Loved the MO last time, but it’s a lot pricier than these two for the dates we’re looking at. We don’t really mind The Lana not having beach access as long as there’s enough space at the rooftop pool. We usually do prefer hotels with beach access/a sea view, but as we’ll have just spent two weeks in the Maldives I think a city view might be nice. The rooms also seem more modern at The Lana, but the FS also looks nice, and has bigger pools and of course a beach. I did hear there’s construction for the new Aman and Rosewood going on there though… What would you advise? Really open to both still. Thanks!
