Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better resting spot before our flight. The hotel had a plunge pool, a clean environment, and a separate bathroom, making our 5+ hours stay extremely relaxing. The rooms were spacious with a wonderful view, although lacking AC. The service was exceptional, with everyone from gardeners to managers going out of their way to fulfill our wishes. However, there was an unfortunate incident of a staff member raising their voice and calling my room repeatedly after midnight, which was quite unsettling. The location was a true gem with beautiful white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, but the costs, especially for food and beverages, were unexpectedly high. The dining experience offered a variety of options, including continental, Mediterranean, and Maldivian dishes, resulting in a delightful experience. Overall, the hotel offered a serene environment perfect for a stress-free vacation.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was fantastic, and the beach access and pool area were perfect for relaxation with my family. The service was exceptional, making our honeymoon experience truly wonderful. The location was stunning, but dining options were a bit pricey. Overall, a top-notch experience fulfilling all criteria for a world-class hotel.
The hotel offers beautifully furnished and spacious rooms with all comforts, including a private enclosed garden with a pool and outdoor shower. The service was exceptional, creating unforgettable moments with a cheerful and well-trained staff. Prepare for high costs in dining but enjoy a location by the stunning waters of the Indian Ocean. The dining options are varied and enjoyable.
