It simply was like in the pictures. We got Private Pool Beach Villa number 228. We recommend 228 or lower. The other two higher numbers overlook a part of the beach that unfortunately is eroded and you can see the sand bags. It does not look nice at all, but this is caused by the tides and its very difficult to avoid.
The room was very comfortable, but if you have a sensible back, make sure you talk to the staff as soon as you get there, since the mattress was a little bit saggy (for my back) - They removed the top soft cover and it got better, but still was not firm.
The outside bathroom... my God. That was one of the main reasons why we got this room and it was worth it!!! Taking a shower with an air temperature of 27-29 deg C and the sounds of the sea, is simple magnificent.
The room was made twice a day, which was great.
Many people say that the prices are extortionate. They are NOT. You pay exactly what you pay in any other 5 star hotel in any other location (like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Paris, etc.) - You CANNOT compare the prices in Maldives with prices in Thailand, Malaysia or Jamaica.
That said, the prices ARE HIGH, but you get value for money. Take the B&B and pay for the rest of your meals. THe indulgence package is only worth if you're going to have 3 course meal and 2 glasses of alcohol TWICE a day. If you're going to have a 1-2 course lunch, 1 glass of alcohol and an a-la-carte 3 course dinner with 2 glasses of alcohol, go for B&B only!
