10 days on this most incredible, paradise island, for my birthday. The level of service on the island is beyond exceptional, it is so beautiful, spotlessly clean, the most attentive staff I have ever experienced. It's very clear that this is an island that cares very much about their guests experiences. I really liked the variety of restaurants to choose from so that you didn't have to eat every night at the main restaurant. The room service & cleaning in the beach villa was exceptionally good, the beach villa was so stunning, I really loved the cute path that took you down to the private beach, all the touches that the villa had were excellent, even down to Aesop products and a very well stocked mini bar, and even mosquito repellent, everything was thought about so well. Having bikes to get around the island was also great, and fun too, and the buggy service was excellent especially at night being able to get back to the villa quickly. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff, and that really went a long way to making this holiday perfect! I hope that i am lucky enough to visit this island again because it blew me away.

The staff are really kind and caring. I would want to give them an A+++ for their outstanding service. I am grateful for our host David, and other staff like Affnan, Horu, Liu-Shuang, Ahu, Nabou, and many more! Thanks for making our stay comfortable and memorable. The housekeeping staff and operators are so personable and attentive. The island is beautiful, and the resort is very well maintained. I would highly recommend it! The food was amazingly delicious, and the kids' club also had lots of toys for our baby to play with!

Top - Notch place to be. A must visit place to be. There are absolutely two reasons up front ; 1. The most luxurious hotel in Maldives 2. The best service and its staffs Great food, beautiful sightseeing , amazing villas and the reef and snorkeling environemt have stepped up even more for past 5 years. We went back 5 times in a row because there would be nothing like here to enjoy the most of Maldives. Special thanks to Mr. Trevor Liuw who looked after us even if he was on his time off from work. He made sure that we were in good hands and checked us up for our comfortable stay. We also had the same butler, Sayyah for three years in a row. He knows what we like and what we are like. Very thoughtful genuine hard working person ! The best cocktail maker Sudeep from Nava beach. We were very glad he was still there. We always could have good conversations. Babloo was also always diligent to look after his guests in Nava beach. From breakfast, Magick was the fun one and know us well even better than ourselves. He remembers each guest’s taste and preference, he just brings things over to read your mind and always watch guests if they needed anything. He is a very funny person to entertain guests. My girl and her friends loved Sona from kidsclub and the kids club. Our time in WA was well spent, thanx to the kids club. At last, the new G.M. Not new any more- T.J. Has been amazing to bring up even more vivid energy . Normally other G.Ms weren’t as fun as him or caring enough for every single guest which is understandable because if too many guests. But T.J. Seems to try his best to get to know snd maintain guests’ interest and keep up with guests’ needs or demands. I thought it would be hard to keep up the first fame as it opened up as a new resort but T.J is leading the whole team get it together well and have different fun on top of the great quality maintenance. No reason not to visit again. The best place to be for us and mu family. Highly recommend to everyone !

The 10 different Restaurant options make sure u dont get bored of eating in one place. They have all been very very good!
