The room boy Naala and the gentleman who helped us at the Male airport, Evaan, were also incredibly helpful. The New Year's Eve celebration with DJ Yara was wonderful and we were impressed with the speed and efficiency of the staff who always took care of our needs promptly - even communicating with us through WhatsApp. The staff here are truly professional with a caring attitude, always ready to help and make your stay memorable. We particularly appreciated the attention and friendliness of Mr. Sulvaan and Mr. Zaid, our villa assistants.
