“Could have done better. Management needs to be more in touch with clients.”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW via mobile

I usually do not write reviews before I leave a resort but I have to say that the W Maldives did not live up to my expectations for 1 important reason for me. The purpose of this trip was to celebrate my friends 50th birthday. I communicated this to the hotel before arriving. When we flew into Malé, the representative... More

Problem with this review?

It is disappointing to read that we did not live up to your expectations on this so special occasion. Unfortunately there were a miscommunication regarding your friend’s birthday and I am very sorry that we missed out on that. From our records, the lighting in your retreat was solved the next morning and I believe that our Director of Operations... More

“WOW”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Arrival: We arrived to Male airport and were immediately met by a W rep that was waiting for us right outside the gate. She expedited us through the long queue at the airport and we were in the W lounge within minutes. The lounge was quite comfortable! The seaplane ride was fantastic. We arrived at the W hotel after a... More

“Amazing”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Great hotel, restaurants and amenities. I suggest you get there by hydroplane. The views are amazing! The overwater rooms are clean and spacious and have a little terrace and pool. The reef is gorgeous and snorkeling is a must-do! The spa is great too!

Thank you. We appreciate your comments and look forward to your next visit! Jennifer More

“AMAZING RETREAT, WITH WONDERFUL MANAGEMENT”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

My husband and I stayed at the W Retreat & Spa, in April, as an anniversary getaway. Having been to the Maldives on other occasions (including the Hilton Iru Fushi and Baros), we knew to expect a gorgeous, secluded, romantic environment, but we were blown away by the beauty of the W and the expertise of its staff's management skills....

“Disconnect and unwind!”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

W spent almost a full week at the W resort which might seem long given the isolation you feel. But it is total relaxation and beauty. The service is outstanding and cannot be faulted. Although we have stayed at many places in SE Asia, this is the first place we felt as though we were in the "screen saver" location.... More

“Our best vacation in 20 years”: Such a compliment… We’re thrilled to read about your fabulous stay at W Maldives, thank you for your comments. We look forward to your next visit. Thanks, Jennifer More

“Perfect for any getaway couple”

Reviewed 24 April 2013 via mobile

Paradise on earth in every sense of the word. The Fish signature restaurant is fantastic, not forgetting watching the beautiful sunset at the Sip Bar just before dinner. Another highlight was the barby dinner in our Ocean villa. Nothing more romantic than ending the night watching the stars from our deck.... And if you're lucky, maybe a shooting star!

Thanks a lot for choosing W Maldives for your romantic getaway.. we look forward to your return. Jennifer More

From the moment you are met at Male airport and transferred to the W's waiting room at the air taxi area you feel pretty special. I had been so looking forward to staying at the W and it didn't disappoint me. The resort feels spacious and even though it was near full capacity it never felt it. We stayed in... More

“Best W hotels I have stayed in”

WOW is the word to use. I have visited and stayed in most of the W in asia and to name it, W Sentosa Cove, W Bangkok, W Taipei, W Hong Kong, W Bali and also visited the recent W Guangzhou, I would say this is the best I have stayed so far in terms of both "hardware" and "software".... More
