Good Points

Staff were very nice but a little shy of speaking English. Buffet choices were great and the swimming pool is fab. really good bars and great live acts in the evening.


Bad Points

Choice of veggie food very poor especially at the main restaurant at lunch. Only offered pasta as a daily option. This is not a lush island. It's really scrappy.


General Comments

Full Moon classes itself as a five star resort. I would say it is more 3 star to be honest. There is a lot of plastic decking around the island and it has a real artificial feel with paving around the island. There are garden areas and these are very well maintained. It is a long and narrow island and quite close to Male so you can get to the capital quite easily. Reception staff have good English and the excursions are good fun. I especially enjoyed the Glass Bottom boat ride.
But the room was pretty grim to be honest. Very dated decor which I cringed at. Very 1970's. I also checked out the staff village and I was pretty appalled at how crammed into the rooms the staff were. There 16-20 to one room that I saw which upset me quite a bit. I was told that other resorts only have 3-5 to a room. So to be honest I felt they were pretty exploited. I would rather go to a resort where the staff were treated well and were I got value for money in the future.
