Fantastic family holiday with family of 7. From landing in the Maldives to leaving you are well taken care of. All the staff are welcoming and friendly and Sharyann our butler ensured our stay was a memorable one. The island is beautiful (although one side we felt was a lot nicer than the other), we were lucky enough to be staying on the nicer side, immaculate and beautiful rooms with everything you need. The best is that every villa has a pool which we weren't sure if we'd use being on a beautiful beach but we used it everyday and was lovely to chill in the evenings and made the island stand out from previous islands. The food was great and plenty of options, staff in all the restaurants were also so friendly. The staff at Chemistry especially the girls were outstanding and helped make our stay an enjoyable one, remembered your drinks and room numbers by the 2nd day and were always very attentive. I'd say the staff were more lapse and no so attentive at the adult bar and pool. We tried the lobster BBQ which was well worth it and such a beautiful setting all lit up and also the Teppanyaki which again would definitely recommend and well worth the extra for both the food and entertainment. We also made use of the watersports most days and booked an additional trip to see the turtles and nurse sharks which was an amazing experience and again well worth doing. The staff at the water sports were also great and made our trip both enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to everyone on the island. Read less

Everything was smooth and carefully. Good food, everyone can find yourself. Special request also available, like in my case (some diet). I only can recommend to prepare more ingredients for fresh and healthy smoothies. Special thanks to Rilwan!

Our entire stay in the Maldives was magical, the cottage we stayed in was extraordinary. The food was delicious, interesting, sometimes surprising for us. Beautiful views, extraordinary trips. Thanks to our cottage keeper Mithu, our room was always clean, fragrant and prepared for our comfort. Thank you for everything.

Amazing Maldivian Holiday experience. The island is green and the beach was beautiful, the people were amazing and to top it off the food was extra delicious. The beach villa was perfect for my family as it had direct access to the beach, while the ocean villas also had direct access to the house Reef 😄.
