Location is amazing, but the hotel struggles to deliver in many fronts. Most things required extra effort, often reminding you that they are pushed to upsell instead of driven to give you a relaxing time. I work in the industry and have given proper feedback to the management team. They are under huge pressure to perform financially and, although they see it, their hands are tight as to what they can do to deliver value. We will not be coming back, given the enormous range of better options in the area.

It's ok for a 4-star. We spoke several times with the front desk manager (Shahin), who was outstanding! However, it feels like he cannot make big changes happen as the hotel is underinvested from the top. Shahin saved the experience -- without him we would have given this place a 2 star max. We reached out to senior management and were totally ignored. This actually explains why the place is unlikely to change in the future. GM is too busy thinking revenue, not experience. He won't get much revenue UNLESS he improves customer experiences.

If relaxation and simply enjoying the majesty of God is on your menu, this is the place for you. The paid actors are the beauty of the Indian Ocean that you get to marvel in from the overwater bungalows and the incredible staff. They are so sweet and attentive. Everyone. The bartenders made me "my own" cocktail and the ladies at the spa have been blessed with magical hands. Also, the all inclusive package is a really good value!

An Unforgettable Stay in Paradise We recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning property in the Maldives, and I can confidently say it was an experience beyond perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was seamless and memorable. The service was truly impeccable. Every request was met with promptness and care, and the staff’s attention to detail was outstanding. Whether it was personalized dining experiences, organizing excursions, or just the daily housekeeping, everything was handled with grace and professionalism. The team made us feel like the most important guests at the resort, catering to our every need.
