My stay at the Paradise Resort was truly unforgettable. The hotel rooms were clean, spacious, and just a stone's throw away from the beach, allowing us to enjoy the sea right from our room. The service was incredibly friendly and cooperative, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The location was superb, with a quick speedboat ride from the airport and stunning views of the clear blue ocean. However, the dining options were a bit limited in terms of local cuisine, and the visit to a local island wasn't what we expected.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a nice open-air shower, but they need updating, especially for a 5-star hotel. The employees are very friendly, however, the speedboat service is pricey at $120 per person. More seafood variety and a weekly barbecue party would enhance the dining experience.

Oh, I can't get over how amazing this hotel is! It's practically ON the beach, nestled among palm trees and luxurious vegetation. The rooms were not just nice and clean; they were a true haven from the inside. However, the only hiccup was that the air conditioning wasn't up to par.

7.4/10

The hotel offers a great size and facilities with very friendly employees. However, the speed boat service is very expensive for the short distance, priced like international flights. It's just a 20-minute drive. Regarding the food, they could improve by providing more seafood varieties and hosting a barbecue party at least once a week. Towards the end of the beach villa, there is no view, dirty water, and pungent corals, making swimming impossible in the Haven Water Villa.

The hotel is conveniently located for easy access from the Male airport. However, some areas lacked cleanliness and had a persistent bad smell from the moment we entered our room. The property itself is fantastic with its own pool in each room. Special thanks to the staff members like Beatachila and Manoj for their exceptional service.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While the lagoon restaurant offered a pleasant atmosphere, it lacked that 'wow' factor in the food. Buffet options at dinner and lunch were relatively poor, and even the water villa dining experience fell short of expectations. However, they did serve delicious yogurts.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms facing the beach between the reception and the water sports activity center were nice and cozy. The employees were extremely friendly. The only downside was the high cost of the speed boat for transportation. It felt a bit expensive considering the short distance to travel. I wish they would offer more seafood varieties and maybe a barbecue party at least once a week.
