From the time we landed in Male upto the resort and back we were spoilt with comfort, seamless transfers and round the clock attentiveness from our butler, Tina- who went the the extra to make our anniversary a memorable one. The resort is beautiful, our pool villa so clean and spacious, lots of activities to fill the day and sumptuous meals to fill our stomachs. We opted for full board meals which included 3 courses at different restaurants each day. We were reluctant to leave and hope we shall return soon. A perfect romantic getaway.

We really had a fantastic time! The hotel is beautiful, not too big as to feel unpersonal, not too small as to be boring, just perfect. We appreciated the variety and the quality of the restaurants and all the little details that made us feel pampered in every single way. Our buttler Eddy was just amazing and really went the extra mile by making me celebrate my birthday in the best way while being there. He is passionate about his job and made everything in him power to make sure our stay was truly unforgettable.
