We are here right now. We arrived on 30.12.23. It's our first time in the Maldives and this is definitely not the hotel to start exploring this paradise destination with.

March 2023, staying at Beach Villa, Full Board. The resort is highly controversial, and one can be easily disappointed. Pros: Transfer to the domestic flight with lounge waiting was quite smooth, considering the time. We had a morning Aeroflot flight and arrived at the resort around 14:30. The villas are relatively new and charming, with two showers, one of them being outdoors. The housekeeping is decent. The food is good, with several stations where they cook in front of you. There is also a separate room for salads, fruits, and desserts. Wi-Fi is decent. We snorkeled from the palm villas towards the restaurant and saw a small area with many beautiful fish. My husband even spotted an octopus and a moray eel. Cons: The beach line is greatly affected by tides, in the mornings the water doesn't reach up to the knees near the beach villas. Afternoon swimming is possible but shallow. The water is cloudy and there are areas with algae. The opposite side from the palm villas has better depth, but the entire shore is covered in coral gravel, so water shoes are necessary. We were lucky with our accommodation, villa 113 close to the beach villas where we swam and snorkeled in 3/4 minutes. The restaurant, bar, and pool were nearby. The island is not very green, and I don't like moving around in the heat. But I probably wouldn't recommend it unless it's heavily discounted. There won't be any beautiful ocean views there. In the video, it shows the side of the palm villas during high tide. The level is much lower during low tide, and we could swim fine. If you have already booked the tour or are going there independently, you can find some pros, but I would advise thinking carefully if you are considering it.
