Hyatt Maldives review
Park Hyatt Maldives is truly paradise. The journey here is quite long but once you get here, you are greeted by amazing staff. From the moment we landed in Male airport, the moment we landed on the island, everyone was extremely happy to have the opportunity to welcome us. The staff went out of their way to make each moment special for us, especially since we were on our honeymoon and expecting a new born. The thought and amount of detail that they put into planning our stay was incredible. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and genuinely happy. Shoutout to Shamin, Monica, Fernando, Kelly, and Wally for being amazing humans. We look forward to coming back soon, and highly recommend this resort!
In depth:
After landing in Male, we were greeted Hyatt staff member, who helped us check in for our domestic flight, and explain the next steps. They even granted us entrance into the airport lounge for some snacks and beverages. After landing at our next domestic stop, we were once again greeted by another Hyatt member and helped us to the dock, where two other Hyatt staff members were waiting to take us on a short 30 minute boat ride to the island. They provided some delicious mango juice with some coconut cookies. Such a nice gesture.
When we arrived on the island, more staff was there on the dock, excited to greet us as we entered Paradise. we arrived, and they were kind enough to skip the check in process and took us straight to our room where we were pleasantly surprised with a nice upgrade to our room.
From there, the real magic begins. We were assigned a personal host by the name of Shamin, who amazed us by the amount of pride he took in his job. He graciously helped me in planning a few surprises for my wife, including a nice message on our bed, a surprise cake that was colored pink to represent our future baby girl (wife is 17 weeks along), and a nice private dinner to end our final night.
- Golf simulator: 7/10. The simulator was extremely accurate and easy to set up. The staff had a set of clubs, and even gloves to use. Took off a couple points as the bag was missing 3/5 woods and had about 30 courses to choose from. I shouldn’t have been golfing anyway and only did so as the wife was getting a massage. Nice option to have though if you get the golf itch
- Vidhun Spa experience: 9/10
- wife received a 90 minute pregnancy massage from Putri which she rated a 10/10. The staff was extremely accommodating and she went back for another massage from Putri!
- Only complaint here was that on the website, they mentioned that they cannot accommodate for late arrivals as this would push the next guest back and asked that you arrived 15 minutes before. Unfortunately the guest before my wife was late, which resulted in her massage starting 15 minutes after her scheduled time. Slightly out of the control of the hotel, but they are so nice that I can see them having made an exception for the previous guest. Wife would definitely do it again!
- Lucky dolphin tour- 10/10
- Snorkeling 10/10
- Kayaking 10/10
- Gym 9/10
- Entertainment: 10/10
- Food: 8/10
