The Waldorf Astoria brand is top-notch, offering top-notch island ambiance, hotel facilities, and ambiance. We tried several restaurants on the island, and the Japanese restaurant was the most impressive. The other Arabic and barbecue restaurants were average, though the breakfast was more extensive. Finally, I'd like to mention the service. We were assigned three butlers for our five-day, four-night stay. The first butler suddenly called in for leave after meeting us that day. The second butler arrived the next day and was a bit slow to respond... The third butler took over on the third day, and their service was quite responsive. Overall, this butler slightly detracted from my overall experience. Other aspects, such as the weather (it rained all day on one of the four days, but cleared up the rest of the time, which was quite good for July), and the island's entertainment options were all excellent, though the prices were quite high, depending on your budget. This second trip to the Maldives, ten years later, was truly worthwhile.
