Our stay in a Sunset Water Villa was truly a dream come true. The setting was absolutely stunning and made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Everyone greeted us with a smile, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay. The food was also a highlight. There was a great variety of themed stations, including wok, flambé, taco, and more, which kept every meal interesting. We especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and vegetable juice shooters offered at each meal. The welcome drink—raw mango juice—was a standout as well, something we genuinely liked and were pleasantly surprised by. We would like to give special recognition to several staff members who made our stay even more memorable. Sandun was incredibly friendly and reminded us of a close friend who loves to joke around. He always greeted us with a big smile, was happy to have a quick chat, and actively sought feedback, which left a great impression on us. Our waiters, Maishan and Irufáadh, were fantastic—attentive, efficient, and quick to clear the table. On our first day, Irufáadh noticed us looking around, as we were seated farther from the beach and quietly discussing in Bulgarian whether to move. Without us even asking, he kindly offered us a table right by the beach, showing remarkable attentiveness and care. We would also like to highlight a thoughtful gesture from a member of the reception team (we unfortunately didn’t catch her name but will update this review once we do). She noticed us walking toward reception, stopped her vehicle, and kindly offered us a ride—a small but very meaningful act that we truly appreciated. There was a minor issue with our shower head and one of the outdoor lamps, but both were resolved very quickly by the maintenance team, which we appreciated. Overall, we had an amazing experience and felt very well taken care of throughout our stay. Read less

We arrived on the island to a warm welcome from staff. Checkin was very smooth and we were delighted to be upgraded to the private island. It really is a peaceful paradise! The rooms are stunning and have everything you need. We stayed in a beach bungalow, effectively with our own private beach outside our room. The sea is simply beautiful for snorkelling adventures or a quick chill from the heat of the day. The staff couldn’t do enough to provide everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Their attention to detail, remembering your choice of drink and refilling glasses frequently. My need for gluten free options was understood and the team offered plenty of alternatives to accommodate me. A particular shout out to Hannan, who went over and above at every meal to look after us, showing a real pride in his team and restaurant. The chefs were really friendly, also going over and above to prepare amazing food with love, care and attention. The range on offer was vast. Special thanks to Charkuran and Anjeli for preparing my amazing birthday dinner on the beach. They looked after us at every meal, checking we had everything we needed. Cocktail o’clock was also a highlight with friendly bar staff at all times. Nandana, Prathima, Kasun, Shakthi and Chamara were always friendly and served up great drinks daily. This is a really special place to stay. We would thoroughly recommend it as an adults only retreat! Thank you for making our holiday one to remember 🙏🏻 Read less

I've given the hotel 5 stars overall as it is a lovely luxurious holiday for a special occasion in our case. I'd sworn never to go all inclusive again but this has changed my view completely. I'm not sure if it's always the case or if the hotel was quieter than normal but everyone had their own table in the restaurant which meant you didn't have to queue to be seated, you could just go straight to your table. It meant you mostly had the same waiter too, ours was Nihaanu and he was excellent, always quick to get our drinks and clear our plates between courses without being intrusive at all. I also wanted to point out that lovely coffee served with hot frothy milk is available at meals as I was disappointed when I read that cappuccinos, lattes etc were only available on the premium drinks package. Also I'd read that the white wine wasn't great but it was fine and I'm fussy, normally only drink NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (a bottle of that costs $75 here!) A few things I wish I'd known before I went: Although I'm glad I had the experience of staying in one of the over the water bungalows, as someone with minor mobility issues, I did find the walk to and from them a bit nerve-wracking because of the lack of hand rails and if you forgot something from your room if you're in one of the further away ones it's quite a walk back. Luckily my husband was happy to go back for my book/ glasses etc. I also found the access into the sea from the room a bit scary. I thought it was going to be steps down but it's a few steps and then a ladder with a handrail on one side only and quite big gaps between the treads. I'm not scared of water at all, it was actually the fact that the water was so shallow at times that I worried if you slipped in you would hurt yourself on the coral. As I say this won't be an issue for lots of people but I think if I was going again I would choose a beach bungalow instead for these reasons although the snorkeling wouldn't be as good. The water on the beach side never gets very deep at all. Having the boat trip twice a day to another reef is good but it is the same one each time even though they seem to imply they go to different ones. The evening entertainment was a bit mixed but I did love movie night, watching a film on the beach, lying on a sunbed under the stars was special. Read less

Staying in an over-the-water villa in the Maldives has been a dream of mine since I was a child, and it completely lived up to every expectation. After a week of adventure and action in Sri Lanka, four nights here were the perfect way to relax, reset, and simply do nothing. We had a sunrise-facing villa, and though I usually love sunsets, I found myself waking up before 6 am every morning to watch the most incredible sunrise from our terrace with a cup of tea, listening to the waves—it was magical. Sunrise really is worth it: you can literally roll out of bed and enjoy it, something you can’t quite get on the sunset side, where sunsets can be enjoyed anywhere on the island - ideally from the pool bar with a little cocky t. The resort itself felt peaceful and quiet due to being only about 25% full because of the war, yet the staff remained exceptional. The grounds were immaculate thanks to the gardening team, who worked around the clock to keep everything looking perfect. Every member of the team—from reception and housekeeping to the bar and restaurant—went out of their way to make our stay special. The buffet exceeded expectations, with fantastic all-inclusive dining, and the snorkelling trip to the reef was a real highlight. We loved wandering the jetties at sunset, spotting sharks and manta rays. The spa teaser massage was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the celebrations for our birthdays and anniversary—from decorations in the villa to cakes and songs at dinner—felt incredibly thoughtful and personal. The villa was a perfect refuge from the midday heat: after lunch, the sunrise villa balcony stayed in nice shade, so the room was cool and comfortable, making it easy to relax during the hottest part of the day. If I had to note the tiniest thing, it would be that I wished for a nearby ice machine—but that’s on me, not the staff. I could have ordered room service for ice, I just didn’t want to trouble anyone to come all that way. For someone who usually struggles to switch off, this stay allowed me to lose myself in books, wander the island, and just soak in the sheer beauty around me. It was, quite simply, the dream of a lifetime, perfectly executed from start to finish. Read less
