Beautiful resort in the picturesque Maldives. It's only about a 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport, check-in was quick, and the room was incredibly spacious. The daily housekeeping was very thorough, and the bedding was great, ensuring a good night's sleep every night. The breakfast offered a wide variety, so both adults and kids could find something they liked. Dinner was also good, with different options available each evening. The bartenders at the beach bar made excellent drinks, and the evening entertainment was varied and lively. The hotel beach area was lovely too, perfect for snorkeling and fish-spotting, or just relaxing on a beach hammock. 👍
The room was clean and the balcony faced the sea, offering a wide, unobstructed view. Being on the 7th floor was very comfortable. The service was excellent; staff helped with luggage during both check-in and check-out. There was also an electric shuttle service, and the beach was right outside. There were even evening performances. We could request a packed breakfast for early morning excursions, though it was quite simple and didn't include drinks, which was a bit of an oversight.
This island is great, offering excellent value for money. The Italian and Thai restaurants serve delicious food, and the buffet's bread and desserts are also fantastic. I found the snorkeling environment to be excellent as well. An unforgettable trip!
A room was booked for a VIP customer for one night with bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, due to severe weather conditions, traveling to the island was not possible, and we informed the hotel accordingly. Despite this, their policy was strictly non-refundable, which we accepted. However, when we requested an alternative option such as rescheduling for another date, the Kaani team did not provide any flexibility, even after direct contact.
It is disappointing to see such rigid policies applied in circumstances beyond anyone’s control. In the Maldives, when the sea is rough and strong winds prevent travel, guests should reasonably expect some accommodation. Sadly, this was not the case, and I cannot recommend this property if timely travel is uncertain.
The response we received when requesting alternatives was:
”Unfortunately we do not have alternative option, hotel booking policy dictates these terms and conditions when making a booking.”
Beautiful place und Thulusdhooo! The room are very nice and comfortable, the staff is lovely and helps with any questions and the local breakfast was great!
Would definitely stay here again!
The hotel itself is beautifully designed and located in a dreamlike setting. However, in certain areas, the resort occasionally shows its age, suggesting potential for minor modernizations here and there.
We stayed in a water villa, which was very well-equipped and exceptionally comfortable. A particular highlight was the impressive variety of fish that could be observed right outside – a true standout feature.
Some beach sections were less visually appealing, for example, due to visible drainage pipes. This, however, did not affect the water villa area. With a bit more attention to detail, these areas could certainly be made more harmonious.
Cleanliness throughout the resort was exemplary. Fresh beach towels were always available, and our room was even cleaned twice a day – which we greatly appreciated.
Most of the staff were exceptionally polite and eager to make our stay pleasant. Occasionally, some individuals seemed a bit reserved or less engaged, but this was balanced out by the friendliness and professionalism of the other staff members. Overall, we felt that efforts were made for our well-being.
During meals, drinks were offered very attentively. At times, we were asked multiple times if we wanted to order wine, cocktails, or other beverages. Since we felt the prices were on the higher side, we consciously declined. A slightly less insistent approach would have been more comfortable for us.
At the bar in the evening, we would have liked a more atmospheric ambiance. It was quite dark in places, and subtle lighting of the beach section or, for example, a fire pit, could have added extra warmth and harmony to the atmosphere.
Overall, we still enjoyed our stay and thank you for the relaxing time. With a few small adjustments, we believe the experience could be further enhanced.
Our vacation at Grand Park has come to an end, and I'd love to share my thoughts 🌴.
First off, this was our first time in the Maldives, and we were absolutely thrilled.
We stayed in two types of villas: lagoon and ocean water. They are completely identical and face each other.
The lagoon villa has a huge advantage: it's practically wind-free. All the ocean breeze is absorbed by the ocean villas. The lagoon side offers sunset views, while the ocean villa offers sunrise views.
The ocean villas definitely have a better view; from the lagoon, you can see several islands, including the neighboring Hilton.
The rooms are very clean and were serviced twice a day. Linens were changed upon request, towels were fresh, and all necessities were provided: slippers, a beach bag, and umbrellas.
Upon arrival, we immediately picked up masks, snorkels, and fins for the entire duration of our stay (these are complimentary). By the way, the watersports equipment rental manager speaks Russian and was very helpful and friendly.
We brought water shoes with us but never used them. We always snorkeled with fins, and when we just swam from the villa, we couldn't even reach the bottom. They might be useful if you enjoy beach holidays and swimming from the shore, as the ocean entry there is indeed full of corals and shells, but we're just not fans of sand and didn't even go there.
The reef is excellent; not quite the Philippines, of course, but there was still plenty to see. On the very first day, we spotted an eagle ray swimming right next to us – this was on the reef near the watersports rental, which I highly recommend for snorkeling as it's far less crowded than the reef near the villas.
We wanted to go on an excursion to see nurse sharks, but a 'white flag' (meaning strong winds) was declared for all the days of our stay, so all excursions and even jet skis were canceled.
We were very happy with the food. Breakfasts were quite varied, only lacking in meat (cold cuts or sausages; only pork options were available). We mostly had lunch in our villa, and it was delivered quickly. Dinner was also diverse; you definitely won't go hungry.
All the staff were incredibly friendly, very open and responsive. Everyone smiled and greeted us, and the main phrase of our trip to the Maldives was “enjoy,” which we heard constantly 🥰 and we certainly did!
The only excursion we managed to do was swimming on the floating platform, which we highly recommend. We took the package for $129, which included 4 cocktails + 3 snacks. We expected something like canapés, but they brought out full-sized dishes! It even ended up being cheaper than our usual dinner 😂. We ate our fill and enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and the photos there are amazing! You can stay there as long as you like, there’s no time limit. We recommend going at sunset around 4:30 PM or even 5:00 PM when the sun has already set to avoid the heat.
The hotel is stunning, with very well-maintained grounds. The beach was constantly being cleaned, things were being trimmed, transported, and repaired – they were busy working all day long! There are many lizards on the property, and the Maldivian heron was also frequently seen))
The vacation was 10/10, the hotel was 10/10 – simply a perfect paradise! 🩵🌴
We left feeling incredibly grateful ✨

Thank you for going the extra mile everyday to ensure your guests experience is nothing short of perfection 💕 So good we are returning next year 💕 thank you to the Cocomo Team
Our stay at this hotel was marred by a series of unfortunate experiences, starting from the moment we arrived. We were wrongly informed at check-in that our room had not been paid for, despite having completed full payment in advance. Rather than verifying the system, the staff member sat by as I anxiously searched my phone for proof. Ultimately, I had to show my credit card statement — something I consider private — just to resolve the matter. Her attitude was unwelcoming, which is especially disappointing in a hospitality setting. After discovering the payment had indeed been made, she gave only a brief and indifferent apology. Following this, my husband contacted the Manager, who offered a complimentary buffet dinner for two as an apology. While we appreciated the gesture, it was overshadowed by another issue: we later received a letter requesting us to check out by 7 a.m. the next day, even though our original arrangement was for a noon departure. After another call to the Manager, he once again apologised and offered a spa session for one person. Though his crisis management was swift, these issues should not have occurred — especially given the premium price we paid for our stay.
That said, there were redeeming aspects. The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking. The room opened directly onto the beach — it felt as though we had arrived at the sea the moment we opened our door. The room was also clean and well-maintained and we appreciated the convenience of having a coffee machine available.
In summary, while the scenery and room amenities were wonderful, the service and communication left much to be desired. We hope the management addresses these shortcomings so that future guests can enjoy a truly seamless stay.
This oceanfront hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms offered expansive views, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly overlooking the sea – absolutely stunning for watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening. The hotel was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent. The service was warm and attentive, check-in was quick, and the beach was right downstairs. It was very convenient for getting around. The gentle sea breeze and the sound of the waves created a truly relaxing vacation atmosphere. It was great value for money, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

SseoulseoulOur stay at Villa Nautica was absolutely amazing from start to finish. It was our first time in the Maldives and everything exceeded expectations. The weather was perfect every day, and the island itself was stunning with crystal-clear water, white sand, and a peaceful atmosphere.
The staff were the highlight of our stay. Everyone greeted us so warmly and made us feel truly cared for. Dewi and Eyman at the restaurant offered seven-star service — incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. Yang, our island host, was also outstanding, always making sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. Every team member we met, from the spa to the water sports center, was kind and helpful.
We stayed in a two-bedroom water villa, which was spacious, luxurious, and had the most beautiful view of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of the waves each morning felt like a dream. We also went kayaking, which was an unforgettable experience in the clear turquoise lagoon.
The food, service, and atmosphere across the resort were all fantastic. The spa treatments were relaxing and of very high quality. Every part of our stay felt peaceful and well cared for.
Villa Nautica delivered the perfect Maldives experience. It was the right balance of comfort, beauty, and hospitality, and we would return in a heartbeat.
AAnonymous UserMy first vacation to a resort and Saii made it quite very perfect.
Ferry Arrangements - 3/5
Room - 3.5/5
Food - 4/5
Beach/Pool - 4.5/5
Accessibility - 4.5/5
Marine Life - 3/5
Dolphin viewing - 10/5
Ferry: They do reach out to you for arrangements via email. However, replies will be very delayed. We were fortunate to have our hotel from another island we were staying at, arranged everything for us with Saii directly. Eventually, we only got their reply when we have already gotten to the Saii island.
Room: Spacious, clean and very well-equipped. Had life vests, beach slippers (some rooms had entirely new pairs with tags still on), drying racks, cigar tray, beach bag, beach towels, and so much more.
However, ceiling fan only has a on/off switch, which would often be set on low. To change the speed, you would have to tug on the little chain on the fan (image attached). It’s hard for me as i’m vertically challenged LOL. I also was unfortunate to have some issues on cleanliness at my first room but the room on my second night was perfect. My brother’s room was perfect throughout our stay too.
Food: Variety was great as we had not just Saii, but hard rock across the bridge and also the marina that had multiple international options. Breakfast variety was great too.
Beach/Pool: Always had a beach chair available on whichever beach we went to. Absolutely love the number of jacuzzis at the pools (though the automated version took us some time to figure out). Infinity pool had a really nice warm water pool.
Accessibility: Saii has everything at your finger tips literally. At check-in, they would get you to download an app. On it, you can have chats with their respective services like housekeeping, activities center, front counter etc. You can also request for amenities for your room if you require additional or specific ones. They get to you SO FAST. Never waited longer than 5 minutes before i hear someone at the door. You can also request buggy transport (but it really takes quite awhile so plan 20 mins in advance).
Marine-life: It’s reclaimed land, so snorkeling, as expected would be boring. If you are snorkeling near the shore or at certain beach, you would prob see nothing in the day or just a couple varieties. For those comfortable to venture out to the reef-cliff near the boundary marker, you would see more lively scenes but nothing fascinating. That said, we were shocked to have swum so close to a huge reef shark near the marker when we went out at 8am.
Tip: If you are keen to catch dolphins (like me), this resort is perfect. One of the few that gives you a perfect view of a huge pod of dolphins swimming by. Catch them from the Pool at poolside bar around 5pm -5.30pm. Not a daily occurrence, but they do go by in huge pods, and stay up to 30 mins in the area upfront. That is the time they usually make their way out back to deeper waters.
At night, go to the bridge connecting to hard rock. Big nurse sharks and some rays can be seen right by it. But that beach in the day, is very uneventful aside from the water activities.
GGapOlkaA hotel with high European standards of service and a pleasant staff. It's located right next to the pier where sharks and rays swim up in the evenings. Since I didn't feel like eating much in the morning, the staff packed me a breakfast in a lunchbox. It's a shame I only stayed there for one day.
GGuest UserWhat a generous host you are !
Warm and excellent service by all the staffs .
Beautiful island.
Thank you for the romantic dinner by the beach.
Nice watching sunset with dolphins.
Nice food . Definitely will come back . Love so much !!

BBam/every thing is so perfect in this place from the manager jack who is very professional in terms of hospitality no dull moment until the last day of our stay early check in late check out he even arranged all the tours and before we ask he already booked our speed boat going back to the airport to the front desk Envie Maricar David and to all the staffs they’ll let you feel very welcome like their family thank you jack and the rest of your team surely will come back and i also highly recommend this place best place ever..
ZZimifeelingI was lucky enough to be assigned to Arena Veli in Building 4 of the Arena complex, which is the fourth building from the sunset direction, and it was even a corner balcony unit with a 90-degree view – absolutely stunning! The welcome drink was a delicious mixed berry juice. Breakfast was also tasty with a good variety of options.
The service experience during my stay was very good. The $6 environmental tax per person per night is mandatory, and there's also a $25 per person per trip speedboat transfer fee. However, the in-room facilities and cleanliness were really concerning, not even up to the standard of a 3-star hotel back home.
