We stayed here 10 years ago to the month with 2 very young boys, so were looking forward to re-visiting now the family had grown up since then. We loved it then and we loved it even more 2nd time around. The island is still as beautiful only they have proper sunbeds now and provide beach towels, a suggestion we recommended they adopt 10 years ago in a previous review. Sure, the rooms are still quite basic and simple and probably in need of a makeover but they still provide what you need on a budget Maldivian island, a decent bed, small balcony, clean sheets, A/C, kettle and fridge, safe and a bathroom with a shower. Its all price relevant anyway and I think the island offers incredible value for money. We stayed over Christmas and New Year and took 2 rooms as before. Have to say, the hospitality and buffets were out of this world. Food choices were really plentiful and well thought out, too much choice if anything! The kitchen team really know what they are doing here and you wont go hungry on any meal as there is simply too much to choose from. Shout out to all the staff who were incredibly helpful and friendly and Karthick our waiter who was a lovely Indian guy from Pondicherry. The house reefs were amazing where we saw Eagle rays, black tip and white tip sharks, and giant trevally daily on tap. Saw a huge spiny lobter and Octopus too. All in all, a great trip, fabulous island and wonderful Christmas and New Year. Will be back again.
