Had 15 nights here in April & loved it. My first trip to The Maldives after my partner (who had been thrice) nagged me to go & I finally capitulated. Getting there was stressful: flew with Etihad (excellent) to Abu Dhabi (3 hour wait) then to Male (2.5 hour wait) then to Mimiglia Island - 3/4 hour transfer to speedboat... More

This was a truly wonderful holiday! The resort is fantastic, not its not 5 star but it is definitely closer to 4 than 3 star, well worth what you pay. Our accommodation was fantastic, right on the beach....we could not have asked for a nicer view. It was sheer bliss to open our bungalow door every morning and not only... More

My first time in Maldives. I booked online - many options not explained so I ended up taking longer than necessary to check in as the check in person tried to explain to me the difference between Platinum all inclusive, gold, etc. Superior beach bungalows are fine - big enough, comfortable and pretty much private - direct access to beach....
