My husband and I were in the Maldives for the first time and chose this hotel solely based on photos and positive reviews on the booking, but in reality everything turned out not to be the same as on the Internet. We planned to spend 3 days on paradise island and celebrate my birthday, but when we arrived, we immediately saw that construction was going on everywhere on the island, there were many abandoned buildings, and in some places there were piles of garbage. The hotel has only a very small area: a beach, a restaurant and rooms and that's it, nothing else. There are not enough sun beds for everyone!
But the main problem of this hotel is the staff! If you are going to organize some kind of celebration, then choose another hotel! The staff is completely indifferent to your requests and desires. My husband tried to arrange a birthday in advance, they promised him that everything would be done, but nothing was done on the appointed day! The staff just spread their hands and said sorry. It was only after my husband made a scandal for them that they made at least a decoration in our room the next day!! I wish them the same attitude on their birthday!
About the food: for breakfast and dinner, you can only choose certain dishes from the menu, and the choice is quite meager. The exception was one dinner on the beach with buffett and music.
In general, if you choose a hotel in a heavenly place and with excellent service, then this hotel is not the best choice! You'd better choose something else.
