We recently stayed here for a week and loved the owv on the sunset side with a gorgeous lagoon! The sunrise side had a lot of wind on the highly windy days so I'm happy we didn't stay there. The swimming pool and beach are a fun touch. It was our first time on this atoll and we found it very nice and the water was vivid blue. We had fun on the bikes and paddle boards. The Indian Ocean buffet on Fridays is great with almost nothing we had ever tried before but it was all fantastic and the fire dancers on the beach afterwards were fun. Kata, the Japanese restaurant, was our favorite with a unique selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Azure was not as exciting but was good for fish and seafood. The breakfast was often lacking some basics like lettuce, spinach, mangoes, etc... so that was disappointing but then again nothing compares to the St. Regis Maldives breakfast! The interior of the owv leave much to be desired and the bed felt like a sunken futon but we mostly stayed out on the deck enjoying the pool and views. It seems like staff are young and often are confused and bring up issues that should be handled in the back office and not brought to the attention of the guests, at least in our case, but it is a gorgeous location. Not sure if we'll go back since so many properties are opening and they're 1 hour seaplane from Male.
