Meliá Whale Lagoon Maldivas

Everything was phenomenal - but the real standout was the staff. They were absolutely lovely and welcoming - it truly felt like home!!

Have no negative things to say

Truly beautiful setting and place to stay. Staff are amazing, beach villa was out of this world!

Unfortunately we both had stomach upset during our stay. This was a shame as overall both restaurants were very good with plenty of choices.

The location, the spa, the staff at the spa, sunset over water (was expecting a full view of sunset but it was actually to the side-felt a bit ripped off over that- a better explanation would suffice) The buffet needs help, food was mediocre, Breeze Bar needs help , customer service there is awful, wanted to sit at the bar and was actually kicked out by the bartender one evening about4pm while waiting fir my luggage to arrive on the late plane about 430pm-5p. Then at 12noon next day, only one guy manning the bar, he was bartender and server, i felt awful for him as it was busy time, everyone wanted drinks at that time. Jet skiing was too expensive, even the USA would not charge that exorbitant price of $300+ for 30 minutes. On the plus side, kayaking was part of all inclusive and free. The singer and guitarist could sing a more upbeat songs rather than sad heart broken songs

See above The mini bar needs help, a can of chips and chocolate bar, 1 Carlsberg beer and the rest sodas. Don’t drink sodas . There’s no wine or hard liquor (the mini bottles). TV needs update, consider internet tv

The staff were very pleasant and helpful, rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard and mini bar replenished. Having travelled to the Maldives a number of times, it is always a great location. Villas on the beach, nice pool area and spa.

The food was poor, such a mixture of food groups and often cold unless you had food from the grill which was cooked fresh. Fully understand it must be difficult to cater to various nationalities, but still made meal times uneventful. Sadly, hotel did implement dress code for dinner, which was disappointing. Other guest were extremely inconsiderate, cutting lines to order food, no pleasant requests to the chefs either. Guests on their phones whilst eating taking video calls and this was every evening, taking the ambience out of the experience. No consideration for other guests around them - very disappointing.
