After wanting to visit the Maldives for 8 years we finally made it there in the middle of November, and I have to say we weren't disappointed. We travelled on BA's new direct service which saved all the hassle of changing flights like you have to with Qatar and Emirates. On arrival at Male we were met by a hotel... more

This place is amazing. This is our third time in the Maldives, and definitely the best resort for us. The island is a bit bigger than most Maldivian resorts, which makes for more of a varied holiday. We were lucky with the weather, and had nine sunny warm days. We stayed in one of the water-villas in Serenity Bay, and... more

We stayed at Villingili at the beginning of September in a water villa on a full board basis. Although this island had only been open for around 6 weeks it was not apparent that this was the case. This was our 10th trip to the Maldives and we have probably visited about 20 islands in the course of our journeys.... more

Just came back from our 5 day stay in early November so the memories are fresh. Firstly, like another traveller said, we are travellers that tend to overlook minor details that people may find annoying. Certainly in a resort like Shangri-la Villingili though there was really nothing to fault. I'm sorry to hear other travellers had bad experiences with the... more

My husband and I have just returned from a holiday at the new shangri-la in Maldives. Waow! What a great experience! We stayed in one of the resort's water villa which was very spacious and comfortable. The ouside daybed was a dream and we very much enjoyed watching the sunset from there. The staff couldn't do enough to please us.... more

We just got back two weeks ago from our stay at the Shangri La. Do not believe any of the rather grumpy posts on this resort, it is spectacular. Your jaw will literally drop when you walk into your room. We stayed in the overwater villa and it is more beautiful and tasteful than any room we`ve ever stayed in,... more

The place opened just a few months ago and when I received a good offer to spend a week there I was a bit doubious. The experience has been very good and we find a place almost undiscovered in Maldives. We loved our Water Villa located very close to the house reef. we could go every morning snorkeling from the... more

Everything is awfull. You can't swim in the ocean as you hurt your feet by the small reefs mixed up with sand. Either your legs sink in the mad covering the bottom. Food is very limited and the freshness is under a question... We never had such poor breakfast. And it doesn't look clean in restraunts. Staff disturb you all... more

this is not the fantastic hotel in maldives. only one swimming pool in all the island and no pool in our room some staff is very unfriendly, the restaurant serve a food not good! the pasta is the worst i have ever eat. if you stay 10 day, you eat always the same thing and the choice at the restaurant... more
