So glad we went with a over water villa

Shared with Butler by the Sea, 2014

Just wanted to say thanks once again for organizing such an amazing honeymoon for us. We had a wonderful time in Maldives. The resort exceeded my expectation and now I have very high standards for accommodation for future holidays haha

From the time we landed in Male .. the staff from the resort have made us feel welcome

They sorted our luggage, check in etc while we chilled in the transit lounge for a flight to koodoo. By the time we arrived it was 2AM but the staff members were there to greet us with iced tea & huge smile

Our over water villa was amazing… I was so surprised at how clean and hygienic the whole resort was. I have OCD but this place ticked all the boxes for hygiene which was something I was very happy about. The view from the bedroom was spectacular .. so glad we went with a over water villa. It was perfect spot for snorkeling & only 10 min walk to the main reception and beach bar area.

Our package included daily breakfast and dinner – the food was AMAZING! the buffet had a good variety and if there was something we wanted thats not in the menu they would cook it for us straightway. We got spoilt with range of quality food & fresh fruit ! We had dinner at the Falhuma restaurant which was also amazing but I preferred the dinning hall as the staff were more friendly and attentive there so we had dinner at the dining hall for remaining nights. They also have 24 hrs in villa service which we took advantage of a fair bit.

We also went on snorkeling tour, diving & dolphin cruise with the dive center group and had few treatments in Clarins Spa- highly recommend the detox treatment

overall we had a fantastic time in the Maldives and was so sad to leave the resort. I’m interested in going on short trip to bali or fiji- do you have anythin for 2-3 nights?

kind regards
