The hotel

Spread across two stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

Stayed in the grand beach suite with pool with wife and 2 kids ( 2 and 4). Kids loved it. Housekeeping twice a day, mini bar re-filled daily with soft drinks. Spacious room, beautiful view of the beach. Private pool which was great for the family. Modern facilities in the room. 2 showers (1 of which was outdoor which was incredible!) really could not fault the room. Shuttle service available to get to anywhere was good as the islands were quite far apart. There is a mosque on site for Friday prayers which was great too. Sathish was very helpful with house keeping and always did a fantastic job. Clear blue waters, lots of water activities, kids play areas. A nice spa too and very reasonably priced massage options. Azey was our host and was on hand to help with any queries or questions we had. Arranged some medical treatment for myself after an injury on the first day and made sure I was looked after. Plenty of restaurants on site as part of the all inclusive package but quality was lacking. Dine around menu was available but the menu’s were limited and a la carte menus were extortionate. Service in some restaurants wasn’t great. “Computer says no” attitude at times which was frustrating. Often found some waiters were busy on their phones at breakfast when we needed their attention. Asked for some water at breakfast and was told this was “self service” and they couldn’t bring some for my kids. Was constantly reminded at breakfast that “buffet closes in 15/30 minutes” so they’re not longer able to provide us with any drinks. Perhaps extend breakfast time to 11 as oppose to 10? Or even 10.30? Also, at check in we had to wait 3 hours for room to be ready which was understandable due to the time of our flight/transfer etc. But wanted some food for the kids and as it wasn’t a “meal time” there was no food available for 2 hours. This needs to be looked at. Must be a facility where people can get food between meal times especially when traveling with kids. Would give the place a 5* rating had it not been for the challenges with food and service at some restaurants. An enjoyable trip on the whole. Read less
