"Great views which was exceptional. The food was good but was not always hot. The toilets smelled in the room and there was building work taking place outside the hotel. That said, the people were lovely. Please also note there is no alcoholic drinks served on the atol and there is a separate beach for tourists and you must cover up as a female when going to the beach."

"Dusit Thani is absolutely a gem and amazing. This is my 2nd time here. First the butler and the staff are all very friendly. My original butler Naan even came by to say hi to us. Saleem our butler this time was helpful and easy to get ahold of. We had 24/7 Whatsapp access and he took care of everything for us including logistics for leaving, sea plane, dinner and activities. The house reef was spectacular. We stayed in a overwater villa again and it was well appointed, clean, modern. In pool breakfast and a trip via jet ski ride to the sand bar is a must. I highly recommend this resort"
