constant noise spoiled aesthetics

The hotel shop did have some high-quality items available.

The location proved substandard. International passenger jets flew low overhead. This created constant noise. Tower blocks overlook the beaches. This spoiled the natural aesthetics.

serene maldivian retreat

ocean proximity amazing bathroom buffet variety lush plants

My beautiful bungalow was just steps from the ocean. The bathroom included an amazing tub for sky-watching. the breakfast buffet featured awesome variety and quality, exceeding other maldives resorts i have visited. i especially liked the thai restaurant. i found the island's abundant trees and plants particularly appealing.

The beach wasn't as deep as i hoped. One could only wade about 2 meters into the atoll at most.
