Highlights
① Hilton's flagship resort in the Maldives, worry-free service; ② Each villa has a very large indoor and outdoor area, with understated luxury; ③ More than 10 dining outlets, too abundant for ordinary Chinese guests staying 4 nights; ④ Snorkeling is above average, very rare for a newly opened luxury island.
Before you go
Drawbacks: ① The compressor in the water villas is a bit noisy; ② A new island may lag in some aspects; ③ Mosquitoes in the water villas. Review: ① Based on our on-site inspection, for a new island the equipment is quite complete; ② The actual scenery is better than in the photos; ③ There are many photo spots, bridges and streams, and the sunset bar is very beautiful; ④ Many types of dining with certain quality, such as Michelin restaurants, wellness restaurants, and Lilong are all worth recommending; ⑤ Four private yachts, a very good experience; ⑥ Some details are well done, such as variable-speed bicycles with handbrakes, flashlights, and adjustable height.
