We were on the island for 14 days in March 2019 in a sunset villa in the south of the island.
At that time there were 70% Russians, many English and Italians and very few Germans.
According to the description, the bungalows, wherever two are together, are of different sizes, but we could not find any difference. Only the showers, the terraces and the condition of the rooms are different.
According to other guests, the water bungalows and the standard bungalows are very shabby inside.
Our room was very clean on arrival, not a speck of dust anywhere, not even on the closet.
The island is very big and even has cobblestone streets where diesel vehicles are driven and pollute the air!
In the middle of the island the air is literally standing.
At 5 p.m., poison against the vermin is sprayed all over the island!
But you still get stung in the evening.
In the west of the island there is often a smell of sewage!

The most beautiful beach is in the south and on the eastern tip.
The food is very good, you can eat very varied in 14 days, but unfortunately not typically Maldivian.
The prices for the drinks are quite high and the quality of the cocktails is very poor.
There was only Asian beer, Anchor and now and then Carlsberg.
The music in the evening in the main bar was way too loud and since the DJ really turned up after 10 p.m., it was still so loud after midnight that you couldn't sleep even at the other end of the island. There were several complaints from various guests, but the party Russians were given preference.

I can only advise against the snorkeling tour with the whale sharks.
You are verbally guaranteed to see whale sharks and after booking you have to sign that it is lucky to see you. We were then on the boat the whole morning and then drove back and forth with over 15 other boats in front of the island, but we did not see any polling sharks.
In the water it was also very dangerous because of the many boats.
On a second excursion, a small whale shark was briefly seen by some guests on the boat. A lot of money burned for nothing.
Conclusion:
For us it is the Maldives' Ballermann, if you are looking for peace and a Robinson Crusoe feeling, this is totally wrong!
