Pros:

Океан и природа. Еда в ресторане немного однообразная, но вкусная.

Cons:

В номере постоянный запах канализации. Кровати очень-очень узкие.
Предложение экскурсий не разнообразное.

Pros:

Şehir merkezinde

Cons:

Gece saat 03:00 elektrikler kesilmiş, ben uykudaydım, 400 civarı karınca banyo giderinden çıkarak üzerimi, yatağı ve odayı sarmış. Gece bu sorunumu çözemediler, rezil bir biçimde uyudum, odamı değiştirmelerini istedim, otel boş olmasına rağmen bunu yapmadışar. Sosyal imkanları çok zayıf, sıkıcı bir otel. Yanlış tercih.

Pros:

Struttura con camere a piano terra tipo villette a schiera in mezzo ad un giardino abbastanza curato. Camere ampie con veranda, condizionatore e pale. Spiaggia con diverse calette e con buon accesso al mare, attrezzate con lettini, molte zone d'ombra. Galline e gatti allegrano il soggiorno

Cons:

Struttura e arredi un po' vecchi. Alcuni particolari non curati (piastrelle rotte, crepe che fanno entrare formiche). Il giardino andrebbe più curato anche perché, nonostante i gatti, ho visto topi girare. I pasti sono a buffet e non di alta qualità, quasi tutto era un po' troppo condito, poca possibilità di cibi leggeri a parte l'angolo insalate. Avrei gradito un servizio noleggio scooter per poter girare in autonomia.

Okay stay. There are many areas for improvement.
Pros:

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.

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.

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.

Cons:

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.

We booked a snorkeling excursion that was just okay, but the best snorkeling experience by far was at Asdu Park. Due to ongoing reclamation in the area, the water has become murky and rough, which made the overall experience less enjoyable than expected.

Pros:

Such a wonderful place! Wd visited end of July and it was tranquil and laid back. Definitely more than a three-star hotel
Nice staff, each and everyone of them.
Mr. Gadar in the restaurant always saw to ot that our usual drinks arrived without us having to request it. Mr. Ali  was always so helpful to advise for dishes and prepare the omelets. 
Mr. Nero at the bar, always with a smile. And Mr...... from housekeeping,  who made sue we felt super-comfortable, and one day decorated our bed with a beautiful flowe design.
The gentleman whose name I don't remember who brought mattresses for the sunbeds.
Responsive, helpful, efficient reservation staff.  After our flight to Male was interrupted midway and we arrived several hours later, we missed the flight to Gan. I informed the hotel in writing and they were kind enough to arrange seats on a later flight. They also allowed us to use our room after check-out to shower, and because of our delayed arrival, gave us free access to lunch on the last day.
For all-inclusive package, the hotel offers for free daily snorkeling trip and twice a week island hopping.
Several sun lounges on sand- covered floor - feels like a beach (beach itself usually covered by the sea, hotel grouns are on a higher level). Sea offers amazing snorkelling opportunities, rich sea life (hotel should include a training session for guests to teach them not to stand on or touch the corals).
Pool is pretty, but we did not use it.
Dishes at meal time were constantly replenished, variety was not large but sufficient.  Food was tasty. Several cocktails on all-inclusive menu.
Room spacious,daily cleaning, very efficient. Towels and sheets exchanged daily, spotlessly 2 water bottles per day (can request more at bar with All-inclusive).
Loved the cats and cockorels that come greet you on your verandah or beach chair.
Would definitely visit again if flights to Gan were cheaper and didn't raise overall costs so much.

Cons:

High tea from 4-6 pm (free for all-inclusive) was disappointing. 
Breakfast ends eaely, at 9:30.
Timing of  meal times and excursions is not ideal.
Lunch is 12:30-2 and afternoon snorkeling trip starts at 2 pm - snorkeling so soon after eating can be dangerous. Why not start the snorkelling half hour ater meals end?
Mattress was wobbly.
Shower floor is slippery when wet with shampoo.

Lovely hotel and staff, great food and drinks - excellent value for money!
Pros:

The food offered is really good, and the booze is strong which is always good. The pool and beach areas were great, and the fitness centre was fairly good for a short holiday work out.

Cons:

The pool bar was a great addition, but bit of music would have been much better to relax and enjoy.

The staff was excellent, really lovely; however we did notice the communication between them was rather poor which led to a lot of confusion when trying to plan different things.
