Preface- I debated whether to write a review for this five star luxury resort. It probably needs another five star review like I need a hole in the head. All I could write about was its positive points - almost no negative things. Positive- —This resort should be charging more!This is Marriott’s more reasonable priced resort in the Maldives. Despite it being more “economical” (a word typically not associated with the Maldives), I saw nothing of the sort when it came to the high-quality of the villa’s, the superior quality of the staff, the amenities, the food quality, the activities, etc. —The staff is tremendous - genuinely friendly and extremely helpful. English is widely spoken. —There are about 350 staff members working on this exclusive island. With roughly 130 villas, even at 100% occupancy that’s an amazing ratio of over two staff members to one guest (closer to three). —The water pressure was great (even to the outer over-the-water villas) —The hot water was plentiful. —The A/C in the room could almost make ice cubes if you want (but is individually controlled). But quite honestly, I didn’t use it most of the time. Instead, I opted to open the double sliding glass doors and let the fresh air in, and to also hear the soothing ocean waves crashing in the distance. —The WiFi was fast and free. And it’s everywhere on the island! Not only in the villas and restaurants, but on the beaches and roads too (how cool is that). The quality is so good I even did video calls with my Mom in a nursing home with no problem. —Ditto with making cellular calls. —They provide you with bottles of purified drinking water each day. —Your villa is serviced twice each day (in the USA, even once a day is becoming a rarity). —Every type of bathroom amenity is provided (toothbrush/paste, comb, vanity kit, shaving kit, bath salts, etc.) —The ability to go swimming in the Indian Ocean (which is really a safe lagoon) off your villa is magical! —There’s 24 hour room service. —You’ll never yearn for a pool or beach lounger - there are plenty! And they have deluxe thick cushions too. —Want a private section of beach? There are sections all over the island without a single soul I found. But not private enough for any funny business though… —I could go on and on - everything in this place screams of quality! Negative- — I hated the swinging saloon doors on the closet - yuck. —On their website, the color scheme of the over-the-water villas looks kinda tacky (really just the lime green shutters and saloon doors inside the rooms). In reality, it really isn’t that bad. Their pic’s just make it worse than what it really is. I think they need to switch that green out with another color. —There is a strong water current beneath the over-the-water villas. Don’t think you’ll be able be swim there 24/7. Typically you can only swim there during low tide (Google for times). I’m a good swimmer and I dare not swim in the strong current during high tide. And they
