10/10 Exceptional

An amazing island resort that has a lot of potential , very peaceful and relaxing areas , and plenty of options of a activities to do on site, including scuba diving (highly recomnended) , watersports , plenty of dining choices in the main restaurant or beach side bar , there are two choices of accommodation the beach villas or the water villas, Personally I would very much recommend the water villas, which will give you a stunning sunrise and sunset and the stars in the night sky will be worth it, and also very peaceful for resting and sleeping. I would certainly come back again for a visit in the future and wish a!l of the staff on the resort well for the future ...

I went with my wife for our honeymoon for 2 weeks. We took a Watervilla that was amazing with a great view.. The food was amazing a lot was indian food but international options were available. The staff was super friendly, thumbs up for Jowel. If you can afford it take the seaplane it's more confortable, we took the boat for arrival and seaplane for departure. The boat was fun but it takes longer (2h30 hours) and you may feel the need to vomit, seaplane is smooth and fast (40 min). Highly recommend the stay.

We had an amazing experience and we were very sad to leave the resort. The staff is incredible! They are always very helpful, smiling and professional. A big thank you to the all restaurant team for their service the food was always delicious. We stayed 9 nights and they cleaned out the room every single day and changed our towels and beach towels daily. Our house (171) was in a perfect spot to swim and tw water was beautiful. Overall we would highly recommend the resort the only advice is to improve the wifi (even though it's perfect to switch off completely so you don't have distractions). Once again big thank you to the whole staff!

Nice place with cozy atmosphere, but a bit rundown

The place is located on a nice and cozy Island and the atmosphere is also nice. Our reservation included an all incl package and the meals were served in a "dining hall" which was OK and cozy but a dining hall... We compensted by eating at the a la carte restaurant a couple of times where the food was also a bit better but the privacy was much better. We found the drinks included in the all inclusive package very basic and the very cheapest brands so we had to compenste to buy the dirinks we valued higher ofcause at a premium. If you are not so interested in higher quality drinks then the package is certainly worth it as the food protion was good. Service was good and we enjoyed our beach cabin whereas I might choose the cabins located offshore next time. The place is overall nice, but a bit run down and if I did not know better I might say it appears as if teh onwers is trying to squeeze the last cent out of the place. That being said we opted for a 3 star hotel and this is also what we got so no complaint there

Lovely stay here. But zero management. The buffet restaurant was good and well managed and the staff were all lovely. The facilities were unkept and in need of major repair. Splintery unsafe decking around the pool with loose wooden boards with rusty nails poking out. A bit shabby to be honest. The sea grass in the sea all around the island prohibited swimming. Needs an urgent repair overhaul but we enjoyed our time there. The diving was excellent with very nice and professional staff, and the mantarays were obliging. My husband fell through the floorboards around the pool area and has a major bruise on his leg. No recompense whatsoever from the management. Could have been really bad. The manageress was great but powerless to do make any changes. We enjoyed our stay but we will not return to this resort. We are old hands at the Maldives and there are definitely better atolls to book.

We were given a beach villa for 4 persons in the south east of the island and it was amazing: very spacious, wonderful beach, great seaside, 5mins walk from restaurant and bar. The room was extremely clean, everything was in working order (ac, tv, kettle, fan). Wifi speed in the room was poor (~1 Mbps), only sufficient for messaging and emails, but one doesn’t come here to work. The free boat trips to the coral reef were great, the crew was extremely pleasant. Same for the line fishing excursions. The only excursion we didn’t like was the island hopping tour: no effort was made to make us like the islands we visited. We were shown the dumpsters twice, everyone was extremely puzzled by the choices of our guide. After this “trash tour” we were left wandering around aimlessly for half an hour. We went for half board and were extremely pleased with the breakfast and dinner buffet: there is sufficient variety to not get bored if you stay for 1 week. We ate our lunches at Velu bar / Al fresco restaurant. Service was a bit slow at times, but food and drinks were excellent. Plus the view from the restaurant is great. The drinks are often discounted (happy hour). Overall the staff was helpful and gentle. There is a bit of language barrier but with a little of patience communication is not a problem.

We stayed on a water bungalow from December 25-31, 2024. The staff was amazing from the second we arrived in Male` to the time we arrived back in Male`! The water bungalow was very nice and amazing to just sit on the deck and watch all the sea life go by. We Would communicate with the other water bungalow visitors to give each other a heads up when sea life was going by and what direction they were heading. It was very enjoyable interacting with the other people in the bungalows was a good way to meet them. I would like to give a huge thank you to all the staff specifically; Ali- who took care of our bungalow and us throughout our stay, he was the best and kindest person and was just amazing!! Made our stay special ! Sajjet- who took care of us throughout our dining experience and even beyond that, he really helped make our stay special too! Fernando - the house keeping manager who was always available if we needed anything , although we never did do to great rooms and Ali being so fantastic. Fernando, you have a Great team and thanks for letting us know you are there for us! Kalam- he is the guy on the island who climbs the palm trees to get the fresh cocoanuts. I actually got a video of him going up and down cocoanut trees. Don- who works the area where the seaplanes and boats come in. I would go to that area and Don was such a pleasure to talk too! Wajeeth, Rajana and Yasin took care of us when going through the buffet area and answer any questions we had. Thank you!

At the time of booking, we already knew that the resort was older and did not have its own house reef. We were therefore not surprised to find this to be the case. However, the island itself (it was our first vacation in the Maldives) seemed absolutely fantastic to us and the staff were extremely friendly and made every effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible. What seemed absolutely fantastic to us was the outdoor shower, which was part of our room, in a small private garden. Our bungalow (212) also had a fantastic terrace and secluded greenery with shady palm trees right in front of it. The view was directly out to sea. However, the jetty for boats and airplanes was also right there, which is why it could get quite loud early in the morning. The music from the nearby hotel bar could also be heard in the evening. If you prefer not to have this, you should choose a bungalow on the opposite side of the island. There, however, you have no view of the sunset, but the sound of the sea is easy to hear! Due to a misunderstanding, the boat transfer was scheduled for us at the wrong time. However, the front office manager pulled out all the stops and was finally able to organize a transfer for us at the desired time. We really enjoyed the daily (free) snorkeling trips to the surrounding reefs and the time out on this paradisiacal piece of earth. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this.

The resort island was lovely, staff were amazing and the buffet style food had plenty of choice across many cultures. I stayed in an over water villa and whilst the island itself is rated at 4.5 star the accommodation was closer to a 3 but of course with an amazing view and direct stair access to the water. The swing seats that often get shown are unbalanced on a lot of the terraces, mine included, not the end of the world but I didn't use it that often. Cleaning staff came almost every day offering to clean/top up drinking water. The AC had a musty smell but was quite effective at keeping the room cool, however the exterior unit made a loud noise which made me worry how the neighbours would hear it. A lot of the thatch roofing needs replacing, terrace/walkways decking is damaged/loose in some places. The room had cockroaches and ants but I was able to eventually get a spray bottle from reception and every day I would see a pest control man going along the walkway to the water villas. Wi-Fi is terrible. Every room has its own router which means signal is amazing but In the early hours of the morning (when no one else is using it) I could get around 40Mbps but at any point during the day/early evening you are lucky to get 3Mbps. The hotel TVs have a limited selection of downloaded movies and a few TV channels. If you have kids make sure to download any videos/games in advance to keep them entertained especially if it rains which it did on a few days in February.

The design of the property is excellent. There could be more utility shops inside. Its very well maintained . Staff is very good. The beaches at the back are so clean. On the downside, My room phone was not working throughout my stay. AC was not working on the first day. I had requested for a wheel chair which was not provided. But i had an excellent time in the resort.

The good: Staff, food, location. The not so good: Lots of maintenance required everywhere. It appears old, tired, worn out, uncared for. Considering the above lower prices for accommodations would be fitting. But I guess people keep filling the place up, so no decrease. I wonder how may people visit a second time. I would not.

Good for the money

The staff are wonderful, excellent service and the food was really good with a good selection each day but the rooms need to be refurbished, stayed in the water bungalow and the deck, steps, doors, roof etc need to be replaced, looking very tatty. I'm sure this is reflected in the price as it was very reasonable i think for Maldives, would return once renewed. DO NOT TAKE THE SPEEDBOAT TRANSFER, 2.5 to 3 hours of hell. We spoke to a couple who crossed in the dark which must have been even worse, pay the extra for the water plane, its roughly an hour with a stop and the views are beautiful.

2/10 Poor

The place is good, if you want to pay for every basic amenity and even after paying for the full board you get the option to pay for drinks. Please take fresh clean dollar bills as they will examine them like a hawk for when you check out and pay for the invoice. Ask for extra bathroom essentials and they will hesitate to provide them. Overall a good expensive place which will provider services for a cost even though you have booked the all inclusive package.

2/10 Poor

Chami and Sujet were amazing help during our stay. I wished they had more control over our experiences during our stay. We pre-ordered champagne as part of our honeymoon for our over water villa stay. It was old, and seemed like it was opened before/expired. The villa itself was dirty, and unsecure due to the locks being busted from the back door and unchanged. Our first meal was the best, but after rhat it was evident that every meal was only frwshly prepared eith unfresh ingredients. Omlettes were our main choice. Staff seemed to be snappy with our requests. For room service, a drink was spilled on delivery. We were told not to request anothe drink as it would "get him in trouble" . We needed a 2 minute misunderstood phone call explaining why we needed a new drink, because it wasnt reported. We got a new villa, but it was plagued by with bugs, and the staff would not collect the used plates, even when requested, leading to various creatures in our room during our stay. Food wasnt great Drinks were subpar Ambiance felt like work( everyone fake wanting to be there) Views were great tho Overpriced for the product presented I believe this site needs an overhaul Asian cultural night was absolutely amazing.
