Cleaning environment, quiet and conveniency. What I don’t like commuting from room without transportation especially my room being far away. I had to walk 10 to 15 mins to dining and to main office. The first day I came I had wait for an 1hr before the boat could move Because we had to wait for another travelers. Which is not nice. I had long flights of 19hrs.

Nice resort but definitely not close to 5 stars. Four stars at best. Our beach villas were spacious but old and tired-looking. Toiletries were so bad (big jars of shampoo and shower gel, no hair conditioner) that we had to buy our own. Food was the weakest of other Maldivian hotels/resorts we've experienced: limited choices of dishes, almost no fruits and very few vegetables, not very tasty. The a-la carte restaurants were better. Positives: very nice spa at reasonable prices.Great diving center. Many private beach areas with lovely views, never felt crowded. Overall this is very nice resort if you plan on a 4-star vacation and pay decent price.

Staff, were very friendly throughout, also very helpful and knowledgeable when we asked questions. Food was good and service came with a smile. Room was fine, but not luxurious, but then we didn’t expect it to be so no problems there. All inclusive was nice to have. House reef was nice, lots of fish and sharks to see and it was right on our doorstep Special thanks to our waitress and waiters with whom we had a good chat each day.
