The 10-minute transfer to and from the airport costs USD $90 one-way per person. Keep in mind, it is a small shared speedboat — worse than the transfer I used to go to Maafushi Island, which took 45 minutes and cost only USD $25 one-way / person. This transfer fee was not mentioned beforehand and was not transparent. Therefore, I am very dissatisfied with such outrageous charges. Secondly, the water sports charges were outrageous. Paragliding costs USD $290, while it was only USD $60 in Maafushi Island — go figure. I felt like I was being taken advantage of by this hotel. Thirdly, some of the staff are not professionally trained (some reception staff, the man in charge of taking buggy transfer etc...), and their service was substandard. I received better service at Arena Beach Hotel in Maafushi Island. Overall, it was totally not worth it, and I regret staying at this hotel. If I had known earlier, I would have booked a hotel with a seaplane transfer. Although it might cost double for the transfer, at least I would have had the chance to see the beautiful Maldives from the air and with much longer flight time and enjoying the airport facility. Please think twice and do more research before choosing a private hotel. ps. I have much to share and if the hotel manager read this review and would like to know more the area to improve especially the staff, do reach out to me and I can share in details."

Instead, I was put in villa right next to a big construction site. I was woken every day at 8:00 AM by clanging, banging and all the noises a construction site make. I wanted to enjoy peace in my private garden and listen to sound of ocean and nature, instead I got zero peace and heard only construction work, both near pool and near beach. At time of booking or arrival, there was no mention of construction work. Instead of destressing on vacation, I got super stressed. Asked for a new villa, was told they are fully booked until I leave. After contacting Expedia I was given a new villa for last day only. I asked hotel for compensation, but they have refused to take accountability for this situation, which I find incredible and not at the industry standard of a 5\* resort.
