t perfect upon our arrival were so attentively fixed with such respect and care that I don’t even remember what these were.
We have stayed in many top Maldives hotels before and I would, having compared them, would rate the WA very highly.
We even got to see a dolphin right outside our villa at sunset!

The review that persuaded me to book this hotel was the one which said something like 'I'm not a beach person but I loved this hotel'. Beautiful, peaceful, discreet, the attention to detail. L'occitane bathroom products, very comfortable bed, a shower and bathroom open to the warm air, delicious food in the restaurant (evening buffet concentrated on quality rather than quantity but there were still many choices). A most restful 3 days, one of the best hotels in 35 years of travelling.

For couples, especially couples on a honeymoon or a special anniversary (we were on our 25th wedding anniversary) this place is perfect. The setting of white, soft sands in a clear blue sea with tropical greenery is impossibly beautiful. The villa is immaculate, clean and tastefully decorated. Out the back you have your own sun dec with table and chairs and two sun beds. Best of all there are a few steps which lead into the water. From there, using the borrowed snorkelling gear it's a short...

We had an excellent stay. The resort is adult only and quiet. Food was outstanding and the staff was incredible. Guests have access to Dighu resort which is larger and offers more variety. I would highly recommend the hotel.

From the moment you arrive at the airport everything is 5 stars. Excellent location, beautiful clear white beaches. Cristal clear water. Amazing snorkeling in the reef and lots of amazing fish that can be seen akk the time. The butlers go the extra mile and are truly fantastic. The water sport options, fishing, restaurant, and activities can keep even the most demanding client happy. 7 days in paradise and cannot wait to go back.

The island is beautiful and well laid out. There is plenty to do and see or lots of places to just chill out. The staff on the island were fantastic. Honestly the best service we have had anywhere. The hotels buffet offerings were exceptional. The resturants near the main hotel are offering good service and great quality food. The only advice I would offer any would be travellers is that if you have a tight budget to find somewhere else.

We had an amazing stay here. Staff where all excellent especially Hussain and Midhun! But I will say the prices for anyone who is staying non all-inclusive is extremely high! $22 for 2 corona is steep. But overall the hotel and facilities are incredible

My wife and I booked this hotel for a week as part of our honeymoon and have Gotta say, we have never had such good customer service and friendliness before crystal sands.
Each staff member of this hotel always greeted us with a smile and a hello and constantly asked if we needed anything and looked after all of our needs.
Hotel is right by the harbour and also right next to the private beach with beautiful views from the hotel rooms and terrace.
I'd like to say the reservation...

The place was great location not far from airport. When looking at hotels around here check to see how far away from airport some can be 4 hour boat ride away this is 15 minutes speed boat away and 35 minutes slow boat. This is really nice scenery but not a 5 star resort. You might have to walk to the bar to get drinks no service all around island. Wifi only in lobby might want to grab a local cell chip with data only $25 and should last a week stay you can use anywhere on island.

This hotel was perfect. The location was amazing right outside the bikini beach and close to the port. For a 4 night stay in the Maldives this was great if you are on a budget. The activities on the island were amazing offering more than the average local resort island. The staff at the hotel helped you out where ever they could and got you what you needed. The local restaurants were delicious, better tasting than the food that I had at my resort stay.
Was cool also to see what the locals got...
