This was our first time in Maldives and I read many reviews before choosing this resort. Everything has been perfect and amazing, we got lucky with the weather, but do not trust the forecast online, it was completely inaccurate for the whole week and in the end it was sunny. I booked this trip so much in advance, and organised most of things myself. If I knew that Elena would be there to help us out and we could have booked everything on the first day, I wouldn't have wasted all this time. Keep in mind that is better to book things in advance especially where to eat and what time for dinner because it gets fully booked quiet quickly. From the airport in Male to the resort was very easy and straight forward, when we arrived somebody took care of us and showed us the way, we felt very well treated and it was impossible to get lost. The seaplane is 35 minutes journey from Male. Island: In this island it's impossible to get bored, we did not use all the activities because we were busy snorkeling and finding wild life. But literally I would have liked to stay much longer, one week was not enough for me. It was very surprising for us to see there was not many people around and we often had the beach to ourselves and it was very relaxing. Using the bicycle to get around the island was the best part of the day! The water was crystal clear, some bits better than others, the side of the sandbank was very transparent and turquoise. So beautiful and unreal, in other parts of the island, you might find some coral bits on the sand, so better wear some reef shoes. And a lot of patches of algaes. But this did not bother us much, because we were staying at the romantic water villas side. Room: I wish I knew this before: Beach towels, flip flops and beach bag will be provided! Also sunscreen is provided at the pools. Also many other ameneties such as very good hairdryer and body lotion, pack only swimwear, clothes and a pair of sandals is enough really! I wake up quiet quickly from noises and yes the watervilla at night is a bit noisy in terms of waves, at the beginning I was thinking constantly somebody was jumping into our pool and it was scary, plus the buggies travelling on the dock all the time it was very noisy but I knew this before and they moved us on the second day to one of the last water villas on the map and then it was perfect for me to relax and sleep. We were in room 102. If you don't want this problem ask to have a room from 110 to 101. (the buggy traffic is more frequent during the day, so if you want to have a nap forget about it). We had a whatsapp group with Elena and we were updated about everything every single day, this was very handful and we knew our schedule without thinking about it or if we needed to reschedule things we could have done that too. A side note for the minibar I would have liked some sweet snacks instead of some instant ramen and crisps that we barely eat :( I was sick most of the stay, and they have a doctor in t
