I wish there were more snack bar options or other restaurants included in the All Inclusive package so that we would be able to eat at different times. That would be the only thing missing from the trip.

This is one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life.
First of all, the snorkelling experiences from the diving centre are incredible. We did a shark and a manta snorkelling. Thanks to the expertise of the coaches, we were able to get close with the sharks and spot a few mantas. One of the highlights goes to bumping into lots of dolphins during our speedboat ride. If Maldives is not a miracle, I don’t know what is. Trust me, you would not want to miss out from those tours. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our guides, Salt, Adam, and Magic, and other crew members who helped in the tour. Their professionalism and enthusiasm made the trip wholesome. Can you believe that we were able to swim relaxingly next to lots of sharks!? This is because of their work! Once again, thank you everyone from the dive centre.
Secondly, regarding the food and catering, we had a decent buffet every day. The food was somehow repetitive but as a non picky eater, I don’t find it a problem at all. Shout out to the best pancake chef Thara whose banana pancakes were finger licking good and her hospitality was truly commendable. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manaia(sorry if I misspelled), who served our table with a big smile every day, making us feel welcomed and warm.
Last but not least, if I were to give you some tips, please do bring water-shoes as the water ground is somewhat rocky and spiky and apply sunscreen to all parts of your skin. Don’t underestimate the UV. I got rashes all over my body from sunbathing for an hour. It was itchy and you would not want to experience that.
Good luck to your trip, Cheerio!

Special mention to:
Rumesh and Raufa
Both of them made us feel instantly welcome. Raufa continued to check in with us daily to ensure we were having a pleasant stay.
Irufaadh
He was our main waiter for the stay and was absolutely brilliant. He very quickly picked up our preferences and would have our lattes ready in the morning before we even had a chance to order. We celebrated my husband’s birthday whilst out here and Irufaadh pulled out all the stops to ensure that my husband had a fantastic birthday breakfast. Very quick and efficient in his role and made us feel welcome each mealtime.
Thank you, Irufaadh.
Chef Chataranga, Chef Thara and Chef Nilantha.
All the chefs were great and the food was truly delicious. We are vegetarian and felt there was plenty of choice each night.
We were particularly appreciative of Chef Nilantha who works the live station at lunch and would make every effort to make us a vegetarian treat each day.
Chef Thara made my husband’s birthday special with a stack of pancakes to his liking for breakfast and checked in with us regularly to ensure we were happy with the food and service.
Sous Chef Chataranga is visible every meal time ensuring that he is helping out when it gets busy - great to see!
Naseer
He was our cleaner and was always so helpful. He realised that my husband preferred Diet Coke so started adding this to our mini fridge each day. He also decorated our room for the special occasions we were celebrating.
Positives
Beautiful surroundings.
Amazing food.
Pleasant staff.
Sharks visible on the beach and larger sharks by the water villas.
Marine sea life, especially near the villas.
Top tips
Bring water shoes as the beach can be quite rocky in places.
Snorkeling gear can be requested free of charge from the diving area.
You can speak to Rumesh or Raufa to request a table of your choice in the dining area. We requested a table overlooking the ocean and this request was met within a couple of days.
Hermit crabs are everywhere there is sand so be careful not to crush them.
