Hotels with smoking rooms in South Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll

"The staff is what makes this place outstanding. They are professional, unfailingly polite and helpful. You feel like an important, valued guest. Everyone greets you, hand over heart, day or night, whether you have interacted with them previously or not. They are appropriately engaging. Some have the most delightful sense of humor. If you have an issue with the staff, make no mistake, YATA. Couple this staff with the most gorgeous island I have ever seen, and you have a winning combination."

"The beach villa is nice. Close to a small beach. You can walk to any place from the room, but the facility sends you a buggy to pick you up and drop you anywhere you like. The room is clean, the staff is super friendly at all times. Balcony faces the beach but there is some green and some trees in between. Still nice private room."

"We really enjoyed our stay - the service and attention to guests is some of the best we have experienced. We loved the bikes, watersports centre and the spa. The planting and little details in the plant areas on the island are really lovely. We liked our overwater villa size, layout and sunset view (although the new Mandarin Oriental being built nearby slightly detracts). The decor does need an update soon though (eg. Loungers are clunky to adjust, tiles in the pool are a little jagged and the bath is unusable). We liked all the restaurants (especially saffron and soyi), our experience of Origin was less good due to a large table with loud adults and kids and the fish menu wasn’t as good as I was expecting. Champagne generously flowed and was a nice one. We thought the red wine list would benefit from an extra option with a bit more oomph (eg a. Malbec). However overall a really enjoyable holiday. "

"Incredible experience with a truly amazing staff. Rooms were a little warn down but the property and privacy/quiet nature of the resort itself helped absorb that one fault. Will absolutely be back! "
