Pros:

Our stay at Ayala Ocean View was superb! We stayed for 4 nights and were so sad to leave! The food was great, rooms were incredibly clean (and also cleaned twice a day!) and spa was so lovely. The staff are incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for us - they organised sun beds for us on the beach, lent us snorkel equipment and even let us shower in a spare room after we had checked out. Would not hesitate to recommend!

Hotel with loads of potential but few mistakes
Pros:

Rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, however, I booked a superior room and got an interior room with views to a 1spm patio with all aircon engines.
When asked for a change, they told me it was not available.
Breakfast was basic but nice and tasty, as well as dinners.
On check out I was asked by a gentleman to pay for the room and meals, yet everything was already paid for.. I did not mind, yet I found it very unprofessional.
Sundbeds at 'bikini beach' are def a plus.

Pros:

Bellissimo hotel su un'isola dei pescatori, confortevole, pulitissimo: il ragazzo rassetta la camera 2 volte al giorno; il cibo molto buono. La spiaggia vicina comoda da raggiungere, con un mare stupendo, tipico delle Maldive. È stata una bella vacanza rilassante, l'isola si può girare tutta a piedi, con la massima tranquillità, i maldiviani sono persone eccezionali.

Absolutely fantastic!
Pros:

I had an absolutely fantastic stay, the staff are incredible, rooms clean and spacious and the food absolutely delicious. I was nervous about being a solo traveller, and this wasn’t a problem at all, variety of guests and friendly staff made for a very welcome stay! Will definitely be returning!

Terrible
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights only but it felt like 2 weeks. The room was dirty and the view terrible. There are so much constructions going on around the island and its very limited things to do. Beach area was OK, but nothing special.

Some of the staff members were really helpful, but others the opposite. We were given incorrectly information by the reception multiple times causing our plans to crash.

There were huge insects in the room coming from the washroom. No warm water at the beginning, so staff had to fix it. The electricity dissapeared out of the blue(only in our room), so the staff had to fix it.

Pros:

I had a great three night stay at Ayala Ocean View. The room was spotless, spacious, bright, and everything worked! Also very quiet for a peaceful night's sleep. Nice views from my top floor room and patio outside. The staff were kind, attentive, and respectful. The shower was a bit fickle--alternating unpredictability between cold and scalding hot, but this was just a small inconvenience.

The hotel and staff were wonderful but I had to leave after one night because of the banging and drilling. I couldn’t sit on the balcony, it was constant noise.
