We recently stayed at The Westin Maldives and had a wonderful experience overall. The room was extremely comfortable and well-appointed, providing everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.
The staff deserves special recognition for their attentiveness and hospitality throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and made us feel truly welcome.
The dining experience was exceptional - the food was delicious with great variety and quality. We were impressed with the culinary offerings across different restaurants.
A special shoutout to Rohit for the fantastic tennis lesson! It was definitely a highlight of our trip and added great value to our stay.
The only minor issue we encountered was that the billiards/foosball table was out of order, but this was really a small inconvenience and didn't impact our overall enjoyment.
Recommendation for the hotel: It would be great to upgrade the in-room TVs to smart TVs, allowing guests to access streaming services like YouTube. This would be a nice modern touch for the rooms.
Despite the minor issue, we highly recommend The Westin Maldives for anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable tropical getaway. We would definitely consider returning in the future.

We vacationed during the low season, which turned out to be wonderfully warm and peaceful.
Let me start with what matters most to us - sleep. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, perfectly soft without being too plush. There's a selection of different pillows available, and if none suit you, simply call and they'll find the perfect pillow for…

We vacationed during the low season, which turned out to be wonderfully warm and peaceful.
Let me start with what matters most to us - sleep. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, perfectly soft without being too plush. There's a selection of different pillows available, and if none suit you, simply call and they'll find the perfect pillow for you.
The air conditioning system is brilliantly designed - it doesn't blow directly on you but gently cools the room, creating an incredibly comfortable sleeping environment.
The food is beyond praise - absolutely delicious and high-quality. The waitstaff remember your favorite dishes and anticipate your desires perfectly.
Tired of standard menu items? Simply ask the staff and they'll surprise you with something special. The chef prepared a baked fish dish especially for us - it was absolutely divine.
Curious about how the hotel operates? No problem at all. Our personal concierge, Julia, organized a fascinating tour of the hotel's internal engineering facilities. When our child wanted a cinnabon that wasn't available, Julia immediately sprang into action, coordinating with the kitchen to have cinnabons prepared. If that doesn't convince you of the exceptional service - Julia also arranged our 15th anniversary celebration into a perfect day, with thoughtful touches that made it truly memorable.
You can maintain your fitness routine in the excellent, well-equipped gym. A personal trainer is available to help, support, and provide a workout partner if needed.
The private pool isn't very large, but it's perfectly comfortable for intimate conversations while watching the clouds drift by.
If you're adventurous enough, the coral reefs with their diverse marine life await you. During our swimming sessions, we observed sea turtles, sharks, and an incredible variety of fish.
We were particularly enchanted by our dolphin encounter. It's like visiting a delphinium, but in their natural habitat. I highly recommend this experience.
This is the kind of vacation where you completely disconnect from all worries and simply indulge in pure enjoyment.
