Water villa has Stones in the water. so there it is not possible to swimsuit there. we exchange our villa to beach villa wil pool. it was much better. I wouldn't recommend the water villa. And I would recommend to add total he description that there are stones in the water.

I would give this property a 10/10 if it wasn’t for some of the staff and general customer service experience. We stayed at an overwater villa with a pool for 8 days then moved to a deluxe beach villa with a pool for 4 days Both rooms were beautiful in their own ways. Both villas were well kept but could do with a deep clean of the grout and rust but that’s to be expected at an ocean resort The beaches and the overall resort were stunning! The food was amazing and the bbq evening was our favorite. Definitely a resort where the all inclusive drinks menu was extensive with many options to choose from. Anwesh at the Lapelle bar was an excellent server and made our stay that much more remarkable. He deserves some serious recognition! Even though the resort doesn’t have a house reef in close proximity we saw beautiful marine life every day. The clear water and the clean white sand far outweighed the other resorts we’ve been to in the Maldives Overall, the resort itself was stunning

The major downfall during our stay that left a rather disappointing impression every single day was the staff. We had a handful of staff that were great, other than that we were not impressed. The staff that ran the breakfast service daily were rude and genuinely seemed like they didn’t want to be there. We walked in one morning and asked for a cuppachino only to be rudely told “sit down first and someone will come, you cannot come ask us”. The barista behind the coffee bar laughed at us and left us feeling rather uncomfortable. The Italian pasta server shocked me with his “I don’t want to be here attitude” I asked him what the options were, he gave me this look of, “I really don’t know why you asking me this, do I really need to tell you” then turned his back on me until I had to ask him again. The gentlemen making the omelette every day was fantastic but you should really have both stations open. We waited over 25 minutes in line one morning. The Russian lady behind reception should not be a front of house staff. Everytime we had to deal with her she was sitting on her phone and didn’t acknowledge us until I had to loudly say excuse me. Her look of disgust when she had to help anyone was ridiculous. Definitely not someone you need front of house The Snorkeling equipment needs some serious attention, we went on a snorkeling tour and within 5 minutes half the group was floating on their backs because the snorkels were leaking and the googles were useless. Over 20 people left in the sea not being able to snorkel because of faulty equipment Reassess the check in procedure. It was such a Long check in. So many of us had travelled for over 16 hours and then we are left to sit outside waiting whilst one person handled the check ins of over 20 people. There should be more staff assisting during check in. We are all tired and want to get to our rooms. 45 minutes to check in was a bit much

The location was great. We loved our pool overwater villa looking over the ocean. The two speciality restaurants were very good and we were pleased that we had only booked bed and breakfast only as it meant we could dine in these rather than the main self-service restaurant.

This is the 7th resort we have stayed in over the years in the Maldives but we felt the initial welcome was very ‘lacklustre’ and we weren’t even offered a welcome cold drink. No member of the senior management team ever approached us to ask how our stay was. The general staff in the restaurants and cleaning staff were friendly and generally efficient. The food in the main restaurant was only mediocre in comparison to similar resorts we have stayed at.

location from airport is not that far, facilities at Island its perfect, entertainment for kids was superb. Welcome staff at reception are great and very helpful and friendly. food quality and variety is very good

This resort is just exceptional! The crystal clear water and beautiful beaches are stunning! In the water villa you enjoy a lot of privacy and in general the island did not seem to busy during our stay. The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful! We liked the fact, that a snorkeling trip as well as a sunset cruise are included. We would definitely recommend all inclusive to enjoy the nice cocktails. This holiday was beyond our expectations!

The food was good, but standard. Huge buffet with international food, a lot of choices but not as exceptional as the rest of the resort. Also you have to be aware of the sea plane landing and starting several times a day which is a bit loud.

This is a seaplane only transfer island so make sure you consider hours of operation when booking your flights to/from Male. We had the misfortune of using SriLankan Airways, based on times of arrival - NEVER AGAIN! Anyway, upon arrival you are immediately hit with the magic of the colours of the sea and white sand. There are lots of excellent facilities on this island and the dive centre (Ocean Dimensions) is excellent. I am a newly qualified diver and they were super-friendly and helpful in making this a brilliant diving experience. We had a water villa and the views from the doors, whilst lying in bed, are just brilliant. Be aware that it is quite tidal so the depth of water as you descend the steps into the sea can be quite variable and it is very rocky so sea shoes are a must. The food in the all-inclusive restaurant was very good, varied and tasty. We didn't bother with the speciality restaurants for this very reason. The bar make excellent cocktails too!

The variety of accessible sealife from the beaches is limited when snorkeling. There is an abundance of sealife outside the house reef but that extends hundreds of metres from the shore in most places. You do get a free snorkeling trip included (plus a sunset cruise) but all subsequent snorkeling trips are $80 per person and I don't expect to pay that to see what I want to see from a Maldivian island.
