This is the only hotel on the island; no locals live there. It's a 40-minute boat ride from Male Airport, and free round-trip transfers are available for stays of more than 5 days. The staff is very friendly, with Russian speakers. There are two girls at reception, working shifts. Tamerlan, the waiter, is always on duty, and there's a girl at the food pickup point (not always). They help with everything. There are no problems with food, everything is delicious. The system for different types of food is complicated. For those who have breakfast, everything is clear: breakfast is only available in one restaurant, which is a buffet. Everything else is paid for, and the prices are steep. We had full board, and we could eat for free at the buffet restaurant and at the cafe nearby - part of the menu is free, but most of it is for a fee, and the Asian restaurant is always for a fee. We didn't figure it out right away, but then we found out everything. Full board includes drinks in the morning - water, juices (piqueted, but tasty), tea, coffee, and at lunch and dinner, without juices (water, tea, coffee). The service is good, but you need to understand right away that everything is very measured, no one is in a hurry, accept it and relax. We had a one-story beach house, we really liked it. There are also two-story houses, but they have a metal staircase from the street to the top, so not so much for the elderly and children. And there are also houses on the water, but this is a matter of taste, we went to them in the evenings to watch sharks, they swim there after sunset, some people really like it. The room has everything and even a flashlight to go watch the sharks. There are plenty of towels in the room, robes, shampoos, creams in large bottles (no brushes or toothpaste). Towels, masks, fins, life jackets, boards, inflatable boats are free to rent on the beach. The pool is excellent and warm. The ocean is gorgeous, on one side of the island where the beaches are calm, and on the other it is stormy. We really enjoyed our vacation, we stayed for 11 nights, we did not want to leave. But this is a relaxing vacation, so you won't be entertained by animators. And I almost forgot – there's a play area and a children's pool for the little ones.
