Amazing Rooftop Dining

I had the pleasure of dining at the rooftop restaurant during my stay. The views were absolutely amazing, and I was consistently impressed by the fantastic food. Every meal felt like a special occasion, especially thanks to Chef Prabhu's very nice creations. The variety and quality of the dishes made every dining experience nice.

Relaxing Rooftop Pool

The rooftop pool was a fantastic place to unwind after a day of exploring. Not only did it offer stunning views, but the environment was also tranquil and relaxing. It provided a perfect escape, and I enjoyed refreshing swims, all while soaking up the sun. I had a good time lounging by the pool each day.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which served its purpose perfectly as a transit hotel. The staff went above and beyond to assist us after our flight mishap, and the breakfast buffet was lovely. While it's not as luxurious as the resorts in the Maldives, it's comfortable and convenient for a short stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was perfect in the middle of Male, and the restaurant had some great dining options, the service was lacking, particularly during my city tour. The staff could have been friendlier, and the tour experience was disappointing overall. The value for the city tour package felt unfair given the price we paid.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel, which was ideal for our short time in Male. The rooftop pool area was a highlight, offering a serene space to unwind, and our room, while not overly spacious, had all the comforts we needed. The staff were remarkably attentive and went above and beyond, including a generous gesture of providing free soccer tickets for my son. However, the room sizes might feel a bit small compared to other destinations, but the great service made it worthwhile.

My stay was quite pleasant overall. The hotel is easily accessible with an airport pick-up, and the speedboat ride added a nice touch. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although my in-room dining experience was a bit disappointing. There are great restaurants within walking distance, and breakfast offered a good selection.

My stay was decent but had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean but quite small, and I found the air conditioning a bit problematic with a musty smell. Breakfast had its highlights but the coffee and some food options fell short. I appreciated the rooftop pool, but the food prices felt steep. The speedboat transfer from the airport was a nice touch, although my arrival experience could have been smoother.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the location was wonderfully convenient for exploring Male, and I enjoyed the rooftop dining with great views, the service left something to be desired, especially during check-in. The room had a damp smell and was not up to the price expectation, making it feel more like a budget option despite being marketed as upscale.

The service was top-notch, and the breakfast had a fantastic variety. On the downside, the room was on the smaller side, and there could be improvements in the vegetarian dining options.
