The Lux is a very nice resort is located on a long island (1.8 kilometer length). Depending on the location of the property (water villa or strandvilla) can reach it therefore the paths already a bit longer. For who wants it, can but also the elektrominiwägelchens carry forward leave, the the island commute. The staff is very friendly, the furnishings the villas on a very high and clean standard (wi-fi, etc.). The kitchen in all restaurants and above all also in the two buffet-style restaurant excellent. With the half-board you can in the restaurants after reservation à-la-carte food. ... The strandvillas there are single and doppelbeachvillas. The doppelbeachvillen are good for families or friends the well understand. Otherwise is urgently disadvice, as these very badly soundproofed are. Our up to the night before our departure only from us occupied. But was in the night not sleep, since the guests only after midnight checked in. A thick minus tourists, those gladly and many snorkelling. There is a lack of a directly accessible house reef! The offers at the water sports center by boat to a 'house reef' drive are unfortunately too poor (once a day). It is a ' massenschnorcheln ' definitely not very nice. For divers is the Lux a very good basis. I have the manta rays and even a whale shark 'be found when diving' can! read more

Information in advance we were for the first time at the Maldives, but already many a time in 5-star resorts.
The island and the hotel are super, the staff generally very pleasant and accommodating, the food tasty and nicely arranged.
We can recommend particularly the italian restaurant. The chef is a very nice indians, the many italian chef in italian cuisine fool can.
We had a prestige water villa. This was very spacious and very nicely furnished, the terrace with access to the water a dream.
Of course there are partly seaweed in the water. At this for the guests ... pleasant to make (the seaweed gather for example, usually dead sea urchins), were wide plan spread, the vegetation to suppress. This fall however not unpleasant, but thus one could everywhere into the water go and the beach is beautiful.
The sometimes mentioned golf carts with two-stroke engines may be in some places to hear. Elektrocarts would certainly better.
All inclusive definitely recommend, since the food otherwise the money can. Is a luxury hotel.
All in all: top. read more

Was with a girlfriend to relax and soak up the sun and we felt amidst the honeymooners, young families and elderly couples visibly comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful (much praise goes to Oliver, Martin, hi and the team), the us from breakfast till to the last cocktail always with a smile the day really made. Small tip: the all-inclusive is worthwhile definitely, because one must the own wine try!
The only thing we have to complain about is, that this time we are not whale shark seen, but this is just yet another reason to stay at ... this hotel again.
Conclusion: uncomplicated luxury with very high comfort factor. read more

The resort Lux was for us rather disappointing.
We were 2004 to honeymoon on soneva fushi and gili lankanfushi, and 2012 with children (3 and 6 years) on anantara kihava.
At of nature the island itself is nothing to complain about. It is very nice, and the staff are all super nice and extremely friendly to the children. The food in all restaurants was excellent, and when you go all-inclusive you are spoilt all around, to the ice cream bar and even toasted coffee in the cafe Lux.
Particularly to mention we would like the staff the senses bar and ... the senses restaurant, they were still a little bit kinder there, and managed, an extremely relaxed, pleasant ambience to create. And the children were the princesses there!
Also positively mentioned should be the villas when it rains, one hears of which very little inside, the we have stayed in the other hotel clearly experienced louder. And this vacation it rained a lot unfortunately. For the summer months there is certainly very convenient, as you otherwise from the noisy sound again and again will probably be woken up. Otherwise the villas right close together, but that is not so extreme, it very disturbing. Is on the direct neighbours, and the vegetation, the one between the villas has, that is once more or less.
The island is huge, and you have the feeling, that those responsible may therefore lose the plot. And there is no attention to detail!
The furnishing is partly apart and is carelessly. Again and again you have a handle or something else in the hand, which dropped was. On the toilet of the Iceland kitchen restaurant there was a really unsightly wall, at the the water runterlief, us already mold had formed. The water in the sink that did not at all from!
At the feet of the sand to clean there is no romantic vats with ladles in front of the villa, but unsightly old taps, of which we also immediately the first volume half had in their hand. In addition one had but just again sandy feet before you in the villa was, because the taps simply inconvenient were appropriate, and, of course, also not too move. Perhaps it would be useful, here still additionally vats on the stairs up to the villa
In the sea at the beach drenched days before the bar trash, the nobody away. Not only before the Island Bar, where large stones, and then all the crabs in the evening on the garbage sit, but also before the senses bar, where you could actually also into the water go can. It is really much staff on the way, the daily the beach and the island cleans of garbage, seaweed and coral! The naturally also not everywhere. But why can't someone from the staff at the bar quickly the few bottles collect? The weather while we were there so impetuous, that was already very much trash washed ashore, but then one must on those days also just more to 8., and plate!
It is however also disappointing to see, how much trash our sea now dirty! Since you can get a really bad conscience.
To the beach where the staff lives is anyway nearly nothing, and the beach looks accordingly from. However the size of the island loads of course a tour a, and then it was quite unsightly occasionally, and it remains a bitter aftertaste, if you stay to the well-kept is.
It should simply each morning someone act responsibly to check, whether all 'hot spots', where lots of guests are, perfect appearance.
We have already surprised, why you never one of the managers at the from the reception further away points seen. Not on the day, and not in the evening in the restaurants. Of the other islands we already knew, that daily one of the responsible a round has made, and direct with the guests spoken. So one has but also a much better feedback, and can anger or discontent right intercept. Here we have the gm only with the try a new waterfun -sport seen.
The daybeds at the beach were partly not at all prepared, so no mattress on it and the canopy not appropriate, and were thus the whole day just as unloving 'shell' around. Also on days, where the weather it definitely allowed.
Of course, there is in the middle the island also a great area, in the the waiters lives. There is also everyday something burned, i don't know, the garbage the island is, but if so, somewhere, it must also! A reason as much as possible its garbage again to house to take, and shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. First not at all also to take. It gives all in excellent quality in the room. But in the well as all guest rooms you can tell from the burn nothing at all!
Unfortunately, there are such a contraption, that daily before the infinity pool in the lagoon for a few hours in the morning, travels. I don't know, whether a dredger is, or 'lawnmower', the sehgras there abmäht, or whatever, but it is very nice loud and ugly! But clearly, if you didn't want to see is just on the other pool, or to a other part the island, it is large enough! But he cannot be wegreden, prefer gm! Especially, if you are in a villa directly at this section of the beach are.
The buggies, the a on the island from one end to the other bring, are much too few. If you with small children here is, you're dependent on them, and is sometimes unpleasant long, which somehow annoying, and the bus home is. If you like sometimes runs on vacation, to ensure not a problem, and makes a pleasant stroll at the beach. But a sleeping child you just can not eternally far over the beach or the island wear. Really chaotic the situation with the buggies as it rained for dinner, and really every buggy wanted.
Otherwise, you had the buggies in our villa didn't hear or smell, but that was because, that the buggies not directly at our villa past are, but from the villa238 a bow to Iceland restaurant make. Otherwise i can the already disturbing imagine.
On easter a really nice evening with a meal at the beach gave, has someone during the meal with amplifier so loud guitar playing and singing, the we not times at the table converse could. We felt as if in a Riu on Mallorca. We personally find a gentle chill out music in the hintgrund to eat stylish.
This live music there was on other nights in different bars, and we found it terrible. But that is naturally matter of taste!
As extremely unpleasant we found also the atmosphere by the pool, where the english and german already early in the morning with magazines and ramekins' their ' reserved beach chairs, as well as in a cheap mallorcahotel. When we then simply times two chairs have, and hats to to set aside, came shortly after a german peasant from the breakfast restaurant who fired at him, and gave us on the sworn abused, and also threatened, that here a bad sequel could, and we today not finished yet are together, etc. This is not the luxury unique atmosphere, and not the audience, we from the Maldives, and the other hotels are used to.
Unfortunately there are also not enough beach chairs, and they are as well as the umbrellas were partly broken and unappealing.
Us it was also to many british people on the island. Individually they were all very pleasant, but somehow apply the always in crowds on, and were rather loud and uncomfortable. Somehow the 'italian of the north'.
Whoever likes snorkeling is not in good hands. There is daily a trip to the distant reef, but the must be a long hand planned, and one must watch, that you on time (at least 20 minutes before the deadline set off) a buggy get, otherwise one gets also still annoyance at the water sports center, that you too late!
The atmosphere destroyed has unfortunately also, that the Lux management obviously on larger groups. During our stay there was in the 1. week a huge group with french chriurgen, apparently an organised congress or a training. For this one has then whole restaurants and bars in the evening occupied, so we were told there is no more table when we for dinner came, and we were again sent out has, because it supposedly in the next hour also no other tables would give, though the restaurant east one which has acted, you have actually didn't have to reserve them. And then with the hungry kids back to the front desk walk, on a buggy waiting, and in the other restaurant run, for which one no reservation needed, it can nevertheless now really not be! After we us first at the front desk have complained about, and you from there conversation, and then said, we can back again, there is of course a table for us, knew then as we again arrived no one, and we had to us another time with someone quibble. There were also other families, the were very displeased, and also not accepted, why she now't eat there may. After much upset and angry, and remarks as' if i chair have, could i sit somewhere ', we then got a table created. But the trouble is just terribly long to. Want/need you on vacation?
Another times we wanted to stay in the senses bar at 18 o'clock a nice drink at sunset take, before we in the senses next door a reservation at 19 o'clock to eat had. Unfortunately was the complete senses bar set for the farewell meal the group there, and the bartender were only with much much persuasion a drink mixed, the then also liked, as just quickly!
If you with the children a buggy got, to one place, where you the whole evening nice to spend want, then you at 18 o'clock not again just returned to another bar on the island around something to drink, then again at 19 o'clock back to this restaurant again.
Dear gm from Lux, if i as a large group assume, then i must also ensure, not with my other guests' clash ' and you own spaces create! That simply must not happen, that you have to spaces for other guests locks!
And the mosquito means do not forget (we needed in the other hotels never, and it had this time unfortunately not %blank%.)! Despite nightly 'fog' we are all nasty bites have been! This was probably also because of the fact, that the housekeeping every evening the door open has, and of course the light inside at was, around the bed shipping. I understand the probable idea behind it, that the housekeeping had nothing to hide, and so under constant 'monitoring' is, but i trust the staff, and there is also a safety deposit box in the room. I would have rather no mosquitoes had. read more

A very relaxing vacation. The food is good and delicious. Repeated weekly but what we found was a good thing, because you try everything could al la carte also super delicious. Noise from the seaplane to the lagoon annoying sometimes, but you on the island. Real Maldives feeling had we not, since the island very big is. For romantics like us.
We had a water villa fantastically calmly. Very friendly staff ( thanks to Ricarda and mr. Fashion).
All-inclusive at the Maldives i as there not yet had. Really all and great.
If you don't like it must stop the ... normal maldivian prices to pay. On the day already times gladly 500 $his. We will come with our children again. read more

Since it is a larger island (length 1.8 kilometer) does the otherwise so romantic unique island flair in (we are after baros, Lily Beach and Moofushi already the 4. time on the Maldives) unfortunately no that completely arise. For romantics and couples, who simply the peace and quiet to enjoy want, is the island not convenient, because of the gulf Cars, the because of the sometimes very long distances are required, and the number of people (many loud and annoying chinese and children) the noise level was very loud. Also the seaplanes are very often to hear.
The furnishing ... is clean and beautiful, however the bathroom and the toilet in our opinion a little more attention to be highly unsatisfactory.
I would say, on the whole island existing rattan furniture was nice to look at, but very worn out and saggy are. So also the loungers on the terrace our water bungalows. Since also no cushions are available, is the are not very pleasant.
All inclusive is definitely recommendable, there the prices otherwise in enormous. Side is however, that booking all inclusive not the same maps (at the bar or in the restaurants) get, as the guests, the no booked all inclusive have. The offer for the all inclusive guests is much reduced, what annoyed us, because it is not more all inclusive. read more

At night in bed cockroaches, apart from that relatively clean.
Beach is a catastrophe, plenty of korallenreste and debris ( tiles and glass)
On sunset beach very strong seaweed arise, a kind of baggerschiff drove at the beach this was noisy and smelled of diesel!
Food in the restaurants was good, tasty and nicely decorated. Service in the restaurants top.
Front desk and staff a catastrophe whilst dealing with problems!

8-time on the Maldives always other islands, we were this time very dissapointed! More like a 4-star plus this hotel not worth it in the comparison with other 5* islands.
80% the beach only with bathing shoes to enter, seaweed in large amounts of the at the beach buried, and then large korallenreste spread. At low tide are old debris-leftovers, partly with glass clear. Stinky and loud benzinautos drive the whole day guests on the island around with clouds of dust! A dredger goes along the beach and digs the fairway from.
Problems with the key card (2 times) after ... long tel. And about 1.5 hour wait in front of the house solved.
Bungalow very big and nice, staff in the restaurant-area great, good food and choice was large enough, but repetitive after a week. All inclusive is a must besides that too expensive!
Who dream beach and relaxation searches is on this island wrong, the island was never peace ( noise level is always available) and the villas is possible to close next to each other! read more

We are for christmas/new year's eve 2012/13 our two daughters 9+7 years on Lux been. It was a wonderful relaxing and really great vacation for each of us. The arrival was long, but thanks to direct flight fra- mle bearable. Very good was that Lux lounge on wasserflughafen has in which you during the waiting time can hang out. There is snacks and drinks and you can freshen up. The pick-up after the long flight was directly from Lux staff and it has a the feeling mediated, very good pampered to be. After entering male, we had to us even ... at our luggage take care of it. The transfer by seaplane was a highlight. We were very warm on the island welcome (from several staff and the hotel boss). Rachel us the island explained and us in our bungalow brought. It was the whole time of vacation a very good, competent and helpful contact person.
Our bungalow (204) was for 4 people big enough. We were aware that we are all in the area to sleep. The bathroom was above half open and very big (two showers and a large bath tub).
In the room are two washbasin appropriate. The terrace is large and covered. There was a chair and a table with two chairs. Our request for two other chairs was immediately met. For of the terrace are four loungers with cushions. As protection from the sun offers the 'natural sheet roof' of the trees and shrubs at (are on the island abundant). We stayed in the decoration of the bungalows nichgts missed. There is a good hair dryer, a safe, a desk and a mini bar.
The island is relatively long, but narrow. Depending on where you have your bungalow has, or in which restaurant you want to go, you have a bit hike before itself. It's not really far, but can still drag if it was warm or if you just where to want to. This small 'problem' they have great solution. There are elektrocarts (6 or 8 seater) the commute as a bus. One goes simply the way along and if you want to get in a car a. The driver stopped then at the desired place. I found this very convenient and the children had a lot of fun for everyone.
The food is wonderful delicious and diverse. There are always lots of possibilities (fish and meat and vegetarian). We had booked all inclusive. There were theme evenings in the unterschiedelichen restaurants. Al la carte restaurants you have to reserve - but never a problem to get a table. Also our kids has the food good. Especially the department 'dessert and desserts'!
The service on the whole island is very good and the employees are all very helpful, friendly and nice. We did not even something else experienced.
Our room service was great. Reliable was our room always great clean and evenings the bed, when the food came, turned down and often very nice decorated.
The two galas on christmas and new year's eve were great. The staff has itself always very much trouble in the decoration and given. It were many positive details to matching, good concept combined.
For children there are das'play'. This is a club where the children in a separate play area supervised and entertained, be. Our kids have the not so often used, because we in the water were. But it was with great pleasure and a lot of other children taken into account. The service was good and varied.
My recommendation: in any case all inclusive bays, the prices are otherwise quite high. With us it has for certain worth it. Not too many shoes, since one anyway usually without traveling (also in the restaurants). Positively i would like to also the diving basis and wassersportbereich mention. They tried very hard their guests to make you happy. Particularly beautiful was our walhaisafari, at which we with two whale sharks snorkeling are.
Thank you very much the whole Lux team for a wonderful vacation. I think we will see again! read more

We are now for the 2. time on the island. The last time it was diva-it is now Lux* and the changes are positive effect but it has always been of a high standard was. We were in the island romantic because everything is simply right as we a dream holiday imagine. That Maldives from of nature richly endowed are you need not describe further. We love the mix of luxury and then but not exaggerated luxury. On Lux* you can make you feel right at home. The service is discreet and efficient. The kitchen is excellent and very varied ... - exceeds mostly the usual european tourismusstandard. With the all inclusive concept is one of the best served if you like a comfortable and diverse food, as well as the meals as it is right itself enjoys with aperitif, wine and digestive and of course still cosy hours at one of the bars to spend, the room service is good-even sensational.
All of the staff are mega friendly. This already started at the airport at times the great lounge to the return flight with the water airplane if the staff a adopt. Once again we had a prestige water villa-sensational - huge bathroom, great view, very clean (anyway) great terrace where one morning be wonderful breakfast. Really great diving center, with an equally great 5 star service. The spa area is also only recommendable.
Really recommendable is on Lux* an event to organize for example the anniversary of a wedding. Super lovely service until in the smallest detail organized for us it was unforgettable.
The new Lux* concept is very attractive and corresponds to the today's lifestyle. We have already seen other islands i-but here to Lux* Maldives we come gladly anytime again! Island with wiederholungsfaktor! read more

For Maldives a huge island.
The complex is already somewhat older, what you many places can tell.
Some things have already been replaced. (furniture, cushions and so on.) But it was still lots to do.
Many seemed a bit lifelessly: we know that from other Maldives-holidays not.
The beach is not very clean. Many corals and seaweed. (partly plastic).
The employees try the seaweed to be. But partly in vain.

We have a beachpool villa (nr 338) booked inclusive booked half board. It is our honeymoon.
I can really only warmest one of the few pool villas recommend. Nothing is better than waking up and own pool to jump and in the evening with a glass of wine to sit in.
The beachpool villas are located on the sunset side about in the middle the really long island, which from there everything was comfortable and quickly reached.
The view is in the evening breathtakingly beautiful.
Several times daily the villa cleaned and the really perfect.
On the island everything is ... constantly clean and instant held, but definitely not pushy looks.
The employees are all always friendly and always up for a joke.
2 small negatives i have:
1. very much german guests one is apparently not set. In fact, for bad weather a dvd player in the room. The matching dvd in german if you but to no avail.
2. there is a dress code for the dinner etc. This is also distributed. However, the asian guests apparently not read. And the staff are just so friendly and can this go through.
We felt it already disturbed, if you are in the best restaurant the island a Hummer-food and next door sit asian guests in swim shorts and flip flops read more
