The beds were very comfortable. The staff was making sure everything was fine on a daily basis. The villa was clean with a wonderful view. The entertainment was light, never heavy, to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. Food was very good. Vernon was great and made sure everything was right. He even sang for us some John Denver and Shaggy songs! Only thing I would suggest, the hairdryer wasn't great and kept coming out the outlet while in use. I would suggest two hairdryers in the villas and of better quality. I also wouldn't allow guests to be barefoot in the main restaurant. Read less

Wow what a wonderful stay in paradise. The Prestige Water Villas experience was pure luxury. Our butler Addhu was the perfect mix, attentive, helpful, communicative and impressive attention to detail and punctuality. The overwater villa was beautiful. The balcony was just as described with private jacuzzi and window to the sea to view the amazing fish. We snorkeled from the balcony and enjoyed the private beach and pool. Service was impeccable everywhere we went. The food in the Villa restaurant was a constant surprise and delight with delicious tastes at every turn. It was a spectacle on a plate. We particularly enjoyed the service from Sam and Nuaim in the restaurant. I enjoyed a trip on the catamaran with the knowledgeable and interstellar Sande and felt safe with the watersports team. The spa team were excellent and even the shopping was affordable. The nightlife was fun and plenty on offer. Moosa was an excellent housekeeper! The two free excursions were relaxing and enjoyable. The sunsets from our villa and the sunset bar were spectacular. It's just going home that is difficult. But travelling by seaplane makes it so exciting. Read less

We stayed 9 nights in this pleasant and very well run resort. From landing at Male and connecting to the resort to returning, both via seaplane, everything was seamlessly organised, and we were always kept aware of what was going on. Our room was comfortable, and the food very good, although the main restaurant could get busy and tables in the central area were very close together. 9.30 is far too early to finish breakfast. We had most meals in the Indian restaurant, Sufura, which is much quieter and has fantastic food changing daily. Chef Singh presides over the tandoors and we enjoyed daily fresh garlic naan and masala dosas. Abdhulla looked after us very well! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff: the water sports guys fixed my snorkel mask attachment and repaired the sole of my wife’s boat shoe! Snorkelling off the end of the North jetty was spectacular, but at times the current was very strong so get advice from the dive team. The big downside is that, at any outdoor venue, poolside, bar or restaurant, smokers can indulge anywhere they liked. I have seen comments below by managers saying they would look into it but nothing has been done. It really spoils a nice drink or meal when two chain smokers sit next to you and light up. Why not provide smoke free areas outdoors as well as indoors? Read less
