Adaya ayak basmamizdan once daha havalimaninda basladi memnuniyetimiz. Ve sonuna kadar devam etti odalar (sunset, jakuzili oda da kaldik) günde 2 kere yapilan temizlik mis gibi kokan havlular çarşaflar, odadan çıkar çıkmaz önünüzde uzanan essiz turkuaz deniz size özel plajiniz, yemekler, tesisteki olanaklar, gordugunuz tum personelin selamsiz gecmemesi ve inanılmaz yardımseverlikleri. Adanin ayni zamanda lokal diger adaya bagli olmasi sebebiyle istediginizde o bolgeye de gecip maldivler yerel hayatinida gorebilme imkani say say bitmiyor. Cok iyi organize ekip...odamiza bakan aslam, bar cuda beachteki hemal, servisteki tum ekip ve sefler herbirinize özel tesekkurler. Mutlaka yeniden gormek istiyorum harika anilarla geri dönüyoruz

Etrafta yeterince küllük olmamasi, buggy beklerken en azindan ortak alanlarda bekleme banklarinin fazla olmasi

"Mediocre experience that could easily be improved"

7.0

The room we were given was very nice and spacious. 2 great pools, layout of the island is easy to understand

From the arrival it is immediately evident that the island has vast amounts of seagrass off the beaches. This is off putting and unlike any of the several other islands we have stayed in before. Other than Sunset Beach on the one end, which is somewhat better, we did not see a single person swim anywhere else on the island. The beaches themselves are white and with soft powdery sand but the water mostly unappealing. Insufficient loungers and umbrellas, many of which are damaged. The "Sunrise villas" (which one accepts as being cheaper as sunrise is not as popular as sunset) are on the side of the island which basically has no beach, is full of coral and not even possible to get into the sea. This should have been communicated rather than hidden. Had we known we would have happily paid for a room where we could actually access a beach and sea. An additional dissapointing aspect of our stay was the entire food and beverage experience...insufficient choice/variety, virtually no fish despite being an island, no fresh fruit available, no flavoured yoghurts at breakfast, poor selection of desserts masked by a tripplication of the same items yet all on display at the same area of the buffet. Poor replenishing of all products with guests often having to request from staff. Dining room service of an extremely poor standard in terms of clearing tables (not unusual to finish several courses and leave the dining area with all the dirty dishes still on the table), re setting (guests would more often than not sit at dirty tables), insufficient waitering staff, ineffective floor management etc etc. Overall an abysmal level of management, service and quality of food.

Preis Leidtung ok. Hätte alles wenig besser sein können.

Das Resort benötigt dringend Renovierung. Buffet ist lieblos, große Auswahl dennoch vieles identisch.
