Undoubtedly, the Maldives is a paradise, an ocean of insane beauty, snow-white and fine as flour sand, an extraordinary sky that changes its colors a hundred times a day, bright sunsets and wonderful sunrises, a place where you forget about everything in the world and take a break from gray everyday life and the hustle and bustle of everything one hundred%.
As for the hotel, I will try to be objective, I don’t want to say anything bad, but the hotel has its shortcomings. For the first trip to the Maldives, you can safely choose this hotel, but the second time I would not return to it.
By accommodation: we lived in bungalow No. 114 on the right side of the pier, the hotel was completely full, and therefore we are so glad that we did not settle on the other side of the island, although we tried. The bungalows are spacious and very basic, but definitely in need of a refurbishment. Our bungalow had a beautiful patio with a view of the ocean from the veranda. Plus the fact that there is a shower outside is very convenient.

As for the beach, it’s really the best beach from the side of the pier, on the other side of the island the picture is not at all Maldivian, the runway that was built ruined everything, it seems that there is not an ocean, but some kind of channel, the color of the water is dark and everything is dotted with pieces of coral , it’s not clear where to swim... except to swim with a mask. Inside the island, everything is fenced off with some kind of concrete fence, behind which a 3-storey house was built, in which, as I understand it, the attendants live, and there are many other buildings, it’s strange that so much space is allotted for outbuildings, but in general it doesn't spoil the picture.
As for cleaning the room, our rumba didn’t bother much, cleaned it once a day, changed beach towels only on request, small face towels were asked for only on the 5th day of stay, there were no detergents in the room !! ! even elementary as for a 4 * hotel is strange, but we always take our cosmetics with us, we replenished tea / coffee every other time, despite the fact that tips were left every day, in fact, they did not pay attention to these shortcomings, but there are tourists whom this would definitely strain .
In terms of nutrition, everything is ok, everything was enough, the choice is not huge, but everything was delicious, without frills. The service in the restaurant is good, the waiters are all smiling and friendly.
In the evening every day a different animation in the bar near the pier.
As a result, the hotel itself, I would say a solid 3 *, but not 4 *.
All this brightens up the snow-white beach and the ocean, in principle, only because of this, we went to the Maldives.
Therefore, next time I definitely want a more expensive and better hotel and a smaller island.
P. S We went to the neighboring island of San Island, we didn’t really like it, the territory is beautiful, but it feels like it’s Turkey, there are too many people and fuss.
