A beautiful place in the world. There are 2 islands joined by a jetty. One is adults only but we stayed on the main island in a water bungalow. The island was a nice size (not too big) and our water bungalow was perfect. We have been to the Maldives three times before but never in a water bungalow. I can highly recommend it and our room boy, Haleem, looked after it daily for us and made sure we had everything we needed. The main restaurant had a wide choice of food and included a pasta station and a stir fry station. There was lots of fresh salad and we couldn’t fault the food. Our waiter was Nihaad. He was very polite, friendly and attentive. We had some nice chats with him and he is about to become a father for the first time. Good luck! We were also served by Fairooz when Nihaad was off. He was also polite and friendly. All of the staff were helpful and always greeted us. The snorkelling was good and we also fed the sharks. I didn’t want to go home! Read less

We were welcomed from the boat with a bamboo necklace & beating drums. Check in was very smooth & simple, everything explained about the hotel. Rooms are very clean with drinks fridge, coffee facilities, iron & ironing board which was a god send as we had come from a Sri Lanka tour, we were in a beach bungalow & the shower & separate toilet was open to the outside. The staff are very friendly, nice & helpful. Plenty of sunbeds & umbrellas & towels. Breakfast was a good choice, omlett & eggs Benedict cooked fresh. Lunch & dinner are good choices, sometimes quality lacks a little, your ok if you like curry, red wine was cabernet sauvignon & another choice very nice. Cocktails a little to strong for me. All in all it was a lovely experience. Read less
