Wow, what a hotel! We departed from the island last Tuesday, and what a memorable stay we had…I’m still floating on air! Firstly, I must mention the outstanding service here. Alessandra was our dedicated butler, and her service was truly flawless. Nothing was too much trouble, and she truly made our journey unforgettable. We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary with the family here and honestly, it was the perfect holiday. All the staff are exceptionally attentive (special thanks to the pool bar staff and the gentleman at the sky bar) - incredibly friendly, always offering refills, and some staff even crafted palm leaf art for our daughter, which was a delightful touch. The resort boasts numerous fantastic features, including several restaurants and bars, a gym, spa, kids club, etc. The complimentary face scan at the spa was extremely informative, revealing your skin age and signs of UV damage or sensitivity. Another lovely section of the resort is the Maldivian village, providing insights into Maldivian culture and history. We were lucky to stay in both a beach villa at the start of the trip and also an ocean villa. Both accommodations were decorated to a high standard with a mini bar replenished daily and a selection of chocolates and nuts. The food and drink here are top-notch. Our favorite restaurant was Ralu, an Italian-style eatery over the water, but reservations are necessary. The buffet offers a wide range of dishes, from authentic curries to exotic fruits—you'll never go hungry! Other restaurants focus on seafood, Japanese, and a blend of Maldivian/Sri Lankan cuisine. Snorkeling gear is available for free hire, with plenty of sea life near the dive center, and there’s an opportunity to go on a daytime dolphin cruise or a sunset cruise, based on your stay’s length. Heritance Aarah, thank you once again for an incredible vacation! This was our first visit to the Maldives, but certainly not our last! P.S. Definitely opt for the seaplane to the resort instead of the flight and speedboat option…the seaplane is an amazing experience all its own :)
