Nice stay and snorkelling at your door step
Pros:

The best is the location if you have gone for snorkelling and relax. The bikini beach is little but beautiful. The room is also very confortable.

Cons:

The meals were basic, all the buffettes were very similar, it made no difference if it was lunch or dinner, or different days of the week. They were very lack of fruit (no mango, pineapple, watermelon...), even in the breakfast that didn´t have either fresh juices, only industrial (in the tropics! and in Maldivas!). They have to improve this aspects.
On the other hand, be careful because they don´t accept MVR and also increase a 3.5% if you pay with credit card.
Finally I would like to mention that is the best place to see Mantas, but there is a very, very remote possibility to see whale sharks.

La pulizia della camera, l’attenzione del personale, la splendida educazione e disponibilità di tutti, il fatto di essere accolti sempre con un sorriso e con tanta gentilezza.

Perfecto
Pros:

Estuvimos casi una semana con media pensión. Los chicos de allí te hacen sentir como en casa. Son muy agradables, te ofrecen excursiones y todo lo necesario para disfrutar de los días allí. Comida muy buena y un detalle todas las noches cenar en la playa. Cena romántica todas las noches. Una maravilla. Instalaciones perfectas,limpias y agradables. Repetiríamos sin dudar.

Wonderful front beach stay, relaxing, helpful staff, good food - would totally stay here again!
Pros:

I loved all of it. Would definitely stay here again. Best location as it is in front of bikini beach and next to volleyball net and screen where they play movies sometimes. Very kind and attentive staff. Nice buffet local breakfast with the sea view under palm trees. The room was comfy, it all worked perfectly fine. Enough space, and with a desk if you need to work. You can snorkel from the beach in front.

Cons:

Would be awesome for the Wifi to reach the beach and extending a little bit the breakfast hours. But it is not esential.

Chilling
Pros:

Superb location on the beach, fantastic service. One can go snorkelling and swimming right in front (the beach itself is too shallow to swim in). Watch the hermit crabs walk around while chilling at the beach.

Pros:

Staff very helpful. Breakfast buffet had a good selection, swimming pool infront of the room was clean, also a kids pool for the little ones. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff went the extra mile to fulfill our needs.

Cons:

Bit far in to the island, away from any convenient store.
