Beautiful Honeymoon
Ali
Wedding couple

We stayed in Hilton Maldives Resort for 8 days in a Beach Villa.
The Villa was enormous and had everything we needed - including a fabulous outdoor bathing pavillion.
The beach was drop-dead gorgeous and we were thrilled with the service. Staff came along the beach to clean our sunglasses and offer us cold drinks regularly.
We really enjoyed eating at a different restaurant every night. That was one of the reasons we chose this resort because we love our food and wanted to try different dining styles each night. The dinner in the wine cellar was particularly good though the food wasn't world-class it was certainly very very good - especially considering the location.
We also recommend the snorkeling here. We'd never seen anything like it despite snorkeling in Fiji, Thailand and Australia. The fish and coral were amazing.
Highly recommended for an indulgent honeymoon. It's not a Robinson Crusoe experience - you are very aware that you are staying at a large 'label' hotel branch but the location is more than you could wish for.
