This place is absolutely stunning. Clear blue water, plenty of sea life and lot of activities for kids of all age. The staff here are very approachable and greet the guest with a smile. The rooms are clean and bed is equipped with best mattress you can get. Our family had an absolute cracking time even though it’s rained a lot on one of the days. The staff arranged lot of indoor activities for the kids, which allowed the grown up to have a great time as well. We stayed 5 night but I would recommend at least 7 days or more. You will never get tired of majestic view and serene deep blue water. I would rate our stay more 5 stars!. Rest assured, we will be back here again!

Wonderful place, large island and so is the resort. Everything perfect during our 9 day holiday from the food, to the activities, to the cleanliness and the room. We had a water villa and I recommend everyone to try the experience of sleeping on the water and overlooking the turquoise sea of ​​the Maldives. However, the thing that made the difference for us was the staff; always kind, smiling, thoughtful, attentive to the customer's needs but never intrusive. Truly a pleasant surprise. Regards from Italy.

Overall enjoyable
Excellent service staff when it comes to regular service that they are used to do, but inflexible in special circumstances. E.g there was a night with heavy rain & lightning and there is a rather long walk back to our room unsheltered. We tried to ask for transport back to room seeing how their vehicles are able to ride on the platform when ferrying luggages so it should be something doable. However, they refused saying they don't offer buggy service to rooms. While we understand that it is not something that is normally offered, we thought they be more flexible. It was a dangerous walk back, we couldn't hold up our umbrellas too as the wind was too strong. During our stay, we fell sick but was very lucky to meet a very kind and helpful doctor at the medical centre. She helped us to recover quickly so that we can get back to our daily activities. Appreciated the daily activities schedule where we can partake in various free exercises and yoga. Although for some classes, instructor's punctuality can be an issue. Referring to classes not held by the gym or yoga instructor. 1 of us is vegetarian so glad to have quite a variety of options. Though would like to suggest for an improvement in the cooking of fish, it was almost always overcooked.

This was our honeymoon and the experience was truly amazing. I unfortunately did experience food poisoning from the lamb chops after a dinner on the beach which caused me to be so sick the last full day and the plane ride home which took over 20 hours. Our fridge didn’t work as well but the staff was outstanding to get me ice whenever I needed it. We stayed on the bungalow and it was perfect! Lots of walking but we truly had the best time there !!!!!

Loved everything, staff was very nice. They offer activities and a lot of complementary things. However, food is only available at the restaurants and cost a pretty penny (I would plan to spend a lot on food). Also the island/property is pretty big and golf carts are needed for transportation so you’re stuck waiting for them most of the time. They should have more carts circulating around. Other than that everything was great. Don’t forget to take water shoes, the beach is rocky.
