Positive: We visited this island for the second time because of its incredible house reef, rich with turtles, sharks, stingrays and moray eels. The island is truly special for ocean lovers. The restaurant was outstanding. The chefs creatively transformed simple ingredients and even reused dishes in innovative ways for the next meal. We are grateful to the waiters and some housekeeping staff for their kindness and care. A special thank you to the Maldivian snorkeling guide with curly hair who showed us fish, octopuses, explained the currents, helped us swim and even filmed videos for us. He is truly in love with the ocean and protects the reef with passion. We also thank the managers for the champagne and fruits for our first wedding anniversary. We had our wedding ceremony on this island in 2025. The tailor on the island organized beautiful white decorations for our ceremony, and the chef prepared the best meringue cake we have ever tasted. Special thanks to Mirsaid from reception for his care during our stay and for helping organize our wedding ceremony and memories. The transfer organization was excellent and very smooth with Trans Maldivian Airways. Wi-Fi issues were eventually solved with routers provided by the hotel. We will carry love for this island and its people throughout our lives.
Negative: Unfortunately, housekeeping quality declined this year. The bed was often not made, towels were not replaced, and sometimes it felt like the room attendant only came to collect tips. The Italian snorkeling staff left a negative impression. During snorkeling trips we were left alone in the ocean several times. At one point I panicked and almost drowned. Some staff members seemed emotionally detached and did not appear concerned whether all guests safely returned from the water. We sincerely hope they develop more empathy and responsibility for guests’ safety. It is also a pity that beach cocktail dinners are no longer organized in 2026, as they were a very memorable and atmospheric part of the experience.
Summary: A breathtaking island with an unforgettable reef and beautiful people, but with service inconsistencies that should not
