This hotel has a great reef but is seen better days. It needs to get revamped. It has one of the best reefs in the Maldives so you have to cope with all the faults of the hotel. I booked the all-inclusive for $137 a night plus 26% tax and service charge. Don't come in May All you get is rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain. The food was okay. They put me on the second floor and I had an ocean view. Good thing about this hotel is that they have a washing package. If you stay less than four nights I think it's $22 and they'll wash everything that you own. If you stay four to seven days I believe I spent $32 for their laundry package which is unlimited laundry. Their drinks are okay nothing named brand. If you're on the all-inclusive and you want carlsberg then they have to put it in your room because they just serve beer on tap that's lion. I would stay there again because of the reef but the hotel is absolutely nothing special.

It was an amazing experience of living on such a small island, but they will provide everything you need. The food is just wonderful, stuff is friendly and helpful, atmosphere is nice and very Italian oriented. Reccomend for those who loves privacy and very calm vacations in beautiful place! Would add TV into the rooms for the days with bad weather.

This was our first Maldives holiday in over a decade so we wanted to make sure that we chose well. I can say wholeheartedly that we did! There'd been a few less than glowing reviews in the weeks leading up to our visit and this did make us a little concerned, but the reality was that the resort fully lived up to our expectations....and more It's not one of these Dubai-style hyper-luxury resorts where everything is buffed to within an inch of its life and the staff are hot and cold running minions. It is however, extremely well maintained and lovingly looked after by a team that genuinely seem to care about the place and its guests. The staff (all of them) managed to maintain a balance between being friendly and engaging, and remaining professional. That is one heck of a balancing act. Our first names were used by some of the staff, but weren't 'worn out' from over-use like you get in some places. Again, the balance was just right (in our opinion). Also, as others have stated, some of the management team do use the bar and restaurants, but I just see it as a way of them engaging with guests, so a positive rather than an issue. On arrival we were told that our Duplex Villa (113) wasn't looking it's best due to erosion of the beach in front of it, so were offered a Pool Beach Villa (102) as an alternative. After 20+ hours of travelling we were a little put out by this, but the team couldn't have been more helpful in making sure we got the best option from our perspective. We weren't pressurised into moving and several other options were discussed. As it turned out 102 was the perfect room for us. I should also say that the conversations re the room situation were had with Monica, the General Manager, not delegated to other staff to deal with. No shirking of difficult conversations, just a willingness to work for the best outcome for the guest. Great management style. I think anyone who has been to the Maldives has probably experienced the issues that these (more natural) resorts have with erosion. It's an ongoing battle. Whilst we were there the maintenance teams were working hard to complete the sea defences to protect the beach on that side of the island. It didn't look great, I'd much rather that approach than see an island with a concrete seawall around it. Anyway, once settled into our room it became a daily round of eating, drinking, reading and snorkelling. We were on the Ultimate All Inclusive tariff and very glad we were, as it removed the 'bill shock' at the end of our stay. As others have said, there is a well stocked minibar (actually a full size wine fridge) plus another full sized fridge for soft drinks, beers etc. The range of wines was good across white, red, rose and prosecco. We didn't feel the need to go for the 'paid for' upgrades such as champagne as the choices included were perfectly adequate. The food was on the whole very good. We were particular fans of Sea Grill and ate there whenever it was ope

Viva beach and spa is situated in the heart of a local island allowing you to experience and take in the culture and life of local residents who live there. Everyone you meet on the island are friendly and welcoming, especially those who work at Viva beach. Due to it not being a resort island you need to respect the Muslim culture when outside your room and Viva in covering your shoulders and legs, not showing PDA etc. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the (bikini beach) which is for tourists to use however you can visit any other local beach but should remain covered. Viva is a fabulous hotel, and cheaper (including deals) when booking directly through their website. It is a new building with clean, fresh decor and linens, aircon and the best shower ❤️ the sea view is lovely to wake up to from their comfy beds. They have a safe in the room and toiletries,towels included (along with a designated beach towel). Their food is delicious and plentiful, the buffet breakfast is $6, lunch/dinner $10 pp from their menu. They are incredibly attentive and genuinely wish to give each guest the best stay from food to rooms, to excursions. Raj was fantastic on the snorcaling safari, especially when I was anxious initially. Abdulla, Raj, Mohammed and the team shared their culture with me through food, drink and talking it was one of the best parts of my trip, including a tour to show me the little spots like the oldest tree on the island, the oldest mosque on the island and the schools, shops and cafes. As a solo female traveller I had moved from another island after a bad experience and Viva were first class from pick up from the speedboat to leaving. Hotels on the island are ran by the same family (brothers, cousins, uncles) so you're safe wherever you are on the island. I would recommend anyone who wants to go for a relaxing holiday in the Maldives, with the option of excursions and experiencing another culture. The excursions are endless from ocean activities, beach from dinners, private island trips, even dining with a Maldivian family the list is endless. Island use US Dollars and speedboat is 90 minutes at $40
