The island is beautiful, the color of the water is unbelievable, could not stop starring at it every day. We could see plenty of fish, sharks, stingray. Breakfast was very good and diverse. We had dinner twice at the Maldivian restaurant at the Marina and we loved it: dish was so flavorful and delicious, and the desert was mouth watering. We also tried Elephant and Butterfly and the Sessions restaurants and they were both very good options for dinner. Nevertheless be aware food is really expensive there, but it is definitely a unique experience, unlike any other we had so far. We really loved riding the bike over the bridge to go to Marina and the Beach Club and basically anywhere around the island.

This hotel is great for family. Spacious island with lots of things to do and many restaurants. The location is perfect, only 20 mins by boat from Male Airport. The food is really good. Everything we tried at any restaurant was delicious. The staff are amazing, very friendly, initiative and kind. I highly recommend this hotel.

Very attentive staff, especially Zahid who was with us throughout our stay.
Very clean facilities, including kids club.
Food is good. Massage is amazing.
You can go to the resort via the speedboat which I consider an advantage.

Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

This was our second time at Ozen in 4 months. First time ... couldn't fault it. This time ... not so positive, we had to move rooms. As the first night we were disturbed all night by noisy neighbours with unruly kids and blaring music and shouting. We had the 2 bedroom beach villa 508 as requested same as time before but this time it was not as great. Second night other side were noisy also so we moved the next day. It
Seemed a big group of Russians took over and it was very rowdy,
The second room was dusty and smelt damp. Esp the second bedroom where our little boy slept. We had issues with the A.C and again noise. This time the bottle area where the laundry team use to put old bottles and bedding etc we could hear bottles being thrown all evening until turndown had been completed. All in all we had paid $18k dollars for accommodation only. And we're not as impressed as last time. Would be hesitant to return. Will try elsewhere next time. Our butler however was as amazing as always as were the staff, just let down by guests and also room issues.

Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male...
So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters.
Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs.
But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years.
Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful.
Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻♂️
The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot.
Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive.
Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

Our villa over the sea was amazing. A few steps down into crystal clear torquoise sea water. Snorkelling, even around the villas withy water depth of around 1m was exceptional. It is exactly as imagined and seen in videos of Maldives over the years. Paradise. Staff were fabulous and the entire resort fabulous. Restaurants and food could not be better either. Our "host" Ibrahim, was so helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and on call, 24/7 if needed. We will be back and we will ask for Ibrahim again.
We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.
We are extremely happy with the service provided by staff (Shuja, Bala, Niju, Azzam,Mohamed, Aman). we will definitely recommend our friends and family. Bala the manager made this happen. they looked after our 7 year old son as he is prince of maldives! humongous hamper in the room and surprise dinner on the beach was extraordinarily great! would recommend all to visit this small island for taj hospitality! thank to all! god bless!
The hard rock hotel over all and the cross marina , the neighborhood resort saii all good and having variety of restaurants with different cuisines , biking around the resort and marina is so nice and easy to access all facilities and restaurants, special thanks to sukiana who assisted us from the time we reached until check out , she was so detailed and she leads us for everything
The service was exceptional. Staff were outstanding made us feel welcome every moment of our stay. Especially Mooz working on the beach bar, was amazing! A beyond expectations experience. Our Butler Shark organized our stay very nicely and was always available for last minute changes. Definitely coming again! The food was the best that we’ve ever had in a hotel. Absolutely amazing!
Velassaru is located near the main island where you land. Staff is extremely kind and accommodating. Service is great. We stayed in an overwater bungalow with pool and our room was spacious, the pool was amazing. At night you have the greatest privacy in using the pool and deck. Weather is amazing in Maldives at this time. We got a photo shoot and it's worth the money.
I checked so many hotels before going to Maldives and most of them were quiet far and overpriced. Transfer from airport cost more than the actual price you pay for one night stay. But Adaaran Club Rannalhi was the only hotel I came across with reasonable price for transferring from airport to the hotel. Only cost me 160 dollars by ferry both ways.
Best hotel buffet breakfast I have had - loads of choice, well spaced out dining area and attentive staff at both tables and food areas. A good length of time was given to breakfast (3hrs) to accommodate everyone and there was a useful little chart in the room indicating when breakfast was quieter & busy.
The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
It was the best hotel experience in my life.
The staff and the attention is a 10 ( a one dedicated person for you the 24 hours). You will be feel like a King.
The Japanese restaurant is amazing
The general restaurant is very good gourmet food.
The Service and the hotel facilities were the absolute highlight!!! Big thanks to our butler Sato and all the staff of the hotel who certainly made our honeymoon unforgettable. Hotel location and beach simply amazing, will certainly go back
The Location is close to airport, the transfer from male , the Hotel very nice , the pool is nice , food and entertainment live music the cinema
The Staff very friendly, the whole surroundings and the grounds really pretty
Amazing hotel with amazing staff! The hotel is beautiful and everybody is extremely attentive. We felt very well looked after and were impressed with the level of service and cleanliness.
Great well-kept territory with plenty of things to do. We loved the variety of bars and lush greenery on hotel premises. Our water Villa also had great fresh interior and privacy.
