Stayed here for 5 nights last week and have to stay that this resort is the best resort within Marriott that has great beach villas.

There are 2 types of beach villas, the regular one which is located on the sunrise side of the island, and 3 on the sunset, and there are around 10 Duplex beach villas which are located on the sunset side.

We stayed in Villa no. 121 which is in the center of the beach and have to say it's the best one of the lot along with 120 and 122. The beach is just magnificent. After travelling 8 times to the Maldives, I can't recall staying at the beach for so much.

The villa itself is OK. Spacious with huge amount of closets, but the design is a little outdated. However, the deck with pool was great.

The island itself is great, we were not aware that kids under 12 eat for free so that was a plus for us. Restaurants are amazing, the Thai restaurant was wonderful, they brought a new Thai chef and she is one of the best. Her food is just great. They now open on Monday's only for dinner with a set menu. We also tried RIHA which is an Indian set menu and the food was fantastic there as well. The other dining options were SHIO and Hashi with one being a steakhouse and the other being a Japanese restaurant but share the same location. We only dined at Hashi and where it was good, but there are far better.

Their main restaurant is good with a live band every night, but have to stay the crowd was a little dead at times. the place is very much empty at around 9:30 pm.

All in all, will be returning back.
