SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection By Hilton

− Tudo !

− There is a serious lack of transparency regarding local taxes and fees. The prices at the venues were much higher than what we saw on the menus due to unwritten taxes. Most importantly, at checkout, we were unexpectedly charged a Green Tax of $12 per person. This was never communicated to us during the booking process or in our confirmation. Being forced to pay unannounced fees at checkout caused us unexpected financial strain and ruined our experience. Booking.com and the hotel must inform guests about these taxes in advance.

− The only little thing that upset us was the breakfast during departure. Last two times we were able to go to the breakfast buffet upon opening early morning and have all food and drink and options available. This time, it was a “mini buffet” just because we were a bigger group checking out. However, this breakfast buffet was literally just some pastries, fruit, bread and cheese? And when we came up to it there was literally no one, and it was pitch dark so it kind of wasn’t the best farewell. Hoping this can be improved in the future :) joining the regular buffet was the ideal departure tbh. Still giving a 9 because there’s always room for improvement.

− Renting bicycles was a pain which shouldn't have been due to other guests stealing bicycles and the resort not taking any action on them rather than that they fine the person for getting their bike stolen. The resteraunts were underwhelming for their price points You cant go freely to male city and back which one would expect due to the fact that its so close to it Some of the furniture was stained which we would have expected to be cleaner

− I didn’t like how there isn’t as much stingrays, fish, and sharks seen right from the overwater villa. Since the location is close to male island there isn’t as much sea animals to see from the villa. I didn’t like how the bikes weren’t included in our stay, and after purchasing bikes and locking them they still got stolen, and the hotel told us to still pay for it, even tho they gave us a faulty lock. I didn’t like the hotel services, couldn’t order much from the room as other resorts, can’t even order a fresh coconut!!!! To the room, which is honestly something all other resorts do. I didn’t like how it took too long to receive the buggy. The overwater villas are also really close to each other so there isn’t much privacy on the balcony and swimming.

− Less activities and drinks overpriced
