Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated on a paradisiac island, offering a breathtaking experience by the lagoon. The rooms are cozy and inviting, but the dining could be improved with more variety. The service is exceptional, especially the receptionist who warmly welcomed us, and the Bar manager at Falhumaafushi beach club was very attentive.
