Honestly, I think the color scheme is the aspect of the room that is doing the most damage. Those shades of pink and blue just look... unappealing... But I don't think anyone is coming here expecting a WA Maldives-level hard product.

Even after the transfer cost is factored in, this is a sub-$400/night Maldives resort on a points redemption. Based on these initial videos, I'm not sure it's actually worth the cash rate though.

I think the deal-breaker for if I personally keep my reservation here vs. add days to another reservation at a different resort will come down to reviews.
