Hameesh was very polite and always available to help out during food service. Malvika is an amazing island host, and very helpful! One bad thing : our transfer to Male Airport was delayed by over an hour, which we had little information on and we almost missed our flight. Luckily made it with 5mins to spare! Read less

We had an incredible stay at this resort in the Maldives. The location was fantastic, with crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and a beautiful reef within swimming distance. A special thank you to the amazing staff who made our experience even more memorable. Hameesh, who served us throughout the week, was always kind, attentive, and ensured every meal was a delight. Afeef, who took care of our room, went above and beyond by surprising us with a beautiful "Happy Birthday" sign made of leaves on my birthday - a gesture we truly appreciated. Their dedication and thoughtfulness truly set this resort apart. We would definitely recommend. Read less
