Poor hotel. Bad management
Poor. Couldnt be worst. Hotel is so poorly administrated. Looks like they dont want to spend a penny on that. Only surfing was good, nice guys in there. I had a rat in my room one day. Food is terrible. All inclusive isnt all inclusive. Only meals. And not good meals. you have to eat every meal, every day in the same table. Why is that?!? They should change the management and principles. Things just dont work. Price?! thats the only thing at the hotel that reminded maldives.

Nature did a great job... humans did a poor one.
So sad. The hotel looks like its broken and is spending only in what is necessary. Everything you could ask for the hotel, they denny. The food is terrible. All inclusive?!? only meals!!! hungry at 11am?! have to pay for some poor options. At 16pm?! Pay! 23pm?! Pay!!! Drinks?! All inclusive includes only cheap options. Want a natural juice?! Pay. A coconut water? Pay. One thing that is unbelievable: you MUST eat at exactly the same table every meal! I've stay for 15 days... that is 45 meals... all at the same table at the restaurant!!!! Somebody at the hotel can answer me why?!?! The hotel is sad. No music, employees not happy, my work is much happier than that! Imagine what I've wished for my hollidays! But ok, not everything was that bad. Surf was really nice. The guys that work at the surf camp are amazing. Ali, Smile, Hoops... they all are really nice. Looks like 2 different hotels...

good but may improve
beach was close to the room and nice with sound of ocean can be heard around always , food was good, resort had a lot activites which can be done. but bed was not good as division of bedding in middle of bed caused me backache. dining place was far from beach villa and everything to eat was chargable in villa despite full inclusive. choice of beer and spirits in all inclusive was not good. so i recommend not going all inclusive .

Better than expected!
The sea life, location and staff were the hallmarks of our stay. The managers of both the ocean villas and beach villas were pleasant gentleman who know exactly what their roles where in the resort they managed. While you will not have staff waiting at your every move, they will be happy to help in any instance from getting you a beer to getting extra towels. The views, sea life were incredible. The staff at the dive shop were friendly and knowledgable, they tried to steer us away from the "welcome jetty" area but it proved to be the best place to snorkel to dive and snorkel. I got the best footage right off the resort point! Awesome! We upgraded from the ocean villas which were the best of earth, from the beach villa and the food was in line with the pricing. Significantly better, though in fairness to the main restaurants, we were able to find things that were palatable on all the buffets. Hidden costs: $135US/person boat ferry ride, internet and all inclusive is a bit tricky as it has limited times and locations...though not unreasonable especially when you compare against other packages.

Would recommend a shorter stay at a better hotel
Overall we had an ok time. Upon arrival, it took more than an hour to check in with no explanation from the staff. They were polite but could have done a better job settle by expectations upon arrival. The food options and quality left a lot to be desired. It was bland and frankly not great value for the money. I wished there were more better food options.

Beautiful resort. Small and intimate, peaceful.
Stayed in the OCEAN VILLA, they also have garden and beach villas. They all seemed nice but the OCEAN VILLA is AMAZING! Nice, quiet resort, ideal for those wanting a peaceful vacation. They also have an excellent dive center on site which I used every day. I got the all inclusive package, food was good. Customer service was great!!! Overall a GREAT place to vacation.

Family Vacation
Spent 2 nights with family in this island. Overall very nice and comfy. The hotel staff are mostly helpful and friendly, but a bit extra (tips) can really motivate them more. We did cannoning and snorkelling here for activities. The water was ok for snorkelling, not much to see under the water as lots coral are ruined. My guess is due to the large amount of guests (the hotel is very busy, and we were told by couple people the place often gets fully booked). the food is great with many options. Room is great with very clean floor, comfy bed, and big bottled water offered.

Negatives reported by others seem wrong
Before going to the resort (but after booking!) I checked reviews from other travellers. While most people were positive there were a disturbing number of negative reports, mainly in three areas. 1) Staff unhelpful or unfriendly. You've got to be kidding. With one exception the staff were always helpful and friendly, always ready to answer questions. Perhaps it depends on how customers approach staff. If you are hostile and demanding, then do not expect a friendly response. Ask with a smile and you will get back the same. 2) Food was bad or always the same. Of course this is a buffet so there are some constants from day to day. You can, if you try hard, eat the same thing every day. If you want to vary, then there is always the opportunity. In the 6 days we were there, we never had the same dinner twice. The quality of the food was good, but the meat tended to be a little tough. Apart from that, no complaints from us. 3) Rooms were dirty or smelly. Well we only know about our room, but it was always clean and we never noticed any smell at all in the room. There were a couple of places on the island where that was a smell but it was confined to a couple of small areas and easily avoided. Overall, we were very satisfied with the room, the food, the staff and the island, and delighted by the beaches and the crystal clear and warm sea. Resort islands in the Maldives are not cheap. By Maldives standards this resort is towards the bargain end.
