This has been a very good experience. The staff at the resort has been so kind and very welcoming. Always seen with a smile I came with my 11 year old and my 11 month old And both of them loved the people here. The food is great the room is great but the people are the best we have met so far.

Stayed 3 nights at The Standard Maldives overwater villa and had a great time! A highlight was the house reef where we saw reef sharks, rays, a turtle and lotssss of fish. We also went to see mantas at Kottefaru (were told that the season is late and Hanifaru has not called with significant manta sightings in the last week). The good thing about the tours is that there are people patrolling the sites to spot mantas, if a group is spotted they disseminate to the resorts via WhatsApp and then a trip down is planned quickly, which minimises the chance of a wasted trip. Staff were great and huge thank you to Eva for coordinating our trip seamlessly and always being so friendly and energetic! Also thank you to the housekeeper for villa 28, the staff who drive the buggies and the waitstaff and chefs at Kula restaurant. Our room was super well kept and we were extremely well fed throughout the trip Read less
