The service level here is at the top range. I really appreciate the friendliness and the smiles of all staff on the island. And the arrangements of welcoming, response to any requests, etc. are all perfect. I never tried a stay with 2 house keeping per day which is really new to me.
Really appreciated.

I stayed in a water house for three nights. I have been to many beaches, so I think it is more rare to stay in a sand house than a water house.
As the name suggests, the water house is on the water. The room is very spacious and the flow is very reasonable. The balcony, bathroom and room are interconnected, which makes it convenient to go directly into the water from the balcony and then go to the bathroom to wash. There are really two cleanings every day. The bathroom can also open the French window to see underwater. Of course, you can also open the balcony door and lie in the room to see the lagoon.

The room is more than enough for two people, especially the bathroom, which is very bright and spacious, with a reasonable layout so you can take a shower and soak up the sunshine. Open the terrace door and sit on the sofa in the room to see the beautiful sea view. You can snorkel by going down the steps from the terrace. The water is clear. There is a piece of coral under Room 136. There are colorful fish in it. It is also common to encounter sharks. The Maldivian people are kind and friendly, and are very service-minded. The best experience is that they use their actions to encourage everyone to explore the unknown world of the sea. In particular, our butler Fathih arranged our activities clearly. Every activity is clearly priced. Although water activities are expensive, they are definitely worth it! The best thing is that you can explore another island while staying here.

The hotel is great. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Male by speedboat! The receptionist, ********* Xiao Yang, made all the arrangements. I give a big thumbs up to the little girl!

A very beautiful resort, both from the friendly staff and the delicious and varied food in the buffet. The Japanese restaurant was very delicious. I enjoyed this trip and I will visit this beautiful resort again. I advise everyone who wants to visit the Maldives to stay at this beautiful resort. Thanks to Sister Vaz, she was helpful. She is very helpful and whenever I call her she meets all my needs and I would like to thank Antara team ❤️ Latifa ..

Following a week-long vacation trip to Dubai, the staff at Anantara Resort in the Maldives provided some much-needed relaxation. Although the weather was not ideal during our stay, our host, Jennifer, ensured that our every need was met and arranged transportation to the resort's numerous restaurants. We intend to return to the resort in the near future and look forward to seeing our host again.

Firstly the staff were outstanding in all departments from housekeeping to all the resturants. No request was too much trouble and staff were also great at coming forward and providing us with different options. The upkeep of the resort was at a very high level and with the humidity I sure they face many challanges but keep up the excellent work including the cleansiness. A shout out to mention a few members of the team Noah / Monette (Digu) / Chef Sagar / Ei / Bokey / Ziyan / Mimi / Ibrahim to mention a few but there are many more which unfortunatly I forgot their names. From walking through to the airport termina and being greeted by team members to arrving to our water villa was 1st class! Housekeeping's attention to detail was great and felt like we were returing to the villa for the first time on each occasion. The breakfast was the best part of the day as this set the tone for the day ahead. The entire team after the first day noted our likes and dislikes regading our choice of food items. If you are looking for a truly relaxing atmosphere accompanied with 1st class service then this is the place to be!

From start to finish we had the best time. So relaxing with insane food and ambiance. Excellent staff throughout the resort. Our villa host Fathi made sure we were well looked after, he organised a birthday cake, champagne and bubble bath for the last night of stay in our upgraded overwater villa. Organised our dinners and activities over the 6 night we were there. Planning our next visit before we even left the resort.
Response from Property: Dear harryfR9941DX, Thank you so much for your wonderful words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience and that Fathi helped make it extra special. From the personalized touches to the beautiful ambiance, it sounds like your stay was everything we hope to provide. We can’t wait to welcome you back to paradise!
