Review of Alila Villas Hadahaa Resort Ma...

A five star luxury hide away located in the middle...

A five star luxury hide away located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and without question the nicest, most luxurious, secluded hotel I have ever been to. The moment the speedboat left the dock to return home, I had already promised myself I would return to this heaven on earth one day soon. That way I wasn't saying goodbye, but only until next time.

It is rare for me to ever feel the need to return and spend more time in the same place, because I feel as though our lives are to short and the world is so big, that we should try to switch it up as much as possible. So honestly I am not sure why the Maldives resonated so heavily with me to make me feel such a huge need to return to this paradise on earth known as; Hadahaa. Hadahaa is the atoll, which The Park Hyatt Maldives is located on, found in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This is more than a hotel; it is an experience, which will live with you forever. You will leave this island a new person, with a new appreciation for life. I know I did.

The Park Hyatt has extraordinary staff, the grounds are immaculate, the rooms are designed to perfection and the service is beyond your wildest dreams. There is nothing missing from this hotel, and it is everything a five star resort should be. The Park Hyatt Maldives is the type of hotel that sets the bar for all of it competition and I dare anyone to find a better hotel.

Upon arrival you are given a personal host. Ours was Victoria for the duration of our stay. She was sensational, and such an amazing person. When we return I will ask to have her againbecause she really is everything you'd ever want and more in a vacation host. All of their staff is the most on point staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They are all friendly, wishing you a good day and go above and beyond to ensure your experience is everything you'd ever hoped for. One of my favorite things is how they clean your room. Having a host means they know everything about you, where you are and what you are doing at all times. This allows them to take care of your every need without interfering with your stay. I loved how they would always clean our room when we were having breakfast and were always gone by the time we returned. They were like ninjas, you never knew when or where they came from but everything was taken care of.

The rooms are beautifully designed with a Zen like quality wrapped into a nature inspired core design. The architect designed the rooms so that two walls completely disappeared during the day to allow the natural light and greenery to enter your room through floor to ceiling glass walls. I loved this feature as it added so much to the room. However we didn t spend much time in the room during the day, spending most of our time by the ocean. The bathroom is my favorite part of the room and I wish I could bring this design home with me. The outdoor shower and bathtub really allow you to enjoy the Maldives at night. I took numerous baths in the huge soaker tube under the stars with the geckos on numerous occasions.
