we did find the cost of extra activities (especially water activities) to be prohibitively expensive but this didn’t detract from the overall experience.

The resort itself is paradise. Our overwater villa was absolutely beautiful, clean and with luxurious amenities. Snorkelling every day we saw reef and nurse sharks, stingrays, turtles and tonnes of fish. What really set this resort apart was the staff. Every single team member, across all departments, was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we were happy and comfortable. Despite the weather (it rained a lot) the staff and management team did everything to make our stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. Food was good with a decent choice to not get bored. Kitchen staff are happy to accommodate requests, restaurant and bar staff were amazing. Spa and Gym facilities and staff were great, massages were exactly what we needed and complimentary activities kept us busy.

The dive center. The lady Sasha at the reception was cold & rude.

The property requires more facilities and activities.

The heavenly water villa was spectacular. Loved it! Staff were amazing, from the GM to the most junior employee. They were very helpful, caring and attentive. They took a good care of me and made my stay pleasant. Chef Usama’s food is really delicious!

Absolutely nothing.

Everything was perfect but the standout was the staff. They went out of their way to make sure you were catered for and made you feel like part of the family. Everyone we encountered helped you with a smile on their face. We stayed in a Deluxe beach villa and had stunning views every morning. The villa itself was so spacious and had everything, particularly useful that there were numerous plug outlets in the room. We had a bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival. The outdoor shower was divine. All the food was beautifully prepared and portions were huge (there were often buffets for dinner). We found half board was more than enough. Standout dessert was the Baked Yoghurt! There is a huge range of activities to do plus a great gym and spa! We managed to see Dolphins, Turtles and Manta Rays. It was such a perfect stay, made only more perfect by my fiancé proposing on our strip of the beach. We'd like to thank Laurent and his team for giving us some incredible memories and we cannot wait to return. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone I know.

This is a wonderful place. The staff are from the Maldives, this is their national industry, their pride and joy. You can feel that all day as you are greeted with a smile and a wave by every single member of staff. Without the guests there is no island resort, without the staff there is no Maldives island experience. We loved everything about it and had an unforgettable experience, thank you Westin Miriandhoo!

The breakfast is served in an open restaurant looking out to sea. One can choose to sit inside in the shade or outside on the terrace facing the pool. The buffet selection was very extensive and very high quality. Each morning we were greeted by the head chef and he was keen to discuss with us what we would like, just as he had been the previous night in the Japanese restaurant, the Pearl and the night before that in the Asian street food Hawker restaurant. One morning after asking for melon he said we were in luck as it had just been flown in from Dubai and it was cut and served straight away. The coffee was good, orange juice freshly squeezed. Omelette, scrambled or boiled eggs made to order all done perfectly and quickly. There was a wide variety of freshly baked bread and rolls as well as good danish pastries. I enjoyed the freshly squeezed watermelon juice on ice. During breakfast we were able to chat with the hotel manager Laurent and discuss the day ahead. We booked a tennis court with the leisure staff and talked generally about the tiny but exquisite island we were on, which comprises only the Westin resort and takes no more than 10 minutes to walk around. A cocktail evening was held on the Friday so we had a chance to chat with the other guests and play some Petanque with our American and Chinese fellow guests. This is inspired by Laurent, the hotel manager, who is passionate about making everyone on the island, guest and staff alike, feel at home. On the last night we had a Mojito and MaiTai cocktails in the Sunset bar while we watched the sun slowly set. As darkness descends the gentle crash of the waves seems to get louder. By the moonlight we could still see the fish swimming under the pontoon and watched a small shark shimmy past. It wasn't till the morning we left that we saw a baby Manta ray swim past as we waited for the seaplane to take us to the airport at Male, 30 minutes flying time to the South.

One area where there could be some improvement is on the return to Male airport in particular for the check in process. We waited for someone to attend to us for about 15 mins before we and other couples proceed to collect our luggage and head over to the check in counter or security side. Because of the queues, it actually becomes very tight for us and we only managed to get a quick bite before heading to the gates.

The price of the stay is certainly one of the more expensive ones that we have. Looking back, we will definitely make the same decision to stay in Westin. My wife and I truly enjoyed the personalised service provided. Shoutout to Dulat for attending to us during our stay. He has been most attentive and proactive to assisting us. We enjoyed his companionship. The food is fantastic and we can see variation in the menu from day to day. Quality of food is top notched. The villa is wonderful. Not just the amount of space that we have, the view is great and we can feel that it is brilliantly designed. Overall, the service by the entire crew is great. From offering cut fruits when we are at the poolside to giving us good recommendation on where we can view sunset, we really truly enjoyed our stay in Westin.

Nothing

What a gem of a find, we are blessed to stay at many luxury hotels, this is undoubtedly the best service we have ever experienced, from Vijay the GM, to the directors laurent and Deepak to the staff, the best outstanding service we have ever experienced. The snorkeling exceptional as well, just simply the best

For those who wish to surf, it’s not available here. Swimming pool is close to the bar and restaurant. Villa swimming pool is tiny, but still good to cool down.

Comfortable transfer, just 30 min by seaplane from Male. Professionally designed facilities by architects, which makes the facilities comfortable in every single detail. Good choice of restaurants, we loved the Pearl restaurant the most, because of its ambiance, service and food. Breakfast is also excellent. And Popsticle ice cream after swimming and sunbathing was also very pleasant. We had a beach villa, sunrise oriented, nice white-sand beach with turquoise water, beautiful views of starry sky, sunrise and sunset. Snorkeling kit and kayaking were complimentary from the Aqua centre. Spa is very very nice place with good view and staff also very professional. And special thanks to the staff, they were very caring and warm to us. We will remember their caring attitude. This resort is definitely place to come back!

Alcohol prices were very high

Super luxe and beautiful new rooms. The Kids Club was wonderful- Haifa in particular was exceptional in caring for our son. All staff were super friendly and welcoming, I’d highly recommend the Westin as a place to stay and I plan to go back again.
