Maldives is an amazing location for a vacation, period. Gangehi resort was beautiful, with friendly staff, and such a peaceful environment to enjoy the astounding beauty of the beaches and marine life. You can walk out in the calm clear waters, so far that you can don't even have to swim to stick your face into the water and see coral (with a snorkel mask).

This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! It is quiet and relaxed. The island is small so this is the only resort on it. You can walk around the island in 20 minutes. I loved how quiet this place was, and I didn’t see any kids there. In spite of its small size they had five restaurants serving different types of food. Some of the reef is damaged, but we still saw plenty of fish of varying sizes and colors! I would go back in a flash!

This is a great property. Period. It is an island-hotel with 70 rooms only.
When I think about all-inclusives, I generally categorize them in 3 big groups:
1. Party all day. Adults only, fun and drinks happening all day long. Plenty of eating options.
2. Family oriented. Games, a lot of kids around. Many pools, eating options.
3. Quiet. Can be family or adults, but it means relaxing at the beach, food served at fixed ours, nobody really partying, most guests in bed well before...
