Hotel ratings by criteria:
The island is 700m x 300m in size. Very green.
ROOMS
There are standard bungalows in the depths of the island with several rooms in one building, there is no piece of the beach. The remaining bungalows are superior and deluxe, one and two rooms each. These bungalows are not located on the shore itself, they are separated from the shore by trees. The ocean is just a few seconds away. The bungalow has everything you need: air conditioning, fan, a lot of different furniture. The houses have a large veranda with a table and chairs. Each bungalow has sunbeds and mattresses. Beach and other towels are changed every day, linen has been changed three times for all the time, and then when we threw it on the floor. The bathroom is big. There is no bath, there is a shower. There is hot water. Toiletries only soap and toilet paper. The superior rooms have showers in the mini garden. Each room has a faucet where you can rinse your feet from the sand.

BEACH

There is a narrow strip of beaches around the entire island, with the exception of a small area on the north side between exits 8 and 9. At the eastern end of the island there is a wide sandy spit, along which at low tide you can reach a small rocky island. The beach is not cleaned from vegetable debris, but it is cleaned from household waste. In some places there are large mushrooms for 4 loungers. And so the sunbed can be placed in the shade of trees.

OCEAN
The ocean is great. There is a reef around the whole island, where you can see a bunch of all kinds of living creatures. But there are few living corals in shallow water. I strongly advise you to explore the reef with scuba diving, it's worth it. Starting from a depth of 5 meters there are a lot of corals and much more fish. You can see moray eel, stingray, parrot fish, turtle, dog fish, lionfish and a great many other fish.

NUTRITION
The island has one restaurant, two bars, a tee-shop located in the Sunset Bar. You can choose any type of food, even all inclusive.
The food is all fresh, but I would not say that it is very tasty. There is a choice of meat dishes. Of the fish, mainly one tuna, cooked in different forms. There is a chicken. Side dishes are made from potatoes, rice, pasta and a few vegetables. The choice of salads is not great. Grated carrots, boiled beets. Chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce. For breakfast there are a lot of pastries, juices from bags. There are fruits and desserts. For the price that asking for the hotel, everything is not even bad. There are very spicy dishes, there are not spicy, you need to try.

SERVICE
Everyone is very friendly. Rumba room is cleaned twice a day. Sweeps the sand, makes the bed, treats the room from insects, changes towels every day. but with what frequency the bed should be changed, I did not understand. In restaurants, waiters are attached to you, I serve you quickly. In a restaurant, a table is assigned to a room. Everyone at the front desk is smiling.
But if English or German is bad, then it is very difficult to speak and there is no one to help, since there are almost no Russians there at all. Every day the island is treated with smoke from mosquitoes.

ENTERTAINMENT

Of the entertainment on the island, diving, snorkeling, there is a small gym, a court, two volleyball courts, billiards, 2 table tennis tables, a catamaran, a canoe, surfing. There are several excursions, all not expensive. If you take all inclusive, then two excursions are free. This is a local village and night fishing. The village can be replaced with an island with a barbecue. They are also taken to reefs in other places, but Vilamendu reef is better.
Disco once a week until 2 am.

DIVING CLUB
Diving Club Werner Lau Maldives. What can I say. The club building is nice, like all the buildings on the island. The main Germans here are Dani and Chris. The equipment is pretty old. I advise everyone to have their own, at least a wetsuit, mask, fins. The prices are high. These are shortcomings. But the advantages of the sea.
Firstly, the instructors are very qualified, secondly, there are about 40 dive sites. Thirdly, you can dive in pairs at any time near the island without an instructor. You can choose any convenient dive schedule that suits you. One significant note, in order to dive here you need a certificate. If you want without an instructor, then a couple is required. If you do not know English or German well, Dani will not undertake to teach you, as she is a strict and responsible lady.

FINDINGS
The money spent, the hotel pays off in full. If you are not picky and the main thing for which you eat is diving and snorkeling, then you will like it. What can upset is the weather. we had only 4 out of 12 days of good sunny days, on the rest of the days there was a lot of rain. And not 10-15 minutes, as they like to write, and sometimes for the whole day.
