The deluxe garden bungalow overlooking the water was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and another single bed. It could easily fit a family with 1-2 children. The staff was excellent - many of them were young Sri Lankan men that were informative and energetic. English was difficult at times but 75% of the time everything was understood. The location is unbeatable with a gorgeous view - a short 25 minutes by boat from the airport and next to the Four Seasons. The evening music entertainment was nice as well.

“Lived the Maldivian Overwater Experience and LOVED IT!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
There's no AC in the bathroom section of the suite so it can get pretty humid and stuffy in there. There was a large variety of food but we didn't find the taste to be overly amazing and delicious, especially at the pasta station (though all the chefs are super nice and try their best to accomodate). When you get off the boat and go to reception, the area doesn't look very luxurious so I think they could do a better job of cleaning up the rocks and stuff but maybe that's because it's undergoing renovation? It would be nice if they had bikes for guests so that we can travel easier around the island, but I heard that once renovations are completed, guests at the overwater bungalows will be provided with them. I thought that they could include more things in the all-inclusive package rather than just food. Many resorts actually include things in the AI packages, like access to non-motorized things like kayaks and snorkeling gear. Also, the mini bar inside the room is not included, which is suprising for AI (however, they do provide two bottles of complimentary water per day in the room so that's great). The AI drinks menu is also quite limited as fresh fruit juices are not included (though they do have fresh pressed juices that you can choose for breakfast). The next point is not the resort's fault, who cautioned us against already (signs are posted too): the water by the overwater suites has a very strong current at all times, so if you are not a strong swimmer (and even if you are), you must be very careful. That being said, we were just super cautious and it didn't stop us from getting into the water despite me not being a strong swimmer (we found it the best to start snorkeling from the beach and the water just carries us naturally back to the overwater suites around suite 218/219!
I was really concerned prior to arriving to the resort as 80 percent of the island is undergoing renovation at the moment. The resort reassured me that it wouldn't be an issue if we stay at the overwater suites and they were true to their word: we were in paradise on our side of the island (beach, pool, bar and restaurant open..restaurant and bar next to Pasta Point also open) and were free of any indications that there was construction going on on the island. This was only visible when we took a walk around the island and also some facilities were closed, like tennis courts etc., but it didn't bother us. The overwater suite was AMAZING...I don't think you will be able to find an overwater experience that is as big as the suites here at such a "reasonable" room + all-inclusive price point (reasonable compared to other resorts that have quite outdated, modern overwater bungalows!!!). I loved that that they combined elements that made it more special (a bluetooth speaker to play your own music, a little peephole in the ground of the living room and also the catamaran net on the patio) and it was just so modern and lovely that even the most critical of voices (my husband) loved it! WE saw little nurse sharks and also manta rays swimming around the overwater suites and swam with them too...amazing! Staff also very nice and accomodating and it's nice that they have little events organized around dinner time (we had a guy who sang and played instruments during dinner...it was really nice).

Pool would really benefit from an uplifting. It’s completely outdated and looks old. Staff servicing bar, pool and beach could use some training and change in their lazy, don’t bother me attitude. The welcoming needs to be worked out (it’s completely old school, no one does it like that anymore, unless you’re running a 3 star minus hotel)!as well as the explanation about everything is made, really clumsy.
Location, the beach, cleanliness and food.

Water villas are spacious and comfortable. Restaurant specially dedicated for water villas clients is great, so is variety of meals and options. All inclusive drinks are very good to, and made of middle range selection of alcohol. I really liked snorkeling directly from villa terrace and inner beach, good variety of fish and small and middle sea creatures, including mantas and small sharks passing by the villas. Local Diving center offers few good places for diving and snorkeling.
