Westin maldives Wow I mean wow!!! These guys know GREAT SERVICE!! Everyone who works there went out of there way to make sure you are having a fantastic time. The manager there Vijay, met us on arrival. He has a very nice handshake. And through out our stay would make sure everything was top notch. He felt like a genuine friend. To Faizy who helped us get settled in. Went for a tour around the very beautiful small island. Their gym,sauna, steam room is fantastic. To the tennis court, and jungle gym. my husband absolutely loved it. I did not use the facilities( because I snorkeled the entire time) BEST EASIEST SNORKELING EVER EXTREMELY SAFE!!! The reef is right there you don’t have to swim far to see Sharks,sting rays,octopus,millions and millions of fish, helmet heads that live there 3 huge guys, tons of huge grouper one big one lives in a cave by the beach area close to the pearl, puffer fish, barracuda, dolphins I cant name all the marine life but it was like having my own personal aquarium right outside my door. We first stayed in a beach villa by the house reef then moved to an overwater villa. Overwater villa room 107 is where you need to stay if you want the ocean at your feet literally because there was a huge glass floor so you could watch the fish. So freaking cool. Plus it has a wrap around area and felt private. Now lets go back to hospitality Laurent the hotel manager and his team are the dream team. Deepak is the director of rooms and they all made us feel welcome and at home. Next up the food I was weary to join the all inclusive because of a bad experience in Jamaica but boy were we glad we signed up!! Breakfast had everything and more well seasoned and the eggs bene was my favorite plus the pastries!! Chef Min and his team are really doing it right. All of our dinners were fantastic. Lunch too!! Just love loved the food especially the indian asian/thai it was really nice to know that pretty much everything we ate was going to be satisfying. Next up DRINKS I could not believe the bartenders there could make my favorite drink ( they did it perfectly every time) just like I would make at home shout out to Harsha he was my personal favorite he would make my drink without me asking just kept bringing them!! (Ramos gin fizz is the drink) it’s a pain in the ass but he did it with a HUGE smile on his face. Lassis, Mohit all great too they just have the best people working there. Its like having a plethora of butlers even though you don’t get one. Because you don’t need one!! I cannot express my gratitude enough for everyone at the Westin. The crushed it. If you are looking for snorkeling,great food,beautiful rooms, and a team of people who will bend over backwards for you look no further book the Westin Maldives. I cried leaving this place 5 days was not enough. Oh almost forgot DIVING!!!! Iyann was probably one of my favorite dive guides we went to some really beautiful sites and he was so calm and chill we all stayed down for 60 m
