everything is excellent, food is great but service is top of the line

Friendly staff anf amazing food with breathtaking view from every corner of the island. We just loved everything about Joali eventhough I feel it was over priced.

Everything, it’s a beautiful property, the rooms and staff are fantastic

The villa was incredible. Our jugudar Arif was so helpful and made everything stress free. Overall a pricey vacation but the pictures do it no justice, one of the most beautiful places and hotels in the world.

Joali has really captured the essence of service and dedication to their guests. Had the most amazing time. From the impeccable service to the amazing cuisine served in all the restaurants, it truly has been a magical experience. Cannot wait yo be back! Thank you Joali

Clean, elegant, attention to detail, great coral, spacious villas, great housekeeping, our butler Hebe took care of everything.. she was amazing.
