Amazing hotel, gorgeous rooms. Great stuff, food at the restaurants is over priced, could use a bar for the evening, but other than that everything is perfect. A true gateway! Special thanks to Mohan the manager at tasting table. A fabulous man. ❤️

Perfect Stay
Everything was amazing and even a couple of things that weren’t perfect upon our arrival were so attentively fixed with such respect and care that I don’t even remember what these were. We have stayed in many top Maldives hotels before and I would, having compared them, would rate the WA very highly. We even got to see a dolphin right outside our villa at sunset! Beautiful island, fantastic food, and (very important for me) no show - offs like in the “famous” One and Only which was such a headache. We are definitely coming back! Thank you Waldorf Astoria for our delightful stay!
