Having coped with natural laziness and lack of time, I am writing this review - it means I was hooked. I will not describe the beauty of the island and the ocean - this site is intended to evaluate the hotel, and we will start with it.
So, firstly, the number of rooms: very old, inexpressive and shabby houses with the same furniture. Noisy air conditioning, directed directly at the bed, can only be turned on when there are no visitors in the room, otherwise you cannot do without a visit to an expensive doctor. The same applies to the fan hanging over the bed - there is little benefit from it during the day, and spending the whole night under noisy airflow will not add health. Given the climatic features of the Maldives (high humidity and heat that does not subside even at night), this is a serious problem. The main drawback of the room is soundproofing, or rather the lack of it in principle. Not only is the partition between the rooms of the house made of cardboard, but it also does not reach the end of the ceiling! Thus, your vacation becomes joint with your neighbors in the truest sense of the word, everything is heard: you sleep together, take a shower, go to the toilet. No, not exactly: sleep if you are lucky with your neighbors and they also prefer to relax at night, rather than squealing, drinking and hanging out in a room with a group of friends.
Secondly, in my opinion, resettlement plays an important role in this hotel. We were assigned to a house near the notorious dam, which means that you do not have direct access to the ocean, the sound of the surf and any vegetation that provides such a necessary shade. As a result, in order to swim in the ocean, you must either go to another beach near the neighboring houses, or jump onto the dam near your own, and finish the water procedures in the same way. Yes, and the room without a shadow is very hot for the whole day. All our requests to change the number ended with a promising "tumor", as a result, they changed it three days before departure, settled near the pier with arriving planes, but we were even happy about this.
And, finally, the third minus, which does not add a romantic mood to tourists, is the noise of arriving seaplanes, technological noise (generator, sawmill, something else), since there is a technological block in the middle of the island that ensures its vital activity. Thus, people who are counting on a romantic secluded vacation on a quiet island in an endless ocean will have to say goodbye to this illusion (and do not forget about roommates! ).
As for nutrition, we have already written about its features, so the following definition will be concise: you will not stay hungry, but nothing more. The all inclusive package includes a minimum set of food and alcoholic beverages, seafood and bottled drinks - for a separate space fee, and don't forget about taxes. There were no "divorces". On the night of January 7, a Christmas dinner for Russians was arranged on the ocean shore with an entrance fee of $50 per person (with taxes - $60) for a special menu and a separate price list for seafood and spirits. As a result, the menu on the beach and in the general restaurant turned out to be almost identical! The New Year's Gala Dinner was also not impressive, despite its decent price, champagne was offered at a very large price (the minimum cost is $ 60 for a bottle of 6 euros of Spanish sparkling wine), besides, at 23-00 everything was curtailed, the products were removed , and all alcoholic drinks on the island after 24-00 become paid.
The disadvantages are nevertheless compensated by local beauties, nature and the ocean. The conclusion is this: I want to come to the Maldives, but never to this hotel. If you still made your choice, it remains to wish you luck with resettlement and neighbors. Good luck!
