Great island , amazing chefs DANESH & a South insian chef from Trichy made me feel very happy with their preparations for the buffet at the AIR resturant. HAMDAN who waited on us at the AIR resturant went above & beyond to get our desired dishes personally to my table as I was injured during swimming & couldn't walk to the buffet spread, he made excellent mumbai chai for me on request which was super specific to the recipe I told him to follow especially when he was a native maldivean & had never made it before.

The island itself is amazing to experience & is truly unforgettable.

The Receptionist Sujatha was courteous but due to the quality issues I had faced during the stay , I wanted a compensation. Which took them almost an hour to offer , the offered compesatory villa was old and the restroom in it was stinking even after being cleaned by me & my family members as the housekeeping could remove it after our request.

The floating breakfast was delivered to our old rooms & we had to talk them to delivering it to our water villa from the beach bungalow, after we got our breakfast at 10am buy we ordered it to be deliver at 7am the quantity was not enough for a couple . You can see for yourself the size & content of the tray in my pictures. We were an hour late for our water sports because of this & had lost time in our pre booked activities there.

The only issue I had faced was the Reception staffs lack of approval power & speed to compensate especially for such an expensive island if not one of the most expensive Islands in the country.

I say give the island a stay but be very specific to your needs & keep constant follow ups with the reception staff as they speak well but are not as organized as they may appear at first.
