Perfect holiday
We were staying in a overwater pool villa, and our stay was perfect. The resort is so beautiful. Staff were all extremely polite and professional. Food was excellent. The only down side is the location of the resort which is another half day of travel from Male but it was worth it.

Unfortunately, Expedia sold us in all inclusive, which did NOT include drinks. We had to pay an upgrade at the hotel. We asked Expedia for help and they have entirely ignored our request.
