It's a vibe. I like the food. 7/10 for the food on average. Some are really good, especially the pasta and boiled chicken. Drinks are refreshing too. I love the vibe here. Chickens and cats roaming around, the place has a well designed outdoor experience with lots of plants of different varieties, shaded areas, beach with pool nearby and the rooms still feel and look like the original British Royal Air Force accommodations. The entire place is largely still kept the same as it was decades ago when the British were here but with modern conveniences like air conditioning and swimming pool. Has a game room with various games like pool, tennis & badminton facilities, etc. And they have a gym too. Worth the price. Has different water sports activities from jetskis to canoes too. And it's right next to the airport.

Ridiculous, Pathetic and Bizzare. The experience we received in the resort was unparallelly bad to worst. - First and foremost there is no wifi in overall resort and only at reception with 2MBPS. So you have to get cooked if you want to work and enjoy. Since neither reception nor restaurant, bars have Aircon. - Full Board is a myth here and every person will look at you as if you are eating free. One of the world's most bizarre and awkward experiences. - And if you select FB+, then you are completely screwed up, right from reception, everyone will make you feel that your package is not good enough to eat or drink. So, we have to by heart their food chart before you dare to order. - The attitude of the staff here is ultra next level. They make you feel uncomfortable every now and then so that you feel this is the last place in the world to get the tour and you have really no options to go anywhere. - There are cockroaches in the Bathroom and despite telling them no action....pathetic. They mentioned we will reduce the charge. REALLLYYY.. - The overall experience from staff to food and leisure is completely bad to worst and they will make you feel why in the world you come to this place. And home is much easier, safer and better place to be.

The hotel itself is spacious and quite comfortable. Everything was exceptionally clean, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the water pressure in the rooms was noticeably low, and the Internet was a major disappointment. It barely worked in the public areas and was nearly impossible to connect to from the rooms. We booked a snorkeling excursion that was just okay, but the best snorkeling experience by far was at Addu Park. Due to ongoing reclamation in the area, the water has become murky and rough, which made the overall experience less enjoyable than expected. There was also some confusion around the difference between "all inclusive" and "full board," which could have been better explained. On a positive note, the staff were genuinely friendly. One of the cooks stood out in particular. He clearly takes pride in the local cuisine and runs the local food section daily. That part of the buffet was consistently the best. The rest of the food was fine, but not memorable. Drinks were another weak point. The alcohol served was very low quality and not something I’d recommend. We asked for a late checkout and were kindly given until 2 PM, which was a nice gesture. However, there was a hiccup during checkout. The staff initially said I had paid through Booking.com, but I hadn’t. It turned out the person assisting me was new. Thankfully, I asked for a receipt before heading to the airport and caught the mistake in time. Across the street, there’s a small souvenir shop run by a kind gentleman. He rents snorkeling gear and sells decent souvenirs, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it was a good stay with several highlights, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

We stayed here in February 2025. It's a nice place but be aware that it appears to be in a decaying state. The village earned many awards for excellence up until 2018, sadly nothing new since then. Rooms are clean, the grounds are somewhat kept up. The area is beautiful. Food is mediocre, not the greatest at all. It's just OK. Staff is really amazingly helpful. It is advisable to purchase the full All-Inclusive package to, if one elects to purchase the Half Board you will be treated as second class, you will pay for water at dinner, you will have to pay $18 USD if wanting lunch there on property. High Tea in the late afternoon is $5 USD, again if not all inclusive. If you use more than the water allowed in your room, you will pay for extra as well. Thie water rationing seems to be a thing in the Maldives.

Extremely impolite behavior from the front desk staff (fahm).So we were not booked and left the hotel to book another hotel. So I will not recommend this hotel to my colleague also.
