Each time we return, we notice thoughtful improvements, and this visit was no exception. The continuous upgrades to the facilities and rooms are absolutely on point. For the first time, we stayed in an overwater villa with a slide and jacuzzi… and wow, what an experience! Both features were simply brilliant and added an extra layer of fun and relaxation to our stay. The room updates have made the villas feel even more modern, spacious, and luxurious, we were genuinely impressed. Although we don’t have children, we couldn’t help but notice the fantastic enhancements to the Kids Club area. It already looked great before, but now it seems even more inviting and well thought out. As always, the true heart of this resort is its people. The service and staff are beyond exemplary and are the reason we return time and time again. Every single team member is empowered to make your stay memorable, and they consistently go above and beyond. This visit was particularly meaningful, as my husband had some difficulty eating, and the staff were incredibly attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring in adapting to his needs. Their kindness and understanding meant so much to us. Dining experiences once again exceeded expectations. M6M and Lonu were, as always, outstanding, simply fabulous. But Traditions, The Palms, and the Friday beach event continue to be just as special and memorable in their own way. We also really enjoyed the live music at The Palms this time, the performers were amazing and added such a great atmosphere to our evenings. We also took a boat trip with the wonderful team from the Sports Centre. Their professionalism and warmth mean we trust them completely, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable and memorable. A huge thank you to everyone - from JDV, M6M, The Palms, and Traditions teams, to the butlers, housekeeping, bar staff, and management. You all play such an important role in creating unforgettable experiences. Thank you once again for giving us the most amazing memories—ones we will treasure forever. We are already counting down the days until we see you all again in November! Read less

Ozen Maadhoo is well situated- a 45 minute speed boat transfer from Male. Having travelled to some of the top resorts & locations in the world - Ozen sits comfortably amongst them- There is a beautiful simplicity to it - well designed style - A sense of calm offering such tranquility and genuine warmth from the ‘Maldivian Welcome’ to when one ‘departs with a wish that stay had been longer… Nothing is over the top Our choice of accommodation was an Earth Villa with pool - the bed was divine in its comfort- dressing room style ‘bathroom’ but bath and shower were outside which was lovely. What could have spoilt our holiday:- • The first butler - far from acceptable Guests socialise & talk…. and another Butler was recommended so highly we asked ‘could we have this Butler -it was efficiently actioned without fuss- - Faiko - a consummate professional- welcoming, kind , thoughtful - his allocated guests are his priority - every single staff member spoke so highly of him-‘ ‘Thank you Faiko , for vastly improving a situation ,that could have left us remembering an unpleasant element and spoilt our magical holiday.. Nothing was too much trouble for you - Welcoming and checking with us each day in person and WhatsApp . In background , organising some wonderful surprises for us all from your own thoughtfulness. • cleanliness of our accommodation- aspects were not initially as they should have been- this was fed-back and immediately rectified- Well done Gaa for addressing this with efficiency and such professionalism. • when staff are so good as the team in general - one or two can spoil the team. Last two days - in The Palms - new waitress- who was not at all attentive- She did not- We had to ask for :- water Not clearing our dishes away between courses I had to catch her attention for some wine - asked for Chablis - she brought Petit Chablis - I pointed out’ I had asked for Chablis. which she told me ‘Chablis was never served in the Palms’ even when I said ‘I had had it everyday. She told me again Chablis was Never served in the Palms - Guests near us heard and said she served wrong wine to them and not helped them . She was not interested in the guests and just laid up tables ——————————————— The Spa and quality of therapists was the best we had ever received from a resort and in fact from anywhere- anyone fortunate enough to have Rachit treat you will be phenomenal - his expertise is profound enhanced by his humility and care from his commitment to himself to offer the ultimate best … ——————————————————- Level of customer care was a constant ‘customer first’- whatever one’s needs were -met everyone’s approach came over as genuine… From - May ( GM) ,whose care was to ensure she met everyone and chatted never introducing herself by her-title- just aiming to meet the guests - to each of the support team in the restaurants…professional and welcoming. Cuisine was varied in gastronomic choices - all exceptional . The water sports were very good- Complements to all the staff we met in this beautiful paradise- you are part of our wonderful memories - We send special thanks to Faiko - you are of the highest level of your role Rachit - you are incredible therapist Erika, Zoona, Boni, Teresa, Tiff, Arkil and Gurham for your superb level of care in the Palms and Indoceylon. Sunny - what a fantastic surprise- serving us a bespoke meal which was exceptional. - you are gifted Chef. Tips:- The Wine- could be refined more -‘ less of it but better - such a M de Minuty Rose (Provence) and Champagne - the Tattinger and Henry du Bois and Guy Charbaurt- Memory- served across The Palms and Luno .

Super relaxing stay. Food choices / restaurants were very good. Loved the scuba diving. Staff could not be more helpful and attentive. Particular mentions go to Ayush, Mausoom (diving) and our waiter on the fantasy evening was great (saved up his money but kept blowing it when he went to Male), sorry I can't remember his name.
