The transfers were very easy, however it is quite far from the main Male airport and takes about 2 hours to get there in total. Food was great, entertainment and staff though the rooms were a bit outdated and could use a remodel - Price per night reflects this though, in comparison to the rest of the Maldives.

Amazing experience at the Westin. From the natural beauty of the island to the excellent service and food we had this one of the best vacations we’ve had to date. All 3 restaurants were superb. Chef Min even made us tandoori chicken and biryani via special order that was amazing. We also did a sea turtle/manta snorkel trip that was unforgettable.

Excellent resort for the cost. Quiet, private, quality staff and good food. The only criticism I have is the arrival/departure from the jetty to the seaplane. The resort needs to extend the jetty so one does not have stand on a undulating floating raft in deep sea

As of November 2021 there was a substantial amount of construction going on.
