We just came back from a wonderful couple/friends' holiday at Ozen Life Madhoo organised by Transitours (Raúl, the best!). This was our fourth time in this resort and it's getting better and better every time. The new manager Mei has made a few very positive changes that clearly translate into the cleanliness and organisation of the resort in general. Everything is clean and well looked-after and you really appreciate this when you go to a vacation like this. Our butler Shuhad was excellent, very attentive to details and trying to make our experience unforgettable in every way. He was always quick in replying to us and very kind. I need to highlight the high quality of the food you can find in this resort. You can get from haute-cuisine to burgers (all home-made on the islands). They bake their own breads and pastries and even have a greenhouse with hydroponic vegetables that taste delicious. I need to highlight the work of Sony, the chef in Indoceylon and The Palms. His food is incredible and he always spoils us with whatever we feel like eating. He says "tell me what you want and I cook for you". He's awesome. Also, we booked a private barbecue on the beach this time, which was an amazing experience. Our chef Sajan grilled everything for us from lobster to tenderloin. You could tell he has great experience in grilling different types of meats. All was delicious and cooked in the perfect way. Our waiter Aalif was so kind and sweet and as well as Sajan made our night a unique experience. The resort has a nice gym, which we use every day when we go there. This year our trainers were Ashis and Pappu, (professional body builders!!), they were always ready to train us and meet our requests. It was fun and we left the island fitter than when we arrived thanks to them. The ladies at the spa were great too. Kochi from Buthan is amazing! We had a couple of therapies. They do their job so well!!! In addition, every time we go back to Ozen, it makes us happy to see the same staff, always happy to see us and do their best to make us feel good. Erika, Mari, Zain, Ahil, and many others whose names I don't remember... great waiters, always doing their job in the best possible way, with a warm smile. The villas were very clean and our helper, Izram, was great too. We've been going back to this same resort and will keep on coming back. The staff at the water sport center are amazing as well. They look after you. I have to say that we have made really dear friends there through the years, people with whom not only do we coincide in Ozen but we try to see in other places in the world too. Ozen made these friendships possible. It's such a special place!! Thank you, amazing Ozen staff, for these wonderful holidays!!! Read less

We had a fantastic family visit this time returning with our 2 grown up kids and their partners. We weren’t disappointed having made contact with our previous butler to organise our itinerary. Simah did a fantastic job at organising everything in advance including our rooms and restaurants and arranged other activities during our stay. Everything was superb on the island - the food offering at the Palms was just as good as our last visit 2 years ago. The team members - Hakeem, Rhizma and Ali in particular were superb. Our visit to M6M was just as memorable as last time and the IndoCeylon and Peking were also great. On this visit we weren’t disappointed having keen to understand more about the work of the marine biologists. Following a chat with Nunu and Marta they kindly agreed to take us out to show us their work to create a new man made reef and the cages which they have located just beyond the IndoCeylon on the edge of the reef - fantastic work which most customers are not aware of and hopefully the hotel can make of this great work in future. This was a great experience as we also spotted a couple of turtles. Overall a great experience again at Ozen - we saw where the construction work was taking place however don’t be put off - we never heard anything and the area has been sympathetically screened. We will be back again for another stay in paradise in future ! Read less
