Great property but it needs modernisation and uplift. Three restaurants only. Good quality. No business centre No entertainment to speak of except for same singer with sams repertoire. Needs Newspapers and greater selection of books. Cleaning of rooms and toilets needs improvement.

Setting is fabulous, outlook fantastic, food incredible. All restaurant venues quality of food was excellent. Majority of staff were excellent, (Atama a standout). Staff need senior management in all areas as some staff were standing around talking more than serving. (Especially at the main pool area). This is not the young kids fault but lack of investment by upper management to supply and enforce high hospitality standards

Amazing spot however the hotel did not meet our standard of a 5 star hotel. Bed was uncomfortable, air conditioning didn’t work one night, there was a tray of of cigarettes in the outdoor shower, upon arrival we had to wait 1.5 hours for our room with no access to our baggage. All staff were 5 star and their service was amazing.

Its more like a 3 star than a 5 star hotel. A lot of missing to be on a premium level - this starts with unregulary housekeeping, limited trained staff, high prices vs less performance, et cetera

Not worth the money, go to the Maldives.
Room was great, staff were nice, but some were very undertrained and unprofessional, but food was awful, and drinks were very slow, I won't be going there again. If I am going to pay an absolute fortune to go to this island, I would expect amazing food and drinks to flow. I also think it's an absolute rip off to charge so much for the boat to and from Hamilton to Hayman. It should be free or at least a reasonable cost.
