You will read many reviews describing how gorgeous this island is, and that is very accurate! What made our stay so memorable was how engaging, warm, proactive and positive the staff was! My wife and I are difficult guests as she has celiac disease (gluten free) and I am a vegan. They went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of at each restaurant, as they put a note on our file so that each place knew what we could and couldn’t have! The head chef even greeted us at our first breakfast to put our minds at ease, Chef Naomi went out of her way to make us the most amazing pancakes and tofu scramble! Very much appreciated. We opted for one of the all inclusive packages and we felt the value was pretty good as we enjoyed a few cocktails In the afternoon, as well as a couple at lunch, dinner and the occasional night cap. The meals were all amazing, and the service and conversations with staff made the meals better. The portion sizes are quite large, so I think not getting the all inclusive is feasible but it was nice to put our minds at ease and not count each dollar… Do know that ordering to your room on the all inclusive comes with a delivery surcharge, but it’s not much. Although we had a number of amazing interactions, we have to give the biggest shout outs to Kausha, Naomi, the 2 lads at the Japanese restaurant (sorry I forget your names but one served us three time and the other made the most unique smoky cocktail I have ever seen!) and last but not least - to the warmest of hosts and world class bartender, Lahiru!!! Thank you sooo much for the BEST service, chats, smiles and perfect drinks. A busy position but he made it look so easy, all while greeting each customer like a king or queen! Cheers my friend, and thank you to the entire JW team. Shukuriyyaa! 🙏 Scott

This was a nice vacation for us. I want to give 4.5 star rating but this option is not there. The overall experience was amazing . We visited this resort with our toddler and the reason I selected this resort is there kids club. It’s one of the best kids club we have visited so far . The interior is super cute and they use all wooden toys. The quality of all toys are excellent and are in excellent condition. The staff is super engaging with kids and they keep playing different games with them to keep them engaging. The other good part is they also order food for them in case kids want to eat there. They did a special arrangement for celebrating my daughter’s birthday with the theme cake of our choice and small decoration with gift. It was really nice and unique celebration for us. Apart from kids club the resort staff is very good. They gave us a warm welcome and we were routed directly to villa without wasting anytime in checkin. The check in was done at the villa. There were local sweets for us and some sand toys, stickers, candies for our toddler. We stayed in beach villa for 2 nights and 1 night in over water villa . The villa interior and structure are same in both the category except the water for water villa and sand for beach villa. We were in all inclusive package and ate all our meals in the main restaurant. There are good options for vegetarian in the main restaurant. They have thai, japaanee and Italian restaurant apart from the main restaurant which is international. The breakfast was super nice with load of varieties. I loved the bakery section. Pancakes, waffles, croissant, danish pastries were super delicious. The only reason for not giving 5star is the beach. I choose villa hopping that we will be able to play in sand but we couldn’t do it as there were toooooo many snails and crabs in the sand. They were everywhere even on the sacks. I suggest to clean the beach near beach villa area to maintain it like the other beach which they have near duplex villa.

So we booked JW MARRIOT thinking 5 star and connections lounge etc etc great. We landed in male there airport rep was waiting for us took straight around to seaplane terminal in there marriot bus we then told to wait in lounge (very nice) before long we off in the sea plane. Arrival lovely as expected check in room which was nice. Now the island is lovely gym has amazing views, fantastic staff. BUT we weren’t all inclusive because normally we use it enough to warrant this place is massively expensive 2 mojitos $62 dollars, steak sandwich $70 dollars for 2 off us 2 eat cost us $3200 dollars and we were still hungry. Now this aside that would have been fine if the food was good but we had 16 meals. There was 7 were world class as you would expect 4 were questionable 3 were uneaten or returned. You can really tell when the main chef is cooking. They have a little shop on the island and they actually had a phone case I wanted but again priced at 192 dollars Water sports absolutely great bunch of staff !! House keeping absolutely great team !! The island it self fabulous!! Is it worth $19000 for 7 nights all in probably not and the food has let it down. I personally think this island should only be all inclusive and let people come and live with out thinking those drinks are 60 dollars. There are lot more luxury hotels around the world that you can probably go to for a lot less.
