My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the service was outstanding with a staff that genuinely looked after my needs. The location was super convenient, especially being close to the airport. However, the room left much to be desired with a rundown feel and limited nighttime entertainment options. Also, the dining was repetitive during breakfast which was a bit disappointing.

The resort spa offers a beautiful setting with large, clean rooms, and exceptional snorkeling right outside. The staff went above and beyond with their attention to detail, especially for our honeymoon. However, the dining options were rather standard, and some facilities showed signs of wear. Overall, it's a great place for relaxation and adventure.

The resort offers a relaxing atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, perfect for a getaway. The rooms were spacious and nicely designed, and I enjoyed snorkeling at the beach. However, the service was a bit inconsistent as staff occasionally forgot requests. Dining was enjoyable, especially with the Maldivian breakfast options, but I felt the variety could improve. Overall, it's a great place, but a few details need attention.

My stay at the resort spa was mostly enjoyable. The rooms were clean and had a beautiful design, but they felt a bit stuffy at times. I did have some noise disturbances late at night, which was a downside. The service was exceptionally friendly, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. Although the dining options were good, they didn't quite blow me away. The location was great, especially since it's right on the beach, but getting to and from the airport was a bit of a hassle due to the distance.
