Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The resort’s commitment to sustainability impressed us. It is thoughtfully embedded everywhere, from design to daily practices. Waking up to stunning ocean views each morning set the tone perfectly. Though my mother couldn’t join sports or snorkeling, she never felt bored. The spa was deeply relaxing, and the Marine Lab lecture felt both educational and special. What truly stood out was the staff’s kindness: Sama, Ranjit, Aiman, Lynn, Fatima, Jin. Every interaction made the trip truly special for us.

Outstanding service personnel so kind and dedicated Great food in the restaurant and for dining experience. We had the floating breakfast and romantic dinner by the beach on ad-hoc setup with food cooked for us exclusively. Fabulous! Excellent service at the diving center with Yameen who took video for us while snorkeling. Outstanding! had a Deep tissue massage at the spa, wonderful experience, location, setup, attention to details and massage technique, all was really good.

The weather in Madai is very important. The sun was shining brightly and the sea was beautiful during the few days I was there. The hotel kept making mistakes in the booking process. I was very dissatisfied. It was much better to communicate face to face after arriving on the island. The restaurant and room service were very enthusiastic. The guy who delivered the supplies at night was very cute.

Awesome resort hotel! Although the bedroom is a little small, the bathroom is semi-outdoor, and there are a lot of ants, everything else is perfect! There is a hot tub by the pool, and the spa is great! The food in the three restaurants is rich and delicious! Snorkeling is below expectations, there are not many live corals, not many fish, and the waves are a bit big. The beach is very white, fine and beautiful!

Apart from the bed, the remaining floor space is barely enough to accommodate a suitcase. Is this 110 square meters?

The first island I visited in Maldives, the impression was beyond my expectation. I experienced sea fishing, spa, participated in a party, watched local singing and dancing performances, and watched fish in the jelly sea every day. The environment is very good. Some frangipani flowers fall in the yard every day and are placed in the room. There are many cute hermit crabs on the beach. Although they are all sand houses, you can also experience the infinity pool and net bed in the Japanese restaurant. The food is also rich, with many dishes and good taste. The staff on the island are very polite and friendly. There are small surprises every night when I go back. I gave the little turtle refrigerator magnet and bookmarks. I bought Banyan Tree aromatherapy cups and soaps on the island. The best thing is that the island will arrange speedboats according to the time, and there will be people to pick up and drop off at the airport. You can also rest in the public area after checking out, avoiding the embarrassment of being put in Male early and doing nothing. My English is not very good, but I can go ahead with confidence. Everyone is very patient and enthusiastic. I saw two beautiful sunsets here. I think I will always remember this wonderful time. See you~Vabbinfaru
