JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa

− First, I went down to the sea from the villa to do snorkeling. I found a ladder under the sea, tiles and all kinds of waste. You feel like you are in a construction site, not the sea. This upset me, given the price. I expected that these primitive things would not be. Second, the wooden building is dilapidated and melts in your hand. Third, at night, with a slight wind, you hear the doors slamming against each other. In other words, they have no maintenance. I must say that the air conditioning is weak. When I asked, they said it was like this. Honestly, I was shocked by the Marriott.

− 1) very limited dining and poor dining options 2) couldnt see sunrise nor sunset 3) over water villa had concrete pebbles and wires below, only villas near shore had good views and good water underneath 4) villa tub was leaking, upstairs handheld shower didnt work 5) kids only ate free inside the restaurants not with room service, their menus are poor and limited 6) everything from food to activities was over priced, allow 30-40% extra above price of stay for food and activities (this is without considering alcohol as we dont drink) 7) found a few dead cockroaches in the villa 8) seaplane transfer was mismanaged and needed to wait 3 hours 9) overall not worth it and disappointing and felt like we were being taken advantage of 10) construction works were being carried out in the villa next door with drilling and banging at prime swimming time (late afternoon, sunset time) 11) mandatory Christmas dinner (500 usd per person) did not include beverages and was a buffet
