HING ON
May 25, 2025
This is the first time for a family of four to come to Maldives. This hotel is reasonably priced, and the service, facilities, food, etc. all meet our expectations. Moreover, if you stay for 4 nights or more, you will get a free seaplane for one person, and if you stay for 7 days or more, you will get a free seaplane for two people, which is really a good deal. I went there during the off-season because I didn't want to be crowded. Basically, everything went smoothly and perfectly.
I chose an Ocean View room for my wife and I, and a Water View room for our two kids. Ocean View is basically an endless sea, but there are not many corals and fish in the sea below the house here. It is better to go snorkeling at Sea View to see more corals and fish. We went snorkeling for several days, and we didn't see any sharks or manta rays during the snorkeling trip that the hotel included. I only saw sharks and manta rays at the seaside pier at night. It was a pity that I didn't have close contact with them. But buying a dusk dolphin watching ticket was even more exciting. In addition to seeing dolphins, we also saw the rarer cruising whales. We were definitely lucky.
For food, we bought an all-inclusive package. There was endless white wine, red wine, beer and soft drinks in the room. One restaurant had a breakfast buffet, three restaurants provided lunch/afternoon tea, and there were 7 different dinner restaurants. However, dinner reservations must be made in advance (you can download the hotel app before arrival and use the reservation code to reserve a restaurant), otherwise it will be difficult to reserve a desired restaurant and time.
In summary, it is an absolutely worthwhile and fulfilling journey, and it is worth recommending. Of course, knowing more, making plans and arranging time before going will make your trip more fulfilling.
It is worth mentioning that our butler Jeremy is from Chaoshan. The Chinese butler specially arranged by the hotel is very considerate, capable and helpful. They had informed our hotel in Male of our seaplane time one day in advance, so we knew how to arrange it when we arrived in Male.
However, what is worth improving is that hotels should not use soap to wash hands but should use hand sanitizer instead which is more environmentally friendly. It is best to wash your feet outside the door to remove the sand on your feet.
