Second time here and, WOW, so happy we chose here for my 50th birthday. From stepping off the plane at Male, we were looked after straight away. The staff are so warm, welcoming and really love their jobs. Sara Ji, greeted us warmly, she had nothing but lovely things to say about the general manager Christian, who also greeted us. He is always about seeing that everyone is happy and having the perfect break. He’s very present and approachable, very impressed with him!. The restaurants are sublime, our favourite is definitely Faru, best burrata outside of Italy!!. Fish was fresh, steak perfect, nothing was less than excellent. Stand out staff were shaaban (always smells fabulous). Laamiu, Sukan and Nina. They really looked after us. Battuta, stand out staff were Ramittay, Muaaz, Suma and again the lovely Shaabin. Food was excellent, lovely atmosphere, had a lovely birthday meal here. Capers and jade are also excellent, loved the theme nights and the fabulous chefs. Especially the lovely smiley egg station man and lady. Asfaaq and Naseem ( aka Martin) stood out from service and smiles. I had a hot stone massage with Pooja at the spa that was phenomenal, so relaxing and lovely essential oils used. The pre sheet request was very clever, asking the type of pressure, essential oils and experience I’d like. It was the best massage I’ve ever had. The Haali bar is stunning, so relaxing and has the best views on the island, we saw crabs, baby sharks and manta rays with cocktails in hand, wonderful saxophone playing in the background. Prabu and Surya always looked after us. At night we loved the East bar for a sophisticated atmosphere, staff remembered our names, room numbers, where we were from. Nila was such a sweetie and helped teach me some words in Balinese, she was so attentive and friendly. Also two guys on our first night that made my favourite gin, limoncello and lemonade drink. Wish i could remember their names. Our housekeeping staff and fridge stockists were also excellent. We had a range of animals to meet us every night, fashioned from towels and leaves. Very impressive. Naaiz was our main housekeeper and kept everything immaculate. I could go on forever about how perfect the place, staff, rooms, food and attention to detail is. We will be back, this place is my heaven on earth. Thank you all for all you did, looking after us and making our holiday perfect ❤️. Read less

Our favourite was to go in from the dive centre and snorkel down to the Haali bar where there are towels then get the buggy back (after a drink!). Would highly recommend. Read less
