First, the positive:
- The island is pure magic - white sand, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation, all complemented by the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty.
- Our room was not only spacious and comfortable but also well integrated into the island’s charm, with an open-air bathroom and an outdoor shower.
- The location is ideal, especially for those with early flights, as it’s conveniently close to Malé. You can make the most of your stay right up until the last moment.
- A standout feature is the new bar - an incredible spot to enjoy a drink while watching breathtaking sunsets.
- The marine lab is another highlight, offering engaging activities like reef cleaning, which gives guests a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing the Maldives and a chance to contribute.
- For snorkeling enthusiasts, the reef at the sister island, Ihuru, is spectacular. We encountered sharks, rays, turtles, clown fish and many more.
- There are many activities on the resort, and you never get bored. We particularly enjoyed the Maldivian cooking class. Thanks to Prosanta for sharing his cooking skills with us!
- A special mention to Rajesh at the barbecue - his kindness and great cooking skills added an extra touch of hospitality that made our trip even more memorable.
Now, the points that could be improved:
- As returning guests, we felt that the attention to detail had slipped compared to our previous visits. For example, the turndown service was inconsistent, and we had to request more tea for our room after running out, which we hadn’t experienced before.
- We also preferred the previous dining experience, where the menu changed daily, offering more variety. The current setup includes numerous supplements, which can make the options feel somewhat limited unless you’re willing to pay extra on top of what’s already included.
Overall, it was an incredible stay.
