The staff were incredibly welcoming, always ready to

assist with a smile. The snorkeling was exceptional, and I loved the overwater villa. However, the restaurant reservations felt excessive, limiting our flexibility to dine spontaneously. Overall, it was a memorable experience that left me yearning to return.

We loved our stay in the Ocean Overwater Villa with Private Pool! The sunset cruise was magical, sipping cocktails while watching the stunning Maldivian sunsets. A perfect family getaway.

In my wife’s opinion, the food options for kids could be improved. A more varied kids' menu would be great for picky eaters.

Strongly recommend for a short weekend trip

Beautiful villa, gorgeous terrace, which made our stay incredible with stunning ocean views and easy access to snorkeling right from our private pool.

Nothing, all was good.

Our honeymoon was magical with fantastic snorkeling, and the staff surprised us with a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach. Every meal was an experience, and the personalized attention made our stay unforgettable.

Breathtaking views from the private pool area.

Great kids club, but the beach could be cleaner.

Ocean Overwater Villa with Private Pool offers stunning views right from your room. The private pool adds a luxurious touch, perfect for relaxing after a day on the water.

Food options really miss the mark, especially for a place classy enough to call itself a 5-star resort. Breakfast lacks variety, the 'fresh' seafood tastes frozen, and ridiculous charges for basic items like poolside breakfasts feel excessive. Additionally, the all-inclusive package has hidden costs, making it a challenge to stick to budget without checking every menu closely. Housekeeping does a decent job, but missing mini-fridge restocks is frustrating during a long stay. The bike-sharing system feels unorganized, as you might end up hunting for a set instead of having easy access.

Just returned from an unforgettable three-night stay! The snorkeling was out of this world, and dinner by the beach was a magical experience. Sunset at the bar was also stunning. Would definitely go back!

Everything was perfect. The service is amazing, starting from my host Fawwaz who was always attentive to Lama at the Guruduga and Shawwaz at the Kula restaurant, all of them are amazing.

The Standard Maldives offers breathtaking views and fantastic dining options, especially the delicious Maldivian cuisine. While some staff members were incredibly attentive, a few others seemed less enthusiastic, and we encountered some issues with inter-resort communication. Overall, it was a memorable experience worth every moment.

gorgeous water villa, clear lagoon waters, beautiful beachfront

It would have been great if they offered speedboat transfers!!! Also, the food quality at the buffet left much to be desired. more care in the dining experience would have been appreciated!!!

The food was absolutely amazing, especially at Guduguda where the veggie options were delish thanks to sous chef Prasanna. Plus, the staff made us feel at home, from the attentive bar crew at Toddy's to the warm hospitality from our hosts. An unforgettable experience that left us wanting more!

Also, there’s a bit of room for improvement in the housekeeping side. some little details were overlooked.

The facts without the fluff

An unforgettable paradise! Seamless seaplane transfer greeted with friendly staff. Ocean Overwater Villa was stunning, with a private pool and breathtaking views. Snorkeling right off our deck revealed spectacular marine life. The culinary experience was superb, especially fresh seafood. The staff's hospitality truly set this apart from other resorts. No complaints, just pure bliss!

The decor blended natural elements with vibrant colors, creating an inviting atmosphere. The resort was easy to navigate, with accessible paths and attentive staff readily available to assist, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone, including seniors.

More indoor activities for bad weather would be helpful.

my stay at the standard, huruvalhi maldives was incredible! the ocean overwater villa with a private pool was stunning, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. the staff, especially shaah, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. the indoor hydrotherapy playground was a standout feature that I loved!
