Stay 03-10 February 2024.
The hotel is wonderful:
- in terms of service level (the staff is friendly, helpful, unobtrusive, responsive);
- on food (especially at the Maalan restaurant. We took full board, bought alcohol on the spot, the price of a cocktail was $15-17);
- for accommodation in rooms with a jacuzzi on the shore (rooms 611-660 in the west);
- in terms of cleanliness (rooms are cleaned 2 times a day, beaches early in the morning until dawn, territory and public places constantly)
- according to the structure of the sand on the beach and the ease of getting into the water + pools (the sand is white, fine, like starch, there are fragments of corals when getting into the water);
- according to leisure options (free: snorkeling on the house reef, yoga, live music and much more + paid activities);
- by the beauty of flora and fauna and the brightness of colors.
There are some disadvantages (IMHO), but, as they say, it depends on the taste and color...
Since we also lived in a villa on the water (room two hundred, in the east), we were able to compare. The depth around them is shallow - knee/thigh deep, making it uncomfortable to swim. From this point of view, the western part of the island is much more comfortable: going into the water with a smooth increase in depth, the color of the water is stunning.
Wi-Fi is rather weak - audio and video in zoom do not work at the same time, I switched either.
Toothbrush/paste and hair conditioner kits are not provided in the rooms.
Despite minor drawbacks, overall the hotel is very attractive. This was our first time here. But neighbors on the plane came to this hotel three times out of 6 trips to the Maldives.
