Good afternoon. We are living in a hotel now , so the review is straight online). The hotel is quite normal , the staff is very pleasant , the nature and the ocean are amazing ( although there is no reef of its own , so they take you to the neighboring reef for FREE ) . There are ants in the rooms, so it will be more careful - cover creams and other fragrant things. But as for the food, it 's just a disaster!!!!! I'm not a picky person, but it's just sad. No scrambled eggs or porridge for you . There is the same trouble with vegetables - cucumbers , carrots , cabbage - that 's all the joy . I won 't even write about fruits - there are none ( a small watermelon at best for breakfast ) . All with the addition of a large amount of spices - the stomach sent greetings after 2 days. We had everything included, but this is a "detox" forced. But the ice cream is delicious. They give it at lunch in a separate bar . Will I go to the Maldives again - yes!!! Not to this hotel. I would like an omelet, yogurt and some fruit to eat. I 'm sorry if I offended anyone .

The villas are comfortable. The island is perfect - there are places for walking, by local standards the island is not small. It's important, you'll understand on the spot.

The whole island is occupied by a hotel. There are villas with ocean views, villas with lake views, and villas that are located inside the island among palm trees and greenery. Every morning, the coastline is cleared of algae and other debris. The sand is clean and white. Beauty! It takes two stages to get here from Male: first by local airlines to Kaddu Island (about an hour to fly), then from Kaddu Island to the hotel by boat in 40 minutes. The rest is calm, without animators and dancing until the morning. There are several bars. One is open until 19:00 (it may be delayed and close later). The second one works until the last visitor. But, again, there are no big parties there. As for food, there are very few fruits. There were apples, watermelons, sometimes oranges, several times pineapples and papaya. And a couple of guavas. That's it. And all this was in small quantities. Eating fruits like detox will not work here. But there are a lot of tuna dishes. Grilled tuna, fried tuna, salads and tuna appetizers... in general, you can't go hungry, but there was something just WOW from the food. There are many dishes with curry, turmeric and coconut milk sauce. In general, the taste of such dishes is specific, not everyone will like it. The rooms are cleaned every day. The sun beds at the villas are also cleaned every day. In general, everything is clean, neat, and beautiful.

What did you like about the hotel? 1) a very quiet and peaceful place, who is looking for a corner where no one will bother him and give him time to be alone with himself - this is here. A small island , a hotel with intricate views 2) friendly staff, always ready to help and orientate correctly 3) kitchen. Yes, it is different from many others, but it is light, tasty and always balanced 4) spa-attentive girls and it is clear that they are professionals in their field.

The rooms are spacious, the bathroom and the open space in the toilet deserve special attention. Taking a bath in the open air. the room has a kettle, tea accessories, tea bags,coffee, cream, and a 1.5 liter bottle of water per person every day. The pastel linen is clean and fresh. three towels per person, bathrobes,slippers, plus shampoo,shower gel,hair conditioner, toothbrush (no paste), razor. Two large umbrellas and a flashlight. The safe is free of charge. we did not regret that we took a room on the lagoon, because every morning, getting out of bed and wearing swimsuits, we ran straight into the water-a pure thrill!😁 The island itself is small, but incredibly beautiful, you can take photos every day a million times and you won't get bored . It's better to swim in a place near the main bar, there is the deepest place. Beach towels are provided both at the bar and in the room you have two. The hotel has its own small reef, where they take you by boat twice a day at 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m., swim for about one hour. Fins, masks, snorkels, saps, kayaks-all for free. There are shortcomings at the hotel. Few fruits (papaya, unripe melon, tasteless watermelon, bananas. the food is different, there are many spicy dishes. the smoothie in the morning was delicious at first (banana), but then sour yogurt was added and I didn't get it ( and, again, I'll note! I want the hotel management to hear! running rats on palm trees is unsightly from the word at all!!! A rather tedious long transfer, although everything is clear without delay. Overall, the hotel is great, we were there for the first time-I really liked it! the staff is polite, the owner of the island himself asks tourists how they feel, if everything is okay! they are constantly being cleaned! I wish you prosperity👍👍👍

Everything is like in the pictures of the Maldives, only better! Beautiful bungalows, with a huge bathroom - it is divided into 2 parts, under the roof and in the open air. Delight. The staff is very attentive. The island is very well maintained. Swimming, so that you can swim only on the main beach, in other places shallow - knee-deep per kilometer (they did not go further). The food is varied, there are not the most successful positions, but there is always an alternative. The additional flight on domestic airlines does not bother at all - on the contrary, it is even more interesting. It is very beautiful to fly over the atolls at a low altitude on a small plane! We were there for 8 days and decided that it was enough for this island. Among the entertainment there are 5 points for snorkeling, dinner with sunset views and swimming in a flock of dolphins on a boat. Let's start from the end - we decided that it was boring for us to watch dolphins from a boat and we rented a jet ski. In two with my wife on one, and in front of us is a guide on his motorcycle. Incomparable sensations - first along the atoll between the islands, then went out into the open ocean, then found a flock of dolphins. A huge pack! 100-200 - I don't know - to the horizon! Dolphins jump around a motorcycle, race with you to distilleries. It's just amazing. The whole dolphin trip took 1.5 hours and cost $400. And in my opinion it is absolutely worth the money. Snorkeling is varied and interesting, but I'm new to it and maybe it's better, but I was completely delighted! In total, we devoted 5 days to active entertainment and 3 days to lying down, it seemed enough for us. For those who like to lie down a lot, you can go there longer. But I liked absolutely everything, there you enjoy the air, which was 30 degrees both day and night, water, palm trees, local smells, crabs, lizards, everything is better than I could imagine!

It was a fabulous vacation. I liked everything: from the way we met, to the way we were sincerely escorted off. The food is delicious, mostly Indian or Thai, quite spicy. The reef near the hotel is dead, but 2 times a day they take you by boat to see a beautiful large reef. Mask, fins - everything is available for free at the box office. The relationship of the entire staff is excellent. There is nothing to complain about

Helpful staff, nice clean villas. The food, in my opinion, is diverse, you can find it for every taste. One disadvantage of food is a lot of spicy food, you need to be careful, try everything. You can contact the restaurant staff, they will go to a meeting in the preparation of some dishes. There is no animation, but if there are no children, then it is quite comfortable, we were not bored.

A very bad hotel! If you want to spoil your vacation, then come here. Everything that is in the hotel (renovation, furniture, textiles) is very budget, cheap. There is a separate question about textiles. The textiles are unwashed and dirty. It feels like it's just not being erased. And the food is just terrible. There was no declared buffet. The customized menu is the same every day. Everything is prepared with cheap products. Everything is monotonous. They serve for a very long time. It takes 1.5-2 hours to eat. you sit and wait, and everyone pretends that they don't understand you

Everything is fine, the landscapes are spectacular, the food is quite varied and delicious, they try in every possible way to entertain visitors, themed parties and discos in the restaurant every evening. In general, the attitude to the client is as helpful as possible, the water-sand-view from the room is ideal (at least for me)!!! Thanks!

Many people write rave reviews here, but this is more about the beauty of the Maldives and the charm of them, and not the hotel, of course. Because the hotel is, well, to put it mildly, so-so. I will tell you in more detail: 1. The most important thing I will say right away, if you have a morning flight (I had a direct Aeroflot flight at 9.00 from Male), then I beg you NOT to BE FOOLED if the hotel offers you in the format, as they told me "take care of me", to move to another hotel so as not to get up so early. At first they said they would take me to another hotel at 20.00, as a result, they evicted me at 13.00, I lost a day, and I will attach the last photo of the hotel, as I was told "such an LCD category". As a result, I lost a day of rest, and the hotel was, to put it mildly, a complete trash, where I was moved and had to get up very early anyway. All because of the high season in the Maldives in December and March, they vacate the rooms in this way. Be vigilant! 2. I had a villa with access to the ocean. Naturally, I took it in the hope that I would leave the villa and swim. Yeah, right now) all the water around the hotel is a beautiful blue puddle. And you have to walk at least 600-700 meters from the shore to find a place to swim. There is only ONE beach for the entire hotel, opposite the bar where you could swim. 3. Food. Well, that's a different story. There is a buffet restaurant. And the food is very, very mediocre. The fruits are not tasty, green (I was in February), there is a lot of spice and almost no seafood. Once a week you will be offered dry, tasteless tuna. I took breakfast and dinner, expecting to eat seafood at another restaurant at lunch. So, there is a bar on site where you can only buy: pasta Bolognese, burger with fries and pizza Margarita, all for $ 30 (with tax). And nothing else)) 4. There is a doctor at the hotel, he will kindly provide you with an appointment at the level of a rural doctor, bill you and you will also pay $ 20 for medicines 5. The hotel has a shop, very expensive. It is better to buy souvenirs on departure from Male. There is a decent enough and large shop where there are souvenirs at normal prices - a $ 5 magnet, and the hotel had $ 15. I took gaskets from the hotel store for $ 40 6. There is a good spa. I advise you straight, an hour costs $ 100 - hello Balinese massage in Moscow) for 4000 rubles. But as it is. 7. Well, many people wrote about alcohol, it's not there. 8. There is also free snorling. Excursions to turtles / dolphins, etc. for $ 100 / person. By the way, the turtles were cool. To sum up, I do not recommend this hotel. Beautiful pictures, but there are hotels where there are more places to swim, where the food is better, where the service is better.

Road. It takes 40 minutes to fly from Male International Airport, then another 30 minutes by speedboat. Number. There was a room with a view of the lake. The house consists of 4 rooms. A fairly free, bright room. Two 1.5 liter bottles are placed every day. There is a kettle, tea and coffee, a mini bar for a fee (a bottle of Coca Cola 0.3 costs $ 4+tax). The bed is changed only if you approach the reception and ask. Beach towels are changed every 2 days approximately, large bath towels are changed every day. The rest of the towels are not changed, they are taken away and they need to be asked to put them down. Territory. The hotel has a fairly large green and well-maintained territory. There is a second island nearby, but it is not allowed to enter, it is completely reserved for employees. In general, you can go to it and walk around. There are sun loungers in front of each room and several more on 2 beaches that are located on opposite sides of the island. There are not enough umbrellas for everyone. We have to drag the sun beds under the trees. You have to walk on the beach in shoes, there are a lot of small corals. Restaurant. There is 1 restaurant and 2 bars on site. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the main restaurant. It's not big. The food is pretty monotonous. Fish is cooked with different sauces, pork, beef. In two weeks, there were grilled langoustines, a leg of lamb, and sushi once. The rest of the time, fish and meat are grilled. You can always find delicious desserts. During lunches and dinners, water is served, the rest of the drinks are only if all inclusive or for a fee. There are 2 types of juice and water for breakfast. There are few fruits. Mostly watermelons, apples, bananas, papaya. Sea. There are no corals around the island at all, they are all dead. It is shallow everywhere, and where there is a place for swimming there is a strong current. But you can meet baby sharks, rays and small fish. In the dry season, they take you to the reef twice a day. On a rainy day. They take no more than 15 people. Sail for 5 minutes on a boat. But, unfortunately, they are regularly canceled: either the weather is bad, or the ship broke down. We managed to get in 3 times in 12 days, although we are recorded

The only drawback is the long drive from Male. First, a local plane (about an hour), then a speedboat (about half an hour). Given the pre-flight check-in and waiting for the plane, after arriving from Russia in Male, the road may take an additional 3-5 hours. But. when you get to the place, you realize that it was worth it. The island resort is very small. The view from the sea view villas is open, there are no breakwaters or water villas. The water is beautiful. Green fences create a private area at each villa.The hotel is designed for the introverted public. Noisy companies have almost nothing to do. The music in both the restaurant and the bar is muted, there is no animation. Complete fusion with nature, immersion in yourself and your surroundings. The staff is friendly and sociable. In the evenings, there is live music at dinner, the musicians perform very stylish covers. The hotel has a tiny spa. Primitive, but suitable for daily cardio/functional training. The food is not very varied, but delicious. The villas do not have a reef, but 2 times a day the hotel takes out an hour-long snorkeling by boat. It is included in the room rate. In addition, there are paid excursions ($ 75) - to turtles and stingrays, dolphins, coral garden, sunset, fishing. I recommend the turtles and the coral garden. There is a spa on site. Girls from Bali do massages and various spa treatments. Expensive, but very good. It's worth planning a visit. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is huge, the rain shower is a special treat.

Well, what can I say...who arrives for the first time to relax in the Maldives...this is already shikardos))) Menu...I liked beef stroganoff, otherwise the meat is tough...tom-yam soup is spicy, my tongue immediately swelled and I had numbness for half an evening, as well...many things are delicious))) stupid appetizers, cakes and buns...mmmmm))) I have a sweet tooth and it was the coolest party))) Be SURE to ask about the sharpness of the dishes, so as not to get into a mess like me.Watermelons yum-yum...what didn't go in was passion fruit...for some reason, it is green and sour...I won't write about the number.there was a view of the lake.the photos on the Booking correspond to the realities.rain and thunderstorms also caught on the island...by the way, I had a rest in September 2022 for a week.welcome to the island...I can immediately upset you that, having arrived in Male at 14 o'clock from Dubai, the flight from Male left only at 19 ... and so far we arrived on a local island with a friend, and there by boat for another 40 minutes...It was 21 and I had time for dinner.so the day was basically lost.The weather was pleasant for 4 days, and at 6 and 7 there were showers, thunderstorms, beautiful sunsets.about the water ... well, words cannot convey what beauty it is, especially when the sun is shining))))) tides...they can be tough.and only on the opposite side of the island from the reception, where everyone swims, sunbathe, in general chill, there is depth.As it is, it is mostly distributed throughout almost the entire atoll.be sure to go to the wild side of the resort, yes, it's dirty, garbage, when it's cloudy, and the mosquitoes that bit me so 3 times on the second visit of this part of the atoll, but...there's water like fresh milk!!!))))) and when the waves are beating against you..bnu is generally a separation of feelings!!!!!))))) I got really high from this on the third day of rest incredibly!))) walk until 15 o'clock, when the tide is out! we didn't know when we went at 16 o'clock, we came, and the water was gone...no waves, just rocks, and ankle-deep water (masks are free.on Fridays from 18 to 19 there is a disco, one alco cocktail is free, or 2 beers.then it is paid...The price list is normal for such places.do not forget about local taxes! the bartenders are friendly and speak a little in our native language) I could have written a lot more, but...I'll send you some photos and you'll figure it out for yourself)

It's a pretty good place. What I liked was the staff. They're trying really hard. The food is not bad, but quite spicy. Plus for a normal selection of desserts. Minus: the gym is antediluvian, it is difficult to swim - very shallow. In a place where there is a deep strong current. There is nothing to do with children at all. Another plus is that the price corresponds to the quality.

It takes a very long time to get there, the hotel is located in the very south of the Maldives. The staff is imperfect, they may forget something when cleaning (bring water, change towels, and so on), allegedly the personal whatsapp manager is absolutely useless - he has never fulfilled a single request. The kitchen is four-piece, there are no a la carte restaurants, only one with a buffet. There is no pool when the tide is out, there is nowhere to swim, it is shallow around the island, there are a lot of algae.

I liked the hotel. BUT it's a LONG way to get to it, 2 hours by plane and 40 minutes by boat additionally. The food is monotonous, but there is always something to your liking. Entertainment is only on the water, everything is clean and fresh. The houses are old, in need of repair, the island is not big, but there is somewhere to walk) the place to be together is ideal
