From the pickup at the airport to the drop off at the airport the Standard staff were friendly and available at all times to answer any questions. Zainu, my host, was always reachable and gave me daily updates with the activities available. My over the lagoon bungalow was spacious, with sun on the private deck/pool. It was nice to be able to get into the lagoon directly from my deck. I took 3 Zumba classes with Mikey (2 on land and 1 in the pool). This was my favourite of all the activities I did. Mikey is a great instructor; his class was not only the best workout I had in months but also the most fun (I typically workout 4-5 times a week, so that is saying something!). I left each class feeling good and in a better mood than when I walked into the class. I enjoyed the snorkelling excursions, the night snorkelling was an especially neat experience.

First of all, the sea was incredibly beautiful, with crystal-clear water that was perfect for snorkeling. Our villa provided more privacy, and the pool was just perfect (we stayed in the lagoon-side beach villa, which offers more privacy compared to the ocean-side villas that have less privacy but are closer to the sea and more ideal for snorkeling). The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was wonderfully spacious. The food was delicious and offered a great variety. The hotel is also child-friendly. We really enjoyed the activities, especially the sunset fishing, which was a lot of fun, and we caught plenty of fish. The staff was exceptionally helpful, making our stay worry-free! We appreciated how well-organized our departure from the hotel was, with assistance all the way to check-in at the airport. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Noise from young children. Limited lunch options. Shame we couldn’t collaborate on social media realms and travel blogs. Perhaps we can arrange it formally for next year!

Location and outlook from water villas was perfect. Water villas are very large. Island is beautiful and well maintained. Snorkelling reef excellent.

Wonderful place, very nice food, nice staff only complaint there is no AC on restaurant, so during lunch time you have your meal sweating… apart from that the resort is AMAZING

Some of the food was overpriced and the wine list could be a whole lot better in terms of quality for the prices.

Incredible breakfast buffet. My family stayed in the over water villas and had the best time

Great vacation at the resort, the staff were always polite and attentive, the room was clean and well-structured, the food was delicious and varied every day. Great variety of drinks. If I return to the Maldives in the future, this resort will definitely be on my list as an option.

The gym equipment was quite limited.

Beautiful island and super friendly staff. We loved the food, the amazing beach, the water sports and the evening entertainment (with two very good movies to watch under the stars and a great DJ on a couple of occasions too). The tennis court is pretty good too, although best to bring your own racquets as the ones available onsite were very basic. We all enjoyed the bikes to move around the resort.

I have been coming back to the Maldives every year for the past 10 years. Of all the places, this one had everything I missed elsewhere. Excellent reef, very good location, no breakwater in the water in front of you, and the value for money was surprisingly good. We stayed in an overwater bungalow with its own jacuzzi, which was a special experience. Usually other resorts with similar conditions cost twice as much. What I also really liked was that the separation from the neighboring bungalows was better than elsewhere, because the partition extends over the water, so it is completely private, your own little house, no one can see you. The overwater villas are very well designed, because they lean inward, which also contributes to the feeling of privacy. The room is large, the bathroom is very large. You don't need to bring diving equipment, there is one in each room that you can use. The food is delicious and varied, the staff is very kind and caring. Our personal assistant was also always at our disposal for everything, special thanks to Poula for that! I would like to point out that if you don't like walking, you can use free bikes or order a golf cart to any point on the island. The island is not that big, you can walk around it in 20-30 minutes, it is nice and clean and well maintained.

No Complaints but perhaps some of the coral around the resort was harder to get to.

Overall the resort was amazing and exactly like a picture postcard with clear clean white sand and crystal clear lagoon. The service was impeccable, especially from our host, Powla who was at hand at anytime we need some help or advice. The resort offers amazing food buffet and facilities and all you could want for an amazing stay. I had a 6 month old and they went out of their way to help us settle in and make it easier for us during our stay. Only regret is that we didn't go All inclusive and went for half board but perhaps next time. Would highly recommend The Standard to anyone who wishes to experience a taste of paradise!

Summing up the core aspects of our experiences at The Standard Hotel: - Beach Villas are spacious and amazing - Beaches are outstanding and the lagoon is cristal clear / ocean shines in all kinds of turquoise and blue - Food is delicious - Dive school is very well organized and equipped - Dive sites are really good - Staff is friendly and helpful - Babysharks and rays can be seen close to the shore / in the lagoon - It feels not busy even in main season Overall, the island / hotel is very beautiful, clean, well managed and maintained. Very much worth a visit…

The Villas can look better from the outside.

We had a great experience at this resort—it offers excellent value. We stayed at The Standard for 3+1 days, then spent two days at Heritance Aarah (all-inclusive) before returning to The Standard for our final night. While Heritance Aarah was nice, it lacked the value that The Standard provided. The Standard was twice as affordable, with a better buffet for both breakfast and dinner. They also arranged our transportation to and from Aarah Island, making the transition seamless. Overall, we had a very positive and friendly experience and would highly recommend The Standard for its value and service. The staff was excellent, and the kids' club was so enjoyable that the children wanted to stay longer.
