My arrival experience: Warm welcome from the staff before escorted me to the room.
What I liked the most: The design and the food are better than most resorts I’ve stayed at in the Maldives.
What about the food: Surprisingly good food at the water villas restaurant. Thudufushi is a bit better, but I enjoyed their la carte options a lot.
What about the service: Great staff in all areas of the hotel. Especially Nicola, which is a top professional.
What about the rooms: Beautiful rooms with a minimalistic design. I stayed in a water villa with a comfortable bed, Apple Computer, rain shower and a large outdoor area. Two things I would recommend to replace. 1) The phone. It’s bad and should have a speaker option. 2) The bathroom amenities. They are bad and wouldn’t use them for showering. They are planning to implement a new product soon. The rooms are overall almost identical to their Thudufushi property.
Number of rooms: 73.
Type of property: Resort.
Location: Maldives.
Facilities: Spa.
Complimentary internet: Yes, but very slow. Probably the slowest of any resort I have stayed in the Maldives. There was no internet at all for the last many hours of my stay. The President of the company has informed me they are about to install fibre internet at the resort, and it would be great to stay in future for an improved experience.
My overall impression: Great+ experience. A wonderful resort in many ways. As they are aware of their internet problem and planning to fix it soon, I am happy to rank it Great+ for their beautiful rooms, great service and surprisingly good food.
