OK, now where to start.

OK, now where to start.
There are a few pros, and many cons in my opinion.
The pros: most of the stuff is friendly and helpful (if you give them a tip now or then).
Collection from the airport went well, ride time with the boat was about 20 minutes.

The cons: the island is close to the airport, so there is quite a lot of air traffic (especially from smaller water planes) around.
The management is in-consequent with their "no drones allowed" policy. Before I got here I asked for a permit to fly with a drone, anywhere on the island or even when outside on a boat excursion. I got denied any drone flying whatsoever. When I was there, a guy pulled out his drone and started flying. He was stopped by the staff right away. But then he got the counter, asked for a permit, and got a permit! Yeah, that's how you do it! If you do it the correct way and ask in advance, you get nothing. But if you are brazenly, you get what you want! I spoke to the guy at the counter and he couldn't really explained that. I told him how disappointed I was, and was expecting at least some compensation. But I got nothing! Very disappointing! And I asked in advance, many weeks before my stay, many e-mails, all denied to fly with the drone!

The next thing: at 00:30 in the night the telephone rang! Someone from the reception asked if they should send someone to fix the WiFi...I never called the reception nor did I asked for help with the WiFi. Thanks to the call in the middle of the night the kids woke up and my wife and myself couldn't really get back to sleep so the next day was really hard...

The food in the "Bageecha" restaurant: for the Indian guests (there are a LOT of them!) it was very good I'd say, for a european it was very bad. So few choices of "european" food, very fish-based, and the worst thing: due to the building style (no real "walls"), the wind was going through the restaurant all the time, making the food cold. So from putting it to the plate until getting to your table, the food was cold already. The quality was quite OK, the desserts had a good variety. The next problem are the Indian guests. So, dear Indian people, if you read this: NO, you cannot take your fingers to get the vegetables out of the bowl! There are food pliers to do the job!! It is unhygienic to take your fingers for this! And if there are people in front of you, waiting for some food to get re-filled, it is not OK to step ahead and try to be the first one, when others have been there waiting for minutes! Get some manners!

The next thing that I didn't like at all: why on earth do I have to sign EVERY bill, even though it is a "0,00 US$" bill as I was an All-Inclusive guest? That is very annoying and counteracts the "environment protecting" idea a lot!
In the Bar we always had to wait quite long for our drinks (except for some waiters, who were very nice - but later more of that), then got the bill after just one drink, so to let us know "no more than one drink please". Very annoying! The quality of the AI-drinks was quite OK, softdrinks came from a bottle/can, same with the beer. The cocktails were quite OK, too - if you got them after a while.

And the final bad thing came up when I was home - one of the "nice" waiters (he even followed me on Instagram!) copied a photo from my Instagram-account (!) and put it on his own account! I reported it and it got removed luckily. But how sneaky is that?

The "Q Adventures" watersports were quite good, the snorkeling and dolphin tours were awesome, very helpful staff, good organisation. The Jetski-ride was good, too. I can't recommend the parasailing though, I asked if we would be sailing in front of the island, and they said yes. But instead we went out onto the ocean, so we saw: water, water, water and even more water...

Overall I cannot recommend this hotel. The Maldives are lovely, so next time I will go somewhere else, further away from the airport, with hopefully fewer Indian guests...
