We visited the Maldives for the first time and we made the right choice to stay in third hotel. The island is not very small , and so beautiful and interesting. You feel yourself free and calm, swim at any place you like, walking at the night watching stars. Every beach is clean and has its own advantages.( But can’t advise you to choose garden bungalows because you won’t have ocean view), every other place is nice to stay. We lived in a water villa and it was amazing, every evening we were enjoying sunset from our terrace, and in the night observing lots of fish swimming around. For people who have holidays without children i advice to choose Sangu area. Also the hotel have great dive center, guys who work there are soo cool, energetic and professional, you’re sure to have great time and be safe during the trips. highly recommended! The house reef not very rich, corals are dead, but anyway a lot of beautiful fish, and turtles are 100% to meet if you snorkel in lagoon near the main beach. The staff is very professional and polite . Many thanks to Rina for her hospitality, she was always in touch with us on WhatsApp and helped with any questions. All the service at the hotel is very welcoming, they always try to do everything for the guests, and you get more than expected. Ps. be careful with sandflies, not a big amount of them, we met them only once but we’re not ready Read less
