The resort provided just what we need to disconnect and recharge. 4-days in paradise. We booked a beach villa (sunset view) with private pool as well as all inclusive and this combination provided everything we needed. For transparency if you are susceptible to heat/humidity please note that the bathroom is open thus gets very hot and humid. Do request a floor fan ahead of your arrival to help offset the humidity. The staff are great and will provide. I do recommended this resort and will return in the future.

einfach nur paradiesisch

wir waren 11 Nächte an diesem wunderschönen Ort und können das Hotel wärmstens empfehlen: + komplette Barfussinsel + Essen ist hervorragend + viele Fische / wunderschönes Riff direkt auf der Nachbarinsel mit kostenlosem Transfer + Service / die meisten Mitarbeiter sind schon viele, viele Jahre dort und ein top eingespieltes Team + wunderschöner Stil der Villen, natürlich gehalten Um noch ein Level höher zu erreichen hier noch kleine Mini-Details zum Verbessern: - beim Roomservice fehlte bei 6 von 9 Bestellungen immer irgendetwas - beim Frühstück muss man gewisse Sachen selber holen, wie Wasser (könnten auch ohne Problem die Angestellten, anstatt rumzustehen) - Smoothies werden am Frühstück nur auf Verlangen und Extrakosten serviert (12 Dollar pro Smoothie) - Allgemein ist das Essen eher teuer

Paraíso

Existe um paraíso na terra chamado Banyan Tree nas Maldivas! Viajo há muitos anos pelo mundo e conheço muito dos melhores hotéis , mas,o Banyan Tree das Maldivas fica para sempre no meu coração!!Desde a chegado ao aeroporto , viagem de barco até ao hotel e a calorosa recepção na chegada ao hotel , foi tudo perfeito !! Na chegada a minha vila fiquei simplesmente apaixonada !! Quarto lindo ,cama , almofadas do maior conforto ! Casa de banho excelente aberta com vista e acesso direto à piscina e jaccuzi , onde disfrutei com a maior energia !! Paisagem do quarto paradisíaca onde conseguia ver o mar turquesa contrastando com areia fina e branca !Restaurante com pequeno almoço muito bom e jantar a la carte com comida e variedade fabulosa !!!Spa muito agradável , bar com vista sobre o mar !!! Muito mais poderia escrever de tudo tão maravilhoso que foi !! Recomendo o Banyan Tree a todos que desejem passar o melhor momento e inesquecível da vida !! AMEI

Very quiet island but also a real lack of facilities and there are much better islands in Maldives to enjoy your hard earnt holiday . Only one restaurant which was well below average and boring with very limited options and a big left down for a Banyan Tree property No swimming pool a shock You can find much nicer for same money and we left early and went to another island which was a genuine 5 star for similar money
