Lovely beach and snorkelling opportunities. Friendly staff but could do with better training (not consistent). Very child friendly. Decor quite dated but kept generally clean. Food quality requires improvement for 5-star rating (first time in Maldives so cannot say if this is resort-specific but don't expect Dubai 5-star hotel food).

Absolutely amazing, you need to stay in an overwater sunset villa w/ pool, this gets you exclusive club access basically to yourself and many other added benefits/perks and you must do all inclusive or the Grand all inclusive. Only complaint is my wife is the pickiest eater you'll meet so it took some adjustment to find meals she liked (even from the kids menu) but all restaurants were super accommodating in customizing her meal to anything she wanted and by day 2 we had her eating like a king.

Information about the area

Ari Atoll, Maldives
The Ari Atoll (also known as Alif or Alifu Atoll) is one of the largest atolls in the archipelago, with 105 islands. The more than 1000 shallow coral islands of the Maldives are full of sun, sand and sea, surrounded by colourful reefs, turquoise lagoons and fantastically white beaches. The crystalline water blends on the horizon with the blue of the sky. A stay in this paradise is medicine for those hit by city stress, but also ideal for honeymoons and of course for snorkelling and diving, as the exotic underwater world is hard to beat in terms of colour splendour and abundance of fish. Arrival by plane from Male.
