I can honestly say this was one of the best resorts I’ve ever stayed at in my life. I’ve been to the Maldives twice before, but this time was completely different and truly exceptional. The resort is spotless, and the staff are kind, polite, and respectful, which made the entire experience unique and memorable. It’s an excellent choice for families, with very fair pricing and complete honesty in everything. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, and each villa has a dedicated assistant who is always helpful, attentive, and quick to respond. I would especially like to highlight Achala, who was incredibly fast, helpful, and always attentive. He planned everything for us in the best possible way, making our entire stay smooth and unforgettable. The restaurants offered plenty of delicious options, and every meal was enjoyable thanks to the great service and quality. Special thanks as well to Mo in the main restaurant for his kindness and professionalism, and to the Syrian chef for the authentic flavors that made the dining experience even more special. We had the most beautiful vacation here, and I wholeheartedly recommend this resort to everyone, regardless of nationality or background. The staff are respectful of all cultures and religions, and they have speakers of many languages, including Arabic, which makes everything easier and more welcoming. A five-star experience in every way, I can’t wait to return💕💕 Read less

Amazing resort in an amazing setting of turquoise water. We have an ocean pool villa at end of a walk way. Villa was absolutely beautiful with picture perfect ocean view from you king size plush bed. We spent hours in the pool taking in view over a bottle of Pinot Gris and snacks. The whole establishment is less than coupe of years old so everything is picture perfect. Colour scheme is well coordinated with the surrounds. From the time you land you are taken care off. Our concierge, Jerry made everything a breeze, he was amazing. From managing our daily activity to accomodating any changes and additions, informing us of weather and low tides (handy to know when to jump into ocean from your villa😊) Also have good spread of restaurants from middle eastern to Italian and the amazing Ampersand (fusion fine dining). Breakfast and lunch buffet were also extensive with good choices of fresh make your own juices and meal. Shout out to the Hospitality manager of the main restaurant (Amit I believe his name was) and the young manager of pool bar who managed to pull strings to get a table in a packed booking. The friendliness of staff from waiters to housekeeper and buggy drivers was just sensational. Have been to few 5 star destinations but this tops it all. We are looking at coming back for our next milestone event. Don’t think…..just book it!!!! You will not regret it . Read less
