Maldives Over the Water Villas
We were all very happy with the service. Also, it was great to have a separate restaurant for the over the water villas. Service and food variety were great! The over the water villas were fabulous. Being able to snorkel right off the back deck of the villa was priceless (and we saw so many kinds of fish!). We had the all-inclusive package and there were still a lot of things (drinks, restaurants, activities) that were not included - that always felt like trying to get even more money out of us (and high prices). Wish that was just a small exception to the rule.

The rooms were a bit dated, but offered everything you need. The TV in the room had no signal, so it was just a piece of furniture.
Annette, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall, we loved our stay here. A couple of things to note if you’re considering booking: - the primary nationals who stay here are Russians. - there is quite a bit of loud construction going on during the low season.. we had to move rooms twice to get away from the noise. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re enjoying your stay. Huge shout out to everyone who works there. Food was really good, especially the buffet at Lagoon restaurant.
Shona, 3-night trip

Magical stay, beautiful beaches and pool! I stayed in the delux pool villa and the eater villa and both were exceptional! Highly recommended to everyone thinking about going.

On scale of 10 I would give this place 10👍 especially when you look at the cost “ you are getting more than what you are paying “ compared with other resorts in Maldives. Friendly staff, clean facilities overall, variety of food, a lot of activities. We spent 4 days here and they went too fast. Me and my family would like to say a big thank to the resort management team for the wonderful surprise that they present for my daughter’s birthday. Definitely we will do it again soon. Thank you

Hands down the best Holiday we have been on. Services was INCREDIBLE, they went above and beyond and kept surprising us with little extra details that made our trip so special. Special shoutout to Tharun from the Lagoon restaurant, best waiter we have ever had! The Villa Nautica Island was truly paradise and snorkeling was next level. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a 5 star experience in the maldives.
