Good budget hotel)
These are our 7th Maldives, and there is nothing to compare it to - we have been in budget four-stars and good five-stars, but the main point I want to convey is that everything should be evaluated depending on how much it costs.
When we came here, we didn't expect a super luxury vacation, exquisite food, and restaurant-style service, so the expectation matched the reality, but everything in order)
Food🥘
The selection is small but quite varied; there is always fish, sometimes seafood, beef, chicken, lamb a few times, and for breakfast there is always smoked salmon and fresh pastries. It was pleasing that there was no curry of any kind; once there was a place where 70% of all the food was curry, and choosing food adequately became quite a quest.
Here is a weekly menu, every day for lunch and dinner something different, there are always some grilled dishes.
Bar🍻
He needs to be marked separately! The bartenders are amazing, friendly, the service is excellent, they are always willing to accommodate, mix something that is not on the menu, or remove an ingredient from a cocktail) especially the guys Kamal and Birat - they are in our hearts❤️
The alcohol is quite good, by the way, I haven't had a hangover once, although I usually suffer from them.
Villas🏡
We lived in deluxe villas, a very nice beach, the entry into the water is perfect, the houses are located in seclusion, there is such a green corridor of trees leading to the ocean, you hardly see any neighbors. The houses themselves are a little worn, but it's noticeable that they are well maintained, everything is clean, repainted, and the air conditioner works perfectly. It's convenient that there is a shower and a bathtub, so you don't have to wait for each other and can wash up after swimming simultaneously)
In the superior villas near the bar, the entrance to the water is not very good, it is rocky.
Territory🌴
The island is very green, lots of vegetation, we have been to quite barren islands, here it's like a jungle, lots of flying foxes, a heron often flies to the pool)
The lagoon is simply amazing, probably the best of all we've been to - huge, without corals, without rocks, and quite deep, there's room to swim.
The deluxe villas are next to the restaurant, and the bar is on the other side of the island, which is a bit far, about 12 minutes to walk. But you can call a buggy and ride with the wind)
Overall, the hotel has a very good price-to-quality ratio; the only downside is its distance from Male. Getting there is not fast, and when planning your trip, you need to take into account that domestic flights have their own schedule, and if you have an early morning international return flight, there is a high chance you will spend the night in Male.
