We arrived after 10:30pm and were met by a staff member who took us to the shuttle. We were welcomed with cold towels and guava juice, and our 4:30am resort transfer, wake-up call and breakfast pack were all arranged. The room was small but clean and tidy, with a balcony overlooking the mosque, so we could hear the call to prayer (some guests may not like the early morning call).

non abbiamo provato la colazione causa partenza del volo di mattina presto. Ci hanno tuttavia preparato la colazione da asporto. Personale gentile ed efficiente, servizio navetta puntuale e comodo.

The staff were extremely helpful, organising our shuttle to and from the airport. They also got our room ready several hours before normal check-in because we arrived into Malé very early. Our room had a great view, lots of space, a fantastic shower and comfortable bed. Dinner in the rooftop restaurant was delicious, and the location was excellent. We would recommend it.

The breakfast they provided was odd. It was sandwiches with white and brown bread and a unfathomable filling, dry cake and fruit. It was kind of them to organise it because we had to leave very early in the morning, but perhaps they could think about a more tasty alternative for future guests. While we were at the hotel and having paid in advance, I also had a WhatsApp message from a Brazilian company claiming there had been a problem with my payment to the hotel. I knew this wasn't the case, but this company had my name and details of the hotel. I was baffled, as to how they had got this information. I contacted the front desk, and they just said it was a scam (which I knew already). I also found it impossible to report this to Booking.com.

Staff were very pleasant. Charon was very helpful and friendly.

Its location was noisy when trying to rest due to its proximity to mosques for prayer times.
