Dolphin Cruise rides arranged by resort lacked safety - they didnt provide life jackets [ it was a very old boat ] and life jackets on board werent easily accessible. The sea was choppy and basic safety was lacking in my opinion.

Staff Butler (Mr Praveen) was exceptional for Ocean Villa - He helped us get all the info and was very easily accessible. Everything we wanted was made easily available - Rooms were great and view was also superb.

The room were not so clean and need an uplift. The drinks at the beach grill was not so good, much better in the other bar. We did not like that the staff tried to sell things to us every day. Like dinner experience and trips. And our waiter told us that he worked for six moths i a row. Every day from breakfast to dinner. So we felt a little bit sorry for him and his working conditions. The reef around the island is dead so the snorkling was not so good. But there were a lot of fish to see.

We loved the location of our bungalow. We had 10 meters to the ocean. Our waiter that we had the hole trip were great. We liked the indian food at the restaurant. The drinks at the Tiki bar were great. The Island itself is beautiful.

Communication with the property prior to arrival was subpar at best - it was very hard to get them to respond. Most non-alcoholic cocktails tasted a bit the same. Pizza at Lohis Bar tasted like the frozen ones you can get in a supermarket. There were a couple of cleanliness issues with tableware at Banyan restaurant (all resolved quickly though). Beaches are not spotless and pristine - there are branches, leaves and other debris (not an excessive amount, but still). No big sprawling reefs close to the shore as far as I saw (it's not an issue of the property though).

Deluxe Beach Villa was spacious and comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. There were AC, kettle and coffee machine. The minibar was restocked daily, room was cleaned well too. The open shower in the back of the villa was a nice touch. Bars around the island had a good variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and cocktails as well as some quick bites to eat (salads/sandwiches/pizza - chicken sub was especially delicious). Food at Banyan restaurant was reasonably varied and quite tasty. The staff was cheerful and welcoming. The island overall left an impression of living in a botanical garden - lots of plants and animals to see. You can even pick up fallen coconuts and try opening them yourself if that's your thing.

The check-in process was a bit slow, the buffet restaurant was ok but food was the same every day. The wine selection was not great but in some outlets was better than others. Strangely they do not have any room service available and the minibar selection was not very good. I would suggest to have some diet sodas/sugarfree options on the menu. The beach villa’s bathroom was surprising, it was nice and big but partially open air. However only a tiny part was outdoor with a shower so not really enough to enjoy being outside or have any view, just really hot and lots of mosquitos. The windows should have some proper shading, if not blackout at least some darker curtains.

Beautiful lush green island, the resort is nicely nested in the vegetation. All the beach villas are literally on the beach, the surrounding reef is super close and provides amazing snorkelling. There is lots of shade, breeze and the water is mostly shallow in the non-surfing areas. The resort is a short 30 mins speedboat ride from Male airport, very easy access. The food oulets are ok, food is plenty, the cocktails are really good with a big variety of choices. The beach villa is spacious, bed is comfortable and has all the amenities you should expect. There is plenty of tours and water sports to spend time actively. The staff was nice and helpful.
