“Cost of seaplane must be disclosed”

Reviewed June 9, 2013

The hotels in Maldives need to disclose the price of seaplane or speedboat charges in their websites and in the websites of all the travel relates sites, such as Agoda, Expedia, etc. People need to know beforehand about these charges so they can make informed choices. It costs USD 350 for return trip from Male airport to Gan airport. The... More

“Probably the best in the Maldives.”

Reviewed June 4, 2013 via mobile

Everything about this property screams First Class. The grounds are impeccable, the villas like new, the staff accommodating and smiling. The beaches are like a dream come true, white sand, crystal clear water, warm and inviting. The butlers are helpful without being overbearing. The fun of getting around on your own bike or buggy is refreshing. The breakfast plentiful and... More

“Enjoy the paradise”

Maldives is heaven on earth and we had a great time overall. We travelled with a baby and it seems that Shangri-la may be one of the best choices for traveling with a family. Actually, couples looking to have a baby free holiday may want to look elsewhere. We stayed with a couple of our friends in a double villa... More

“Overwater villas vs Bora-Bora”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

The villas here and in Bora-Bora (several hotels, incl. Four Seasons) are very similar in concept. Some at the Villingili Resort are farther away from the restaurants than the farthest one in Bora Bora, but the golf carts are readily available both places. Villingili has a hammock situated over the water, but Bora Bora has a glass viewing area on... More
