Resort is nice but in need of refurbishment which is currently under way. The a la carte restaurant was closed as a result. Food in the main restaurant was ok but quite repetitive. In comparison, food at the Thundi bar was delicious but not included in the all inclusive package. Staff are pleasant but constantly looking for a tip which was annoying. The best beach is by the sunset villas so I'd advise to book one of those. They give you bicycles to get around the island which is 1 mile long. I'd advise taking a bike lock because, if you're given a good working bike, other guests will pinch it leaving theirs with flat tyres or no brakes. Overall a good holiday but could have been better.

Pros: Beautiful warm and clear sea, spacious rooms (stayed in Sunrise villa), great food at the buffet restaurant, amazing range of facilities (with no time to use any). Cons: Mediocre breakfast, mediocre snorkeling, bad selection of excursions (Absolutely avoid the filthy shantytown of the "local village" and the desert "trash" island), no toothbrush and toothpaste (come on!!!), cleaners have no vacuum cleaner so filth gathers in the gaps behind the room furniture: i found dead (and live) cockroaches. - I know that nobody uses the gym, but I tried using it twice and the gym facility is rundown with aircon units not working properly. It is really painful trying to workout with no airflow whatsoever. Advice: book either Sunset or Sunrise villas (latter being less windy due to reef), bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste (not included), bring tons of sunscreen: the sun is scorching and unforgiving, bring small change USD for tipping, do not go if you're scared of bugs or tropical insects.

Отличный вариант для умеющих считать деньги
Были в разгар короновирусного кризиса. Народа было очень мало, при этом отель всё равно обеспечивал высокое качество обслуживания. Если честно, мне даже жалко их было, очевидно в убыток работали, но марку держали. В общем, если вам нужна хорошая природа, а обычная мальдивская роскошь стоит на втором плане, рекомендую. Любителей "дорого-богато" по Дубайскому стандарту отель может несколько разочаровать. Для нас эти глупости не имеют значения. А вот прекрасный пляж, хорошее расстояние между домами и отсутствие толп наших соотечественников очень даже имеют. Да и цена весьма привлекательная.

MOSQUITOS
We went for 6 nights. Island is beautiful, but new local management who took over hotel from Italian 1-2 years ego need to learn more! MOSQUITOS were very big issue. In villas were air conditions, so it was a place were they were not present, but when you pass doors and you went to restroom invisible mosquitos without sound bit you plenty of time. Top roof fun was not sufficient at all, spray not helped! You were not able to use outside beds and enjoy it and chill out. In restrooms I was moving constantly. If you stop for second then you were bit by mosquitos! The only place were mosquitos were not present was swimming pool and end of island with wooden permanent umbrellas. Was windy there and mosquitos were not able to get in. Even in bar next to swimming pool mosquitos were often guest. I was not able to rest due that fact! Organised by hotel extermination of mosquitos (called fumigation) were twice ONLY and ONLY in parts next to bar and restaurant. I never saw anyone next to our sunset villa. POSITIVES aspects: Send, beach, island as such is a paradise, food was ok, but only twice seafood (squids and small shrimps). Tuna fish was everyday, but I was expected more real seafood. Due to fact that island is big you have bicycles for your private use next to your villas, but they condition is questionable (rusty and not good technical condition). I tested four before I selected one which was drivable. Do to mosquitos we never will be back! Last year Seychelles were better!!!

Si vede e si percepisce che la struttura era originalmente molto ben strutturata ed organizzata ma la manutenzione e' assolutamente carente: i tetti dei bungalow stanno visibilmente cedendo, la splendida vegetazione e' coperta da sterpaglie e in gran parte secca, alcuni bungalow sono gia' inutilizzabili e quindi inutilizzati, le biciclette(utilissime!) che la vecchia gestione ha lasciato, sono completamente arrugginite, quasi completamente senza freni e ormai quasi morte.

Uno splendido soggiorno alle Maldive
Pienamente soddisfatti della scelta. L'isola è molto bella e facilmente percorribile in bici (fornita dalla struttura). Le ville sono silenziose e distanziate, con accesso diretto alla spiaggia. Ristorante discreto con ampio buffet e piatti preparati sul momento, inclusi carne e pesce sulla griglia. Ottima struttura nel complesso, se si è interessati soprattutto ad una vacanza tranquilla all'insegna del relax.

Große Insel, auf der man sich mit Fahrrädern und Buggy gut bewegen kann. Leider fehlt es an jeglicher Kommunikation mit dem Gast. So hat man von Veranstaltungen, wenn man diese so nennen will, oft gar nichts bzw erst im Nachhinein mitbekommen. Essen und Getränke sind gut, der Service im Restaurant ist auch sehr gut. Leider mangelt es den Mitarbeitern oft an Effizienz, so dass man, wenn die Bar gut besucht ist, lange auf seine Getränke warten muss, da die Kellner unterbesetzt und somit überfordert sind. Mängel im Zimmer wurden trotz mehrfacher Ansprache gar nicht bzw zum Teil erst am Tag 12 von 14 repariert. Bei Ehepaaren auf Hochzeitsreise funktionierte der Service, vor allem auf dem Zimmer, hervorragend. Leider wird der Standard Kunde nicht gleichermaßen behandelt. Auf keinen Fall ein tauch Zimmer buchen

Struttura: un tempo doveva essere molto bella
Una struttura abbandonata, lasciata ormai a se stessa... scarsa manutenzione e cura. la camera se pure confortevole e spazionsa veniva pulita male. solo dopo alcune lamentele, il presonale più responsabile si è attivato per far pulire la stanza agli addetti alle pulizie, che venivano seguiti passo passo da un responsabile. Anche la barriera corallina è stata una delusione rispetto ad altre isole dove sono stato in precedenza. Per vedere qualcosa, occorre allontanarsi a nuoto un bel po e consiglio delle pinne, altrimenti le correnti sono molto forti e pericolose, visto che non c'è alcun tipo di bagnino o servizio di soccorso. La cucina è buona In generale visto il recente cambio di gestione, si respira un'aria di abbandono e delusione tra il personale che sembra molto scontento del nuovo managment. E' evidente che la struttura in se e il personale comunicano "quanto erano belli i tempi andati" . Inoltre ci sono alcune strutture dell'isola completamente in rovina semi smontate con materiale dimesso (rovine di tetto ferri arrugginiti ecc ecc ) anche alcuni alloggi che sembrano non essere stati occupati da tempo, sono abbandonati a loro stessi senza alcuna manutenzione.

Il Paradiso all’ improvviso!!!
Sono già stata in questa struttura e ci sono tornata perché rappresenta il Posto ideale per assere in totale liberta’! Girare a piedi scalzi o in Bicicletta in mezzo al verde con scorci sul mare da un emozione che non si può spiegare!!Ho trovato un a nuova gestione che rispetto a quella precedente sembra in difficoltà nel gestire il tutto. Fortunatamente, il personale, avendo appreso il mestiere in precedenza , continua ad operare egregiamente, fatta eccezione per la pulizia delle camere( unica grande pecca). Il mangiare è sempre eccellente, complimenti agli CHEF!! Spero di tornare e di trovare il Villaggio in una condizione degna di questo Paradiso!!

Paradise
We had an amazing stay on this beautiful island. We stayed in a Dive Villa (their most minimalistic accommodation) for six nights which was perfect for the two of us. Obviously still not free of charge of course but not unreasonably priced. The service throughout or stay was impeccable! Lunch and dinner was buffet which was very nice with good variety. Breakfast had a more simple selection but still good with omelette and fresh fruit. The best thing about our stay (and the main reason of going to the Maldives of course) was the ambience, breathtaking surroundings! The water seems unreal and the sand is like flour. The beach area where there is a bar and sun chairs is very beautifully located. The hotel offers snorkelling trips every morning, we went one day and got to see both sea turtles and some sort of rays! We enjoyed the genuin slightly “low key” style of this hotel compared to other big all inclusives. Would recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to the Maldives! All our high expectations were fulfilled. Would love to return to this resort again. It’s a true little paradise!
