Our first time to this lovely island, and had a truly wonderful time. Everything about this place is amazing, the people especially who look after you, to make the stay as perfect to us. Our host Anel kept us updated on things to do and assisted us when needed, thank you so much. We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa with pool which was lovely, everything you wanted in a room was there. The second week we stayed in a deluxe over water villa which took our experience to a higher level. Just to decide if you want to snorkelling with the reef sharks or just pop in the jacuzzi seemed the hardest decision of each day. We look forward to going back to this truly wonderful and beautiful place in the future. Read less

The island is big which is perfect to have long walk/do different activities and we didn’t got bored a single minute throughout the stay. We chose the all-inclusive option and have no regrets: the food, drinks, and activities were all top-notch. A huge thank you to our host, Ajlan, who was absolutely perfect — he helped us book our activities and was always ready to assist with anything we needed.

We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights to celebrate my husband's birthday. Abaan was our host, and he was a great guy! He sent us all the info we needed about the resort. We were given free wine, a birthday cake, and decorations. We really felt the warm hospitality of the staff — they were all friendly, helpful, and full of smiles! Our water villa was super clean and cozy. We loved that there were sharks, rays, and lots of fish in the reef right in front of our villa. The white sand beach was also superb! We opted for the 6 PM boat back to Malé and had to check out late (around 5:15 PM — standard checkout is at 12 noon). We were so happy they didn’t charge us extra for the late checkout. All in all, we had a great time! Read less
