Cottages in Maldives

"From airport pick up to check out the process was seamless. The staff were great and organised everything. Convenient if you need to make a connecting seaplane flight to a resort island. "

"Very welcoming, friendly and attentive staff. Room was small but comfortable, ideal location over the road from the beach. Very good value for money."

"Staff willingness to help with any request was fabulous. House cleaning was perfect and requests were completed efficiently. Food was fabulous in Krystal restaurant (as was the service by Kreshmita) and very good elsewhere. For a small island, its amazing what they have achieved. Our only concern was in the buffet restaurant one evening when it was very busy and the food couldnt be replenished quick enough, so choice was limited. Bar service and choice of premium alcohol was very good, and I only recall re-asking for our drinks once, but they soon arrived. Sanju and Desy always kept us topped up and provided great service. The island is kept pristine looking by a team of hard workers trimming shrubs amd maintaing the beach. The wildlife was great to see, which we hadnt been expecting. We came for some rest and relaxation, and the Palace provided that in abundance. If you want to do more activities, then the sister Atol island is well stocked with livelier entertainment and good water sports. We snorkeled all the reef and had a wonderful adventure. From baby shark within 2 feet of the waters edge, to ray and sharks off the jetty pier it was a fabulous experience. We chose to go on the boat snorkelling trip at $75 per person. The service and safety was very good but the reef location was very poor. The reefs on the island were much much better and free. This left us feeling that we had paid for a boat trip. Everything considered, the Palace is very good to excellent."

"We stayed for two nights before we moved on to the islands. We had an enjoyable stay and the hotel is well situated close to shops and the fish market. We would stay again."

"I stayed in the bungalow duplex overlooking garden and sea and later moved to the water bungalow and loved both - the furnishings a quite dated, but very well kept! The best is the island was simply fantastic - allowed me to find quiet solitary space --- the staff were simply respectful, welcoming and very divine. I loved the restaurant staff at Chopstix and Baan Thai (of course al the Masala Hut) - but I kept on returning to Chopstix and Baan - the ladies took care of me. My concierge lady was fabulous - and the guys at the Beach hut with bbq fish day was fabulous also. Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen for the lovely stay - BTW - I loved the outdoor gym and Kayaking in the morning or late afternoon -- I actually got so much in shape and lost weight even if I ate a lot --- lotsa physical activities made for a perfect: Eat, Pray Love and Workout Christmas Holiday!"

"Thank you… we really enjoyed our visit "

"Booked last minute due to 5 hour flight delay! Staff so friendly and helpful. Lovely gift shop, bought the best maldives magnet! Breakfast was good - omlet chef was a nice touch. Convenience shop very close by"

"My stay at Hard Rock Maldives was above my expectations. All the staff members were very friendly and kind. The villa where I stayed was comfortable and had a great ocean view. The restaurants were all great. I enjoyed staying there so much, thanks to all the “band” members. Thank you so much!"

"The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating and the rooms are well equipped. "
