We had a lovely stay at this beach hotel in the Maldives. The hotel was in a beautiful location, and the beach made the whole experience feel really special. One of the highlights of our trip was seeing nurse sharks in the sea, which was very cool and something we will always remember.
The food was really nice and there was a good variety of different choices, so there was something for everyone. My favourite meal was definitely the paneer korma, which I really enjoyed. The drinks were also very convenient, as you could simply help yourself from the fridge whenever you wanted one.
Our room was very clean and comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
The only downside was the entertainment, as it wasn’t very good and could definitely be improved. However, overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

An incredible experience, with an exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, always willing to help, from the reception team to the waiters. Nisha, Bapuji, Sona, Shy and the entire bar team, among many others, made this stay even more special. The hotel, with views that seem straight out of paradise, is simply unforgettable.
Lovely short stay!
