W Maldives

This was for the domestic flight portion of W. Aisha who received us was great. Perhaps due to lower occupancy we took quite an early seaplane back to the airport and had a 7h layover.

Прекрасный отель, изумительная работа персонала, всё организовано на высшем уровне. Спасибо

A couple of days ago we arrived back home from the Paradise at W Maldives and we can think about this Resort only with superb opinions. The place itself is amazing. The refurbished villas are really very beautiful, modern and top notch. We booked an overwater villa by Marriott Bonvoy , and as a Platinum member we hoped an eventual upgrade. At the arriving our guide, Aanis showed us our booked overwater villa, which is really impressive, but we were very happy, as he told we could choose a beach villa, if we wanted to. The villa No112 was showed to us, and we liked it immediately. The interior is far more better, than we saw on former pictures. The room is spacious and bright, the bed is very comfy, there is a lot of space to put the belongings. The new and huge smart TV is a pro, we could connect our devices , and see streamings in the evenings. We used the Nespresso coffee- machine everyday. Unfortunately there is no more W Mixbar, but they refilled our minifridge with soda and juices everday. The bathroom is huge and very nice. The shower is very good, the pressure and the temperature of the water is superb. We enjoyed the relaxing and calm sorroundings, the trees and bushes, and the very fine sandy bech as well. We enjoyed the pool outside, (which got a very new surface - not rough any more! ), the sunbeds beside the pool and on the beach. It was only minor negative, that sometimes snorkelers put their belongings on our sunbeds while they were in the sea, because the exit to the reef was near to our villa. I would recommend to the managemant to put something , ( e.g a bank or a table) for this purpose near to this point. We could enjoy the complimentary breakfast every morning. Every dishes are fresh and delicious, and the selection is wide enough. We are very thankful for the whole staff of the Kitchen, especially Celine, who took care of us very kindly, and Wasantha, who was very kind as well. We ordered some times the in-room-dining, which was always very fine and enough. We dined two times in the Fish Restaurant , both were delicious. Some info's about the mealplans: if You have complimentary free breakfast, you have to pay for HB 195 USD/pp/day, for FB 275 USD/pp/day and for AI 390 USD/pp/day. We didn't choose any of them. As our villa lays on the north side of the island, at 4 PM became a little bit shady, so we moved to the main pool, which is very beautiful. The new slide looks very trendy, we didn' try it. The jacuzzi is very fine, but if you look for a really hot tub, this isn't. The staff at the Wet Bar is very kind as well. We got delicious cocktails and even fresh cut coconut as well. Special thanks to Claire , who took care of us , and told a lot of interesting facts about the Resort. She organised for us even a behide the scenes tour , and we vere happy to check out, how the employees are living in the center of the island. Very thank to Amila and Harald, the managers. They were always very friendly and kind with us. We
