and btw out of all the islands ive been to none have had so much exposed rock as highlighted in the image below so not sure why the "nice try". perhaps vakkaru had some exposed rock on the southern side but most other islands have had sweeping beaches, albeit some with slightly coarser sand than others.

The "nice try" was for critiquing a place you havent been because of pictures and "rocks". Hadahaa is damn near perfect. You realize those rocks are in the water, right? Had no problem with beach access when I was there. You can walk a good portion of the island without issue.
PH is one of the more eco-friendly resorts in the Maldives, and the less they do, the better.
You're suggesting they destroy the quality of the beach for what... more instagrammability? Easier ability to get your workout routine in?
I do apologize for the defensiveness on my part.
