The island is not big, but cozy. The most important thing is THAT THERE ARE NO CHILDREN HERE!!!! The sand is beautiful, the ocean color is gorgeous, the reef and the sharks are good too. The food... Well, you won't be hungry, but not wow. The bungalow has no TV, and everything else is there, just like everywhere else. Cleaned every day and pretty clean. Wildlife is present - dolphins, sharks, flying foxes, lizards, geckos, herons, gerbils, seagulls, ants ... You need to take an adapter for sockets with you (but they say that they are given at the reception). There is a library at the reception - there are books in Russian too. The staff speaks English or Italian. A chaise longue will be attached to your house on the beach. But it can be moved. It is better to take a bungalow on the beach. It's not so cool on the water.

We rested from October 22 to October 31, 2024, before that we were only at resorts like Turkey/Egypt/Sochi/Crimea. It was just a great vacation for us! Every corner of the hotel looks like a picture from a romantic movie. The rooms are very beautiful, cleaning 2 times a day, take a villa on the water or a water suite, much more privacy, your descent into the ocean, super romantic evenings on the terrace under the starry sky and sharks swimming under you.) Animation, it seems to be there, but it seems not, in the evening all the animation is in Italian, the waiters know 2-3 phrases in Russian and that's it. But it's not necessary there, so tune in to spend time with yourself. The food is the simplest, no frills, but you can always find something for yourself, rice, potatoes, macaroni, chicken, duck, beef, lamb, fish - all this is stewed, fried, boiled almost every day, mix and enjoy as you want. The hotel is Italian, so you can always eat pizza and pasta, they are always there. The chef, you will immediately recognize him, loves Alenka chocolate very much, and in general everyone loves it, they do not have normal sweets. Take no number of tiles with you, they are sincerely happy about these little things and separately hand the tile to the chef, he walks around the hall every dinner and asks the guests if they like everything). Briefly: The feeling of relaxation and relaxation is constant! The views are magnificent! Rooms and service are better than in most hotels in Turkey/Egypt/Of Russia. The food is ordinary, but it does not interfere. Alcohol (AI) - martinis (all kinds) by the river, the wine is only white, but delicious. Vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, something inexpensive from India, alcoholic brands are not poured for free. The ocean is the best! Reef with fish, crabs, sharks, turtles. We've seen everyone! The hotel is new and not tired at all. We recommend it!

An unforgettable magical island!!!! I fell in love!!!! Incredibly beautiful wherever you go! A small cozy island! It is very green and there are no mosquitoes, it was amazing for me, but everything is for tourists, treated with a bang! Entertainment every day, then live music, then dancing, then an aperitif on the beach before dinner and a DJ playing club music, well, just a delight! there are performances in the Amphitheater every day, but since they are in Italian, I did not go, but I watched a couple of times, it was fun. The pool is a separate miracle of the island, the beauty is unreal, there is also a pool bar, but it does not work all day. The main Bar starts serving alcoholic drinks from 12 noon to 12 am. There are excursions to sharks and turtles, we were on sharks, the impression for a lifetime that you swam with sharks! There is a main beach where animators have fun, you can take Subs, Kayaks and swim - it's free, but what with the motor is paid! We rented anything, masks, fins, we even took a goupro and threw everything on our iPhone. The food is incomparable : meat of different types, fish, vegetables, side dish and rice and, as it were, mashed potatoes, and something local, pasta of three kinds, desserts just drop off the heads!!!! Watermelons, bananas, papaya, apples. There is a very large assortment of drinks. From alcohol, Martinis, whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, cocktails are made a million! And there are beaches where there is no one at all and you swim alone and no one touches you, and you sunbathe in silence. Actually, for my first trip to the Maldives, I was just pleasantly shocked by the rest, and met the Russians and hung out all day long!!!! Maldives is my love forever!!!)) aah and most importantly, I was afraid of the weather - the weather was gorgeous all the days, one day it was cloudy and then we managed to burn, and once it rained for 15 minutes at night. Do not believe the forecasts on the Internet did not match even once.

We had a rest together with my wife on October 12-19, 2024. This is our second trip to the Maldives. The rest was selected in advance according to the recommendations of the tour operator, as well as after reading all the few, but very truthful (de facto) and fairly detailed / accurate reviews of Russians who had previously visited the island. I liked everything VERY much. So… General description: the resort is positioned as +12; that's what other vacationers suggested to us when on the second day we noticed the complete absence of children (and teenagers too did not notice). The main age group is 20-40+. Most of the vacationers are Italians, they are the owners of the island. The number of rooms is 63 houses: 36 villas on the water, the rest on land, one "Mega Villa" (2-storey, the only such building on the island, but not located in the best way). The island is small, you can walk around it in just 5-10 minutes. The time difference is +3 hours to Moscow, or +1 hour to Male. The island is an hour away by speedboat from Male Airport, upon arrival for Aeroflot flights they are met at the entrance, and in 10-15 minutes, as soon as all passengers arrive, we will start. The second delivery option is by seaplane, but after calculating the waiting time for the flight at the airport + additional costs for the plane ($ 500 for two), we refused in favor of a boat. If you are lucky with the weather and there will be peace and quiet under the bright sun, it will be a fun walk, with an overview of the atoll islands around, and an hour will fly by unnoticed (this was when we returned). But if the wind drives a wave (it happened when we sailed to the island) here you will find a "bonus" water attraction of bouncing and falling into waves, comparable to a good roller coaster - despite all the confidence of the crew, who, with all these jumps, are not afraid to get out on the bow of the boat, it was felt that not all passengers were convinced that we would stay safe and sound. Thanks for the adrenaline, and goodbye to a few nerve cells. By the way, those who did NOT arrive by Aeroflot (with transfers via the UAE, China, etc.) said that they had to wait up to 3 hours for the boat. This is due to the fact that they are gaining a "full minibus". No one complained about the waiting time for Aeroflot flights from Moscow. And now you have arrived on the island! The view from the pier will immediately make you want to immediately photograph the beauty that opens up in front of you. The exit from the pier goes in the direction of the Reception, where there is traditionally a cool wet towel and a drink of unknown sweet and tasty. NONE of the staff speaks Russian on the island : (as much as you can hear from the animators/bartenders/waiters: "Good morning/Hello" and "Bon appetit". Therefore, we either learn English/Italian, or prepare online translators on smartphones. To get used to it right away, take off your shoes. All islanders walk barefoot: if they are wearing shoes, it is clear that this person has either just arrived or is leaving the island. There is a tray with water in front of each house so that you can rinse your heels before entering the house. Sometimes the wooden bridges at the water villas heat up so that it can be hot, but in general it is very convenient to walk like this. Opposite the reception there is a bar with "all inclusive" - cocktails are usual for a bar, although some are not always called as usual, but the recipe is familiar. Lion draft beer (I don't drink beer, I won't tell you how it tastes - but no one complained) and there's a bottle of Corona with a $5 price tag right there. An important point: we must remember that at 00:00 "the carriage turns into a pumpkin" - i.e. the all inclusive at 00:01 is no longer valid, and although the bar continues to work until 01:00 - you can only take something here for a fee. Next to the bar there is a shared restaurant: 3 meals a day breakfast from 8 to 10, lunch from 13 to 14:30, dinner from 20:30 to 22:00. The cuisine is shockingly Italian: every time there are 3 types of pizza, pasta / delicious real Italian pasta, salads, herbs. Meat (lamb / veal) is required, and, of course, fish. I was surprised by the infrequent presence of cucumbers, but there are always watermelons and pineapples. It is impossible to stay hungry, but this is not a Turkish cornucopia either. At which table you will be seated at the very beginning, so this will be your table until the end of the rest - the waiters remember their customers very well, very friendly, prompt: they bring coffee, tea, beer or wine to the table. If you have a birthday during your vacation, then be prepared that you will be greeted by a decorated table for dinner, and after a while a cake will be brought to you to the sound of drums, and the whole team of animators with waiters will perform "Happy Birthday tu Yu" together. The cake is very tasty ;) There is also a water restaurant next to the water villas (gorgeous view of the water surface!) – breakfast is there from 9:00 to 10:30. Dinner is on reservation (it seems to be paid), but I'm not sure, because we never went there for dinner. We lived in a water villa - in advance, through the tour operator, we were asked to settle us closer to the water restaurant. From 1 to 19, these houses look North, from 20 to 36 to the South = from these, the dawn will be better visible. And even without dawn - a whole panorama right from the bed! The house is huge - one-room + 2 rooms for a closet with a bidet and a shower. There is no TV. Each house has its own router, so the Internet will work more or less everywhere (somewhere by 6-7 points out of 10, watching movies online slows down, calls via messengers, including video, are fine). The most perfect sound insulation. A pair of air conditioners (cooling up to 16) allow you to make even in the hottest bliss in the room with closed doors. A mini-bar with a good selection (including alcohol), but everything is paid (although not expensive). But tea and powdered coffee with milk are free and are updated every day. Sockets are ordinary and local - you can not take adapters specifically, but for some reason it is exactly where the kettle should be in theory – a local outlet that is not suitable for it. It is from the water villas that you will immediately descend to the most "lively" part of the reef around the island. I did not dare to jump from the platform, despite the fact that the depth immediately at the villa is up to 2.5 meters - I was afraid that it was still possible to reach the corals from such a height. There are more than enough fish for every taste and color, including reef sharks and nurse sharks sometimes swim in. The guys who lived in villa 5 said that these sharks generally live permanently under their house, and they also saw turtles at home. So do not forget the masks / tubes / fins - during the day, under the light of the sun, all this beauty is visible especially clearly and clearly. While swimming, you can stumble upon a towel that has flown away, and I even caught a whole umbrella (in a closed state) that somehow got to the very end of the reef before the cliff into the ocean :) If you recommend water villas: as it has already been written in the reviews available for the hotel on the Internet, so I repeat here - ask to check in from 15 to 25. In addition to the fact that it will be further from the hustle and bustle (and some smells from the island - for example, from the generator), in the morning the cleaners will come to you later than 10, because they start to clean from the extreme to the shore (cleaning usually reached us by 12 o'clock). They are cleaned twice a day, always used towels are replaced, and the bed is changed if it is dirty, or every other day (if not, they will level it out, spread it out evenly). They put 2 liter bottles of water, if you use it up earlier, you will either have to take it in glasses from the bar, or ask the Reception to bring more. We, in order to always have enough water, immediately poured a full kettle + kept water in our bottle, so that we would constantly update the stock and not run after it once again to the bar. If you fundamentally want there to be no water under the house, and you need a beach with snow-white sand and a smooth entry into the sea more than depth and corals, I advise you to take rooms 51,52 and 54 = the most magnificent view of both the snow-white empty beach and the stunning sunset (room 53 looks through its doors at a wonderful volumetric a bush hiding it all). As a bonus, these rooms have a swing next to them. Entertainment is like everywhere else in the Maldives: snorkeling with shark turtles-night, fishing, boating – the prices are average. We wanted to take a jet ski to ride around the island (and maybe get to the neighboring ones) – they ride them on Fridays, alas, but we had to sign up either very early, or in the morning - in the afternoon we were already told that there were no places even for 15 minutes :(( Since the jet ski serves not only this island, but and the next one. And for rides, there are only one - they insure you on the second one. Of the public entertainment on earth: a tennis table, table football, and volleyball on the sand. There is a nuance with the latter: a "local" team of hotel employees comes (in blue, with rooms - everything is as it should be), and a team of tourists / animators plays against them. Russian Russians, alas, neither one nor the other particularly want to take to themselves (regardless of gender, age and obvious usefulness), but if you are lucky and the "Russian squad" gathers quantitatively for a full-fledged team, then you can arrange a real game :) There is also darts (I have never seen anyone play it). There is a gym, small, but very good and almost always empty. The bar for dancing and fun is recommended to visit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings: A Maldivian evening (with a performance by local guys with drums), a "White party" on Saturday, a "Red Party" on Sunday. Most of the repertoire is 90-2000 discos. You can "DJ, put on my CD" ;) On weekday evenings, an Italian travel agency holds "presentations" of the hotel for new arrivals at the bar - a rather monotonous and tedious event. Of the fauna on the island: several flying foxes, a couple of brazen herons, medium-sized lizards, the piers are strewn with crabs (they dig holes in the sand of the beaches at night). In summary, I can say: a good budget hotel for a week of relaxation and a desire to stay away from the hustle and bustle, relax spiritually and physically in an environment of beautiful nature, everyday comfort. Especially if the trip to the Maldives is the first or second. Grazio, ragazzi!

We had a rest in July 2024. Four times in the Maldives. The score is 3.5 out of 5. The bungalow on the water is magnificent - spacious, air conditioning, fan, two baths, terrace with sun beds, armchairs and a table, descent into the water. The food is Italian, but surprisingly it was monotonous. You won't stay hungry, but it seemed too easy to us. According to the concept, everything is included from drinks: tea, coffee, white wine, beer, cola, fanta, sprite, packaged juices, a variety of cocktails. There are drinks for a fee. There is not even a paid fresh. Cleaning 2 times a day. Because the hotel is positioned as eco-friendly, change of towels and linen, only if you put it in a certain place and indicate with a card that you need it. There is only liquid soap in the bathroom. Therefore, take everything else with you. The island is small. If you need privacy and relaxation, then this is the right choice. In the evening, a little entertainment in Italian. Water sports, excursions - everything is standard. For us, the main disadvantage of this resort is the lack of a home reef. Yes, you will see sharks, one turtle and a moray eel, a small number of schools of fish. But the reef itself is completely dead, the current is everywhere (Somewhere smaller, Somewhere stronger), so there will be no calm, relaxed snorkeling for 2 hours. You will constantly make efforts not to be blown into the ocean. In fact, more or less, where you can see wildlife in limited numbers - water villas from 20 to 34. Be sure to swim in flippers to make it easier to swim out of the currents. Since there is something to compare it with, this reef is actually no. If it's your first time, you might like it. As a result, if you are not interested in the wildlife of the Indian Ocean, then you can have a great rest at this resort. If you need snorkeling, then choose another one.

It was December 2024-January 2025.Nice organic hotel. Taking into account the year of construction, even during renovation, the furniture looks tired. If you like Italian food, you'll love it here :)) pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a gym. Entrances to the ocean for all tastes. But I recommend grabbing shoes for a more comfortable entry into the water. 95% of the vacationers are Italians. Relatively close to the airport (90 minutes by spitboat).

Have you ever been to a fairy tale? If you come here, you will feel the magic of relaxation supported by customer-oriented staff. A wonderful climate will surround you even out of season, we hid from the rain in the ocean, as it was warmer than outside. And after an hour, the sun may shine again, the main thing is not to forget about the sunscreen, otherwise you will definitely fry. A wonderful restaurant with Italian cuisine, and what kind of tiramisu is there. You'll lick your fingers. The bar, where without it, has both drinks included and paid, although the main problem is that they do not know how to mix cocktails. Recreation is mainly for seals and swimming on the reef, the whole island is 600 meters in circumference, there is a small fitness room, a billiard table, a football table and a volleyball field, where staff and tourists play in the evenings. A cool spa salon, I advise you to go for a massage. To put it mildly, Wi-fi in the hotel sucks and strongly depends on how the network is loaded, while it is paid, so I advise you to test it in comparison with mobile, the price is about the same. Coral sharks come to the shore in the evenings, although once there was a stray one in the afternoon - it's unpleasant. Dolphins swam in once and did somersaults. There are countless fish, although it is better to bring your own mask / glasses, since there are no free ones. In general, a great vacation, I advise you.

We rested at this hotel at the end of October 2023. I really liked the hotel. Small, cozy, which can be walked around in 10 minutes. The food in the hotel is good, there is always a choice. Friendly staff. It took 1 hour to get from the airport to the hotel by boat. I recommend it! Let 's come back again !

An ideal place to read in the sun in silence and dive with a mask to a huge variety of beautiful fish (harmless sharks come across, a turtle and a stingray have been seen). There are flying foxes on the island - they turn out to be very beautiful). The Italian menu and white wine with ice are perfect!

The best vacation of my life. Keep in mind that the restaurant is designed for Italians. Accordingly, the menu in the restaurant pasta, pizza, sandwiches are all like in Italy and half of the menu is local spicy cuisine. The animation is almost all in Italian and a little English.

The perfect place to feel alone. If there is a choice between bungalows on the water and on the island - definitely on the water / believe me it's worth it. The island itself is very small, it takes 5 minutes to go around in a circle. The food is delicious, the cuisine is Italian.
