The location and the service was perfect. A bit limited in what you can do as activities, and the welcoming was not the great with not very clear explanation. The rest of the holiday was amazing. Great service, good food and amazing cocktails by Mr. Guru! Highly recommended place to spend 4-5 days in complete relax in a dreamy place!

“Just the right size resort for the Maldives - big enough to have the facilities but not so big that you may as well be in the Caribbean. And also the house reef is excellent for swimming and snorkelling” - Nicola
