Stunning location, great facilities. Staff were very friendly and eager to help. Only a 20 min speed boat from the main island, so an ideal location. Couldn’t fault the resort. We saw lots of fish when snorkelling near the resort, including sharks and sting rays! Good food options, including western and local dishes.

Each meal time the waiters would open a 1.5L plastic water bottle per table. This led to many bottles being left on tables only being half opened. We were told we were unable to take this plastic bottles back to the room. For a resort that focuses on sustainability/ environmentally friendly practices, it would be great if glass bottles were used (as they are in the rooms) or plastic bottles could be taken away from the restaurant with recycling bins dotted around the resort. Note plastic bottles were available for purchase in the rooms.

The buffet was international with a focus on Indian and Chinese food - as European, I was positively surprised that I couldn't find the "usual" pizza and burger style of buffet. 2 water bottles were included per day. Mini spa-entrance (sauna and hamam) were free of charge with prior reservation. The transfer to/from the hotel is organized by the hotel itself, which is a truly positive point (they have an own counter at the airport). You will need to indicate the flight number prior your arrival in order for them to get organized. It costs about 300USD per person 2-way for the transport, the payment is done directly once arrived in the hotel. Having our flight back home at 23h00, they organised the transport only 3 hours before (at 20h00) to extend our stay to the maximum and we even ended up totally alone in the speed boat. Hotel staff indicated that >75% of their electricity is green self-generated.

Thematic sea-food restaurant: location was exceptional as you eat with fish swimming immediately below. However, the food was excessively expensive (around 30USD for small 2 salmon toasts). Overall, the prices are SOMETIMES indicated without taxes, sometimes with. Maybe the hotel could have a standardised policy on this. The interior facilities of the villas are becoming old but price/quality still remains exceptionally good.

The island is huge with enough space to walk around and plenty of activities to do. The general manager (looks like Tom Cruise) is actively interacting with guests, for example, during our evening couples competitions he generously offered extra rewards for the winners. We also had a great host, Rishwaan, who helped a lot during our stay to orginise our activities and shared interesting recommendations.

We took all inclusive package, and one particular restarant servent was so much after the tips that he was bringing the bill to sign every breakfast and dinner for the drinks from the all inclusive menu. (The bill was always ZERO). The only annoying part of the whole trip.

The island was absolutely stunning, and the service and staff couldn’t have been better, especially Azaliya, who was helpful through our stay. The water villa and lagoon restaurants were really nice. Also the saxophonist who performed in the evenings was brilliant.

I wouldn’t return to this island in a beach villa, as the main restaurant isn’t as nice as the lagoon restaurant. Also it would be nice if there was an all inclusive option that included all restaurants.

From the moment we arrived, every aspect of our stay at the resort was nothing short of exceptional. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring our comfort. The accommodations were pristine, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views. From the seamless check-in process to the thoughtful morning updates in relation to weather forecast and resort daily activities The facilities were top-notch, whether it was the serene spa, the well-maintained pool, or the activities curated for guests. We felt pampered, relaxed, and valued throughout our stay. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the gentleman who took care of us during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name, but I hope this message reaches him. His service was truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and professional in every way. He made our dining experience incredibly special, and his genuine hospitality left a lasting impression. Please pass on our deepest appreciation to him. It's people like him who make a stay unforgettable.

Unfortunately, the fishing trip did not meet our expectations and didn’t feel worth the money. The experience was underwhelming, and we felt that it lacked the value and engagement we were hoping for. While we appreciate the effort from the crew, there were aspects that could be improved — whether in terms of organization, equipment, or overall experience. Compared to the standard of service elsewhere at the resort, this particular activity fell short.

The location is a quarter of an hour away from the airport. The supervisor, Maryam, is wonderful. She welcomed us with juice and took us to the villa with an explanation of the location. There is a full board, including 3 meals without juice or soft drinks, only water, coffee and tea at the buffet. There is a fully inclusive board, including all drinks. There are two main restaurants for the buffet, one for the water villa reservation, which has a restaurant on the water, and the other for the beach villa reservation, which has a buffet restaurant close to the reception. There are 3 other restaurants for a fee. On the last day, I took a beach villa without a pool, and I was upgraded to one with a pool. I thank the management, especially the hostess, Maryam. I also liked the availability of drinking water always, and whenever you request, they bring you bottles of water. They care about the cleanliness and comfort of the guest 100%. Their appointments are punctual for reception and farewell to the airport.

The transportation cost is $185 per person from the airport to the island in both directions, and the reasonable price is $60 per person in both directions. Also, the buffet for desserts and salads is wonderful, but the main meals are mostly Indian, and the buffet lacks a variety of seafood. Only tuna slices are available, although the sea is everywhere. I expect that fish is more abundant for them than chicken and meat. There is an environmental tax for one person of $12 per night. Do not register on Booking and pay upon arrival.

- Stunning location - beautiful island, pristine waters, soft coral sands. - Friendly and attentive staff that actively tries to make your experience memorable. Our host Alina made sure that our stay was comfortable and that the processes of arrival and departure were smooth and seamless. - Great food from all major world cuisines as well as the local one. - Family oriented resort and staff trained specifically to cater for children. All the waiters at the Bageecha restaurant remembered our child’s name and made sure to greet him at every meal.

- We found cockroaches in our room. Some even snuck into our suitcase. - Some employees were fishing for tips too aggressively for our taste. The person in question stalked us at least 5 times in front of our villa and asked us for a tip. We were going to tip them anyways, but asking about it repeatedly leaves a bad aftertaste and makes us doubt the sincerity of the service. We consider the last two points to be minor inconveniences in an otherwise fun and memorable vacation experience.

An excellent stay despite the slightly rainy weather for January. The room was excellent, great view of the ocean. Thank you Juliana for the information and support during our stay. Also, thank you to the room attendant Simran who cleaned the room and was very nice to our requests. The entire staff is respectful.

Even though there were things we didn't like from our point of view, any return to the islands is well deserved. We have visited several resorts in the Maldives islands in recent years. Comparing, we expected it to be ok, but the quality was poorer. The beaches have very little sand...the water is not deep at all...concrete paths that have no place here...you can't do a tour of the island, traffic jams everywhere...almost non-existent reef around the island...poor quality food, only the tuna was like fish, meat only chicken, the grill very poor, a lot of Asian and Indian food...

Beautiful island close to the airport. Only 20min by speedboat. The staff is super nice, greetings go out to amine who made our stay really special and was taking care about all of our needs and questions. From beginning to end the staff was making sure that you have an outstanding stay. Drinks in all of the bars are well done and taste good. Also the food in the buffet was really good and changing every time. We especially loved the naan and fried fish ❤️ In the waters around the island you can easily spot reef sharks (especially around the water villas) and sting rays.

Everything was great we just had some minor setbacks. 1. We booked the sunset beach pool villa, here we first got a double bungalow with a connecting door. Unfortunately these bungalows are not well Noise isolated and you can hear everything going on in the neighboring unit. Here Amine went out of his way and switched us to another unit right away which was much better

The room was top notch, the private pool was a good size. The staff was very friendly and polite. I would come back here only for the room and private pool. The Italian restaurant was great and had good food.

The restaurant was much too crowded, the Hulhungu bar played very loud music at times and held competitions and other activities which wasn’t pleasant for someone trying to relax and have a drink at the beach bar. The water sports activities should start a bit earlier in the morning like maybe 7am. The food is very average at the all Inclusive restaurant, wasn’t worth taking and we skipped a couple of meals due to this. There seems to be a conference facility at the hotel so on the first three days we could see alot of corporate crowd in their formal suits which kills the holiday vibe. Felt less like a hotel and more like an industry outside of our room.
