Lovely Island, Staff and Food

Such a beautiful island and in keeping with traditional Maldivian style as opposed to the built up louder resorts that are now poppint up in the Maldives. The food was great we did not have one bad meal. The staff are what make this place though they all try their absolute best to assist you with whatever your needs.

Most of the activities and amenities were top notch. Really enjoyed the stay here as the hospitality was great and the dining options were amazing. Privacy seemed to be the key here, when we would go out we would rarely see others outside by the beach or pool. I don't know if it was the season but it felt very private.

Fabulous hotel resort

The Taj resort is amazing. It is a beautiful resort set on a wonderful private island. The colours of the sea are fabulous. The best activity is swimming in the crystal clear emerald green sea. The hotel is everything you would except of a Taj hotel. The food was excellent. What made it extraordinary was the attitude and helpfulness of all the staff. Nothing was too much. Beautiful, kind people.

Beautiful property on its own island. Fantastic beach, great amenities and friendly staff. Spa was amazing. Only complaint was the check-in process where they didn’t acknowledge the VIP perks I should be receiving as an Expedia Gold member. I asked for it and they provided it later but the process was inconvenient (especially having to switch to an upgraded room mid-stay). Overall, a very nice property.
