Pros:

The island is so calm and peaceful. I loved it and I loved the pool in the room it was private and calming. The staff are very nice and helpful. Especially, Gomma from the blue bar, he so helpful and serves tables fast.

Cons:

The room could be cleaner. When we reached the sheets were already dirty and seems they weren't changed from the previous guest. I waited the whole day not being able to rest in bed because the housekeeping service is slow to respond to requests, even when we asked for water.

Poor handling the situation and disappoint me with their behavior and attitude
Pros:

Location was very convenient and near to airport.

Cons:

Their staff is not trained on emergency or challenging situation as I had an incident there that some of the staff steal money approx 2000 usd from bag when I was at the beach. It was very much shocking as I was expecting that I am at resort where movement is pretty limited and it must be very safe. When i complaint to the property, they indirectly balming us rather than to help us or try to see their weak area where they should improve their security and investigate it properly to avoid such situation in future. It was very upsetting as I spent almost 1.5 days communicating with police and really spoil my holiday. They dont have any CCTVs there and if anyone will lose something, they have no SOP or system how to react or handle that situation.

Island Paradise with Private Pool
Pros:

The pool in the garden leading to the water was incredible. The staff are amazing and the food was lovely.

Cons:

All inclusive had great options for drinks at the restaurants and bar but in your room theres only water and tea/coffee. More access to soft drinks would be nice but not a reason to not come here as the place is unreal.

Cons:

Staff were not cooperative and rude. Room service was not as per 5 stars hotel or resort. We were cheated because the service and price was far below as advertised.

Amazing and memorable. Value for money too!
Pros:

Very near to Male, 15 mins by boat. Save on traveling time if you are on short trip. Room is clean, staff is friendly, delicious food, able to see sunrise and sunset on the same island.

Cons:

Rocks by the shore, so you need to be careful while snorkelling. Wearing a pair of shoes while in the water would help.

I will never go to this resort. Over priced. They do charge everything, even safety jacket which resort ls usually dont.
Pros:

Beach was excellent besides resort , rest it was way less than an average resort.

Cons:

My all money was stolen from my own room which was locked. And no one from resort took responsibility. They have no cameras and room door card details were telling room was opened by me or by cleaning staff but they didnt took responsibility. I wasted my money on this trip. They kept me busy in questioning and at the end they told me they cant do anything if something happened. Its not their responsibility

Pros:

It was a very good location calm waters peaceful rooms

Cons:

Its costly anything you order is easily around 100 dollars and over for one meal.. I booked a sunrise lagoon but I instead got other room and no one even asked me once before changing it.

Sweet memories of Maldives ☺️
Pros:

Great small island , in 10 min from the airport by the speedboat.
Loved that the island is small and cosy, you can reach by foot everywhere in just 5-7 min.
The full board package was good, the food experience for those who have food allergies is also great, the chef cooks special gluten lactose egg free deserts, which really enhances the food experience.
The staff is always welcoming and kind. Vanessa was very attentive to details. We celebrated my birthday and the staff sang the song and gifted a birthday cake (that was gluten lactose and egg free). Such a great experience!
We also used a kayak once as it was included in our package free of charge. It was a good experience.
Thank you very much everyone.

Pros:

Great staff, very good choice of all food, nice beach (be aware of corals at some parts), good service at bars. Clean. Only 15min from airport. In the evening you see lights of neighbouring islands, so not full isolation but I did not mind.
