The staff here are incredible. Warm, friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the beach superb. Buffet is good and varied with live food counters. White sand and clear blue water. Weather can be a bit unpredictable but mostly rain is heavy but warm and lasts no more than 2 to 4 hours of the day. We had 4 unsettled days out of 12 but were grateful for an enforced break from the sun! I would have given the resort 5 stars but it does feel a bit busier than other smaller resorts. It's a shame there are no credits for those on AI to use the a la carte venues as the smaller restaurants like the Thai and Italian, which are both excellent and have amazing staff, are often quite empty (big thanks to Kowsar at the Thai restaurant who was amazing). Quick transfer from Male (although I think this can be longer if your flights don't fit), easy check in then nothing to do but relax. It was good value for money and it is family friendly. Only downside as stated is it lacks the sense of privacy and intimacy of a smaller resort.
