We had bungalow Nr. 169 with big pool in the garden, we are very much used. Unfortunately, our room boy, despite tip, a absolute Minimalist! Several times, we had to him ' ermuntern'den pot with water for the feet not only to clean, but also replenish! From the 2 week I did this however itself! Our 7-year-old daughter loved the kids club by Tini excellent run. For us it was a wonderful vacation we seer have enjoy. read more

Very nice relaxing Maldives island. For swimmers and snorkelers do not so suitable, since access to reef only with ship reachable. But that is just the only possible point of criticism. Anytime again! read more

Unfortunately, our expectations not fulfilled down, because the management is now overall kinetic experience to customers set, which twice in a karaoke evening in the only bar showed, where only Chinese title were played and thus all other guests were excluded. It was also twice in the bar with canvas screen and noise entsprechder a movie shown, which on the second evening only the employees persecuted, because no one else was interested, respectively from above reasons in the room there peace to be able to have a drink. Pity to consider when all inclusive events (for us after the first ... x 10 other Islands before) to our offer was coffee and tea not mentioned by. At CT then, but only two types of coffee and tea. A mint tea would we have to pay separately, on this Arrgangement very surprised. Ice tea for example include the soft drinks. if you like at the nearby reef snorkeling can do so only with a shuttle boat or with the free offered Snorkel excursions, so no spontaneous activity possible we must say, that it is 6 years better Dinst services had. read more

The very well maintained and with lots of palm trees overgrown barefoot island is in 15 minutes is surrounded. The maldivian ambience is everywhere to feel and the beach bungalows are ideal under the palm trees hidden. The resort is again and again renovated and is a value for money. The staff is always friendly, helpful and has a smile ready. The booked half board was absolutely sufficient, delicious fresh and diverse. The guests were too many couple, international structure a high chinese share. Every day there were weddings, since the island with honeymooner is very popular. read more

    We had booked a beachfront villa with jacuzzi (number 109) was unfortunately a little cramped (and noisy, therefore are we then to the other island side moved), but clean and equipped with all necessary. One gets even flip flop's (although's a pure barefoot island is) and a beautiful bathrobe is also available. Shower gel, shampoo & co one can confidently at home leave. We had a small private pool and it was really cool. There was no mosquitos (after rain not), we had not a single stitch, although we some night outside slept in! The management it pays attention to it, that the bungalows again and again renovated. It was our nothing to fault.

    The food and the service is simply only fantastic! We had the half board and us every day on the breakfast and dinner in buffet form looking forward to it. It was very diverse, fresh and attractively decorated. Especially want to praise the restaurant manager dayan with his team. You have again and again with a especially delicious local food surprised and spoiled. From 2. evening was our bar and restaurant areas were very pleasant evenings always reserved for us and the preferred wine has already waited for us. Definitely not you should the homemade ice or sorbet to be missed... The bar is open every day for sunset an interesting happy hour, the well visited. The atmosphere was a great paradise feeling, no hecticness - even the staff had time for a chat with the guests. It has every about a tip and praise looking forward to it, but it was not required. The drinks prices were adequate, but not covered!

    The staff are always in a good mood with a friendly greeting on the way. English is the main language (after divehi \u263a and afterwards is chinese. The rooms are twice a day cleaned and everything necessary filled up. The towel service is super. Every evening the bed with kind details decorated and special wishes immediately taken care of. Twice a day we had 2 bottles of drinking water received. But we want to daraufhinweisen, that the water bungalows did not (was simply too much of all) and we the first days on the side of the anladestegs used. It is loud, bungalows from number 127 are much quiet and one didn't have the wasserbungalowdorf before the nose. The front desk our complaint and us to a quieter spot insure.

    There was a good water sports offer (even kitesurfing was possible). Unfortunately the snorkeling only by dhoni (twice a day) and then partly with a lot of current - is however also interesting. There is virtually no nearby reef, only a outer reef. The corals are unfortunately not so good anymore, but there is lots of interesting fish, turtles, sharks, stingrays and much more if you the island circumnavigated, is small sharks, moray eels and stingrays from the beach observe. The island with flying dogs, rabbits and parrots populated. The beach is cleaned and there are enough chairs and protection from the sun. We had a pool villa, the swimming pool water was osmosequalität (without chlorine) just amazing! The internet is free and worked well (partly a bit slow ) is however reliable.

    The 45 one-minute speeches transfer by seaplane is a wonderful experience and super organized. Please note: the entire luggage including hand baggage is weighed, there are 25 kilogram/per person freely (in case it:2 us, -$ / kg for there and back). There is a small store on velavaru for forgotten details. There are various organized excursions offered, but they are quite expensive. The beach is\partially freinsandig korallenweiß and then again with small korallenstückchen paths. The on the island ownership meeresbiologische station returns lots of interesting details and organized for example the evening stingray feeding or on the protection of the turtles and sharks.

Not cheap, but if you have the right water Villa (Villa 363 with two Schlafzummern the best, because not visible or a villa with a view of the sea and not to) a fantastic relaxing holiday. The restaurant has star quality and azurro the staff tried to meet your every need, is very attentive and professional. The color and decor of the rooms is Asian and the guests were Asian 85%, but what I see positive, since very friendly and unobtrusive. Island taxi 30 minutes to the main island and all the beach. Silence beach experience and with the best ... cuisine paired, what more could you ask for. The manager Serge from Switzerland and the whole team are very friendly and individual suggestions and try every day, the hotel better. Large compliment in this place. The reef, which has a staircase with access buoy is not selected and about five minutes swimming away, which was quite good and are looking for different sizes of fish are concerned. Note very good for snorkelers, do not want to be rushed in crowds, but a great reef nearby want right in front of the door. read more

We had the premium InOcean villa. The atmosphere and the furnishings were above average. The location is an absolute dream. Took some getting used to the Chinese, the only for a day and take photos, as it can be a small Asian underwear hanging in the table and a flash light to make you afterwards :-) Snorkelling, food, drink and relax from the finest.

It is a gorgeous island, which fullfilles every your wish. As the hotellocation is kept in maledivian style, it is unique. From the first sight one feels himself in the paradise. One can get rid of all the stress very quickly, as there are no disturbing effects over there. It is absolutely silence, which is very genial. Our Tina, the travel agent of TUI on this island, is unparalleledly cool. She is busy all day long in order to make all the guests to feel happy and thereby she is always friendly and super kind.

    The island is situated very close to the equator and it is perfect in terms of climate. Almost all the bungalows are situated on the beach over there, it's only a couple of steps till the sea. The water is unique, clear and warm and has an impressive color, - clear like turkish light blue crystal!!
