This is hands-down the *best* vacation experience I've ever had. Everything from check-in to departure went without a hitch. You don't have to worry about anything at this resort; upon arrival, the reps were at the airport to help with our speedboat transfer, so no being hassled by taxi drivers like at other destinations! There is a wait for other guests from other flights; fortunately we didn't have to wait too long.
Check-in was a breeze, the staff were super welcoming, the Deluxe Water Villa was beautiful, and every meal at the buffet was delicious. Lots of Indian options which I was very happy about. We did the all-inclusive which was very well worth it. Drinks were great and service was immaculate. Honestly no need to pay for the ala carte restaurants since the buffet was more than adequate.
Check-out experience was great also; we left out bags in the villa upon check-out for the staff to collect. Our flight was late in the evening and the speedboat to the airport was at 7pm, so were about to enjoy the resort for the remainder of the day (tip: there is a shower in the bathrooms at the Lagoon Bar, so we were able to clean up before our late flight).
Special shoutout to Khaled at the Sunset Restaurant, who was so nice and made our visit very special.
Told myself that Maldives would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip due to the cost, but we loved our stay so much so we will definitely be back to this resort!
