The location was fantastic, being close to Male and the international airport, offering a true tropical paradise experience with white sand, crystal clear water, and beautiful sunny skies. The speedboat transfer taking only 15 minutes was convenient, and the dedication of the staff, like Subrato and Shamil, made us feel like royalty in a surreal setting.

The hotel offers one of the best rooms I have stayed in, with rooms made up twice a day to ensure freshness while enjoying the pools and lagoon. The service is impeccable, though I encountered a minor issue that may stem from a lack of confidence in guests. The location is convenient for short stays near the airport but is noisy due to airplane traffic. The dining experience was superb, with a wide array of delicious options available. The facilities are top-notch and contributed to making my stay the best break ever.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with excellent service that made our stay unforgettable. The location is ideal for those looking for a relaxing beach getaway, and the dining experience is diverse and satisfying. However, the Lagoon Villa may not be suitable for families with children due to safety concerns.
