We have stayed in over a dozen resorts in the Maldives, from a Maldivian owned and managed B&B to a 5 star hotel, and we are sorry to say this hotel is not value for money. It's a beautiful island, but it is obvious that this hotel is trying to cut everything they can to minimize cost - for example, this is the first resort we stayed where free drinking water is not provided. Guests are forced to buy a 4 dollar bottle water, which is not environmentally friendly given the country's already massive and unsustainable waste management problem. Another apparent area where lack of investment is staff training. They are hopelessly untrained and simply rude. We arrived past the buffet dinner time. Since we had already paid for full board (BTW they make you pay in full before arrival, which makes it impossible for you to leave should do decide to do so) we asked the reception about what that works, and their answer was 'actually it is not our problem'. At first, we got taken aback so much that we did not mean what was meant, but we could not believe a hotel staff talks to clients like this. Then, we were give a beach villa, which provided beach chairs facing our room, not the beach. Actually, there was no place for us to sit on the beach. And their answer was 'actually, we did not promise you beach access.' According to them, a beach villa does not mean beach access. Lastly, when we raised concerns about this, they accused us of not asking for a room change earlier. So it was the client's fault and they even hang up on us! They also had a wrong information that they thought we were already checking out that day, hence too late for asking for a room change. The series of events that happened to us was so beyond our belief that we could not believe we were spending our holiday here.

Apart from the incredibly unprofessional local staff, the staff at the water sports were helpful and professional.

We stayed here after a week's liveaboard diving and found it to be a lovely resort. The staff were friendly and couldn't be more helpful - nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a Water Villa and what an experience - to hear the sound of the sea gently lapping, and being able to watch the goings on under our villa through the glass top coffee table was excellent. To walk out of your villa and down to snorkel was too easy. Lots of the usual reef fish, several rays and some juvenile reef sharks. The island has a character of it's own - with budgies making it their home and a myriad of hermit crabs. Hubby enjoyed the wake boarding and I lived it up in the spa - recommend their signature massage, again with an overwater villa as the spa, the room open to the water, it was heaven. A great short speed boat from Male - this was a great end to our trip.

Absolutely beautiful! Greeted at the airport and immediately taken to the island by speed boat for approximately 20 minutes, a complimentary bottle of water and fruit cocktail on arrival. We stayed for 4 days in the water villa, which was very spacious and extremely clean. Only supplies in the bathroom were toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner and life vests are available in each room. I recommend using the safe for your valuables as it is better to be safe than sorry, the staff enter twice a day to clean your room, and on our last day a neighbouring guest accidentally went to the wrong hut and used his room key and entered our room! So I wonder how many other room locks and keys are identical on the island?!
The ability to swim with the fish right at your doorstep, and seeing sharks and stingrays was an experience you don’t have staying on the island in the beach huts.
There are sun lounges all along the beach to relax on if you don’t feel like staying on your water villa deck.
One of the night events was a magic show, it was entertaining to watch. Friday night was a live band. There is a spa facility available with very reasonably priced massage options. There are other water sports and equipment available also.
Food was fresh and tasty,with a variety of meat and vegetable options, if you are looking for gourmet then this isn’t the place for you.
The staff were very helpful when approached with a question; they were extremely professional and courteous at all times. We had a late departure but had to check out in the morning, we were lucky enough due to availability that we could still enjoy the sand and water all day as we had the opportunity of a room to shower in and get ready before leaving for the airport.otherwise it would’ve been a very long day sitting and waiting in the lobby!

The sand is white and soft, the water is crystal clear, the island was so small you could walk around it in a few minutes, and the sunset was phenomenal, it was truly paradise and loved every minute of it!

Stayed at this island during august, after reading the reviews were not sure what to expect but was glad tp see when we arrived that it really was a beautiful island. You are greeted with a cocktail upon check-in and the staff really are very friendly and helpful - maybe they do seem alittle aloof but my impression was they do not want to seem intrusive of your holiday but are very friendly if you initiate conversation or contact with them, also i probably would be alittle depressed if i was working on an island in the maldives while the rest of the world was coming here to holiday!!
We stayed in a water villa which was truly amazing, it was very good sized and very clean it gets serviced twice daily so you would expect it to stay clean. waking upto the maldives sunset is breathtaking and the views are unbelievable.
I think this resort is perfect if your criteria is to - stay on a smaller non-commercialised island
- if you are looking for a more authentic tropical island experience
- close to Male airport (only 25min by jetboat)
the food was buffet and was nice always fresh, they do mix up the food offered for their buffets with alot of variety however if you are picky with what you eat (like I was) after a few days it can feel like you're eating the same things over and over but if you like trying different things there is alot of variety.
the island also has a mix of people who visit, not all are couples, there were many families with kids, and very mixed backgrounds which was good to mix with.
all in all i would highly recommend this resort for a relaxing stay in the maldives on a beautiful island.
