One single word describes this place - superb. From the moment that you are met at the airport to the point you are dropped off at the end of your visit, the attention to detail, service and genuine warmth of the staff is exceptional. From the hotel's own lounge at the airport onto the luxury boat transfer (with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, drinks and the feel and luxury of a private jet) to the arrival and to be met by your own Butler (ours was called Shawuad (please forgive my spelling) and he was outstanding; making everything happen seamlessly - nothing was any trouble). The hotel and facilities are absolutely focused upon the customer's needs, be it sports, food or just relaxing - we made the most of the Spa (standout for my wife was Nandan her Yoga Instructor), snorkeling with sharks, scuba diving, fishing, and a sunset cruise - all delivered in a highly professional way. The M6M restaurant is simply out of this world - be it the underwater experience or the superb food, wine and service. We stayed in an Earth Villa - with just a few steps to the crystal blue sea and a beach that was almost uniquely ours (in spite of the resort being full) - it was just idyllic; we were thoroughly spoilt by the service provided by Robal (our 'house attendant'). Particularly impressive was the service provided to my Mother who cut her toe - having sent a message to our Butler asking where to get some antiseptic cream we had a doctor at the villa 4 mins later (without charge). Finally the food - i have eaten all over the word and in all sorts of places but this is head and shoulders above all else - the Duty Manager daily during our stay was Hafeem who was just so attentive. In summary - we have been simply blown away by the experience and can't thank the Ozen Life team enough - just superb. Read less

Our family just returned from our third visit to the Maldives, and this was our first stay at OZEN. We chose this resort after reading a random review praising its all-inclusive dining as exceptionally good. Initially, I was quite disappointed with the underwater environment, but ultimately, we were thrilled to spot sharks and numerous fish right in front of our water villa. I had chosen this resort specifically for the shark tour, but I ended up quite upset as I was the only participant, and the tour did not happen by the time we left. Although I was angry, I recognized that it wasn't the resort's fault. True to expectations, the food was excellent, particularly the Chinese restaurant, which was genuinely exceptional. The highlight of our stay was our butler, Marzhan, who seamlessly compensated for any shortcomings at the resort. She took great care of us throughout our stay and even facilitated a late check-out by moving us to a villa, allowing us to rest comfortably before our flight back to Paris. Marzhan’s exceptional service made our vacation truly memorable. If anyone is reading this and planning a visit to OZEN, I highly recommend requesting her as your butler. As we dream about next year's vacation, my family is already eager to return to OZEN, a testament to our satisfying experience. Read less

Mr.A.J thank you very much for a good honeymoon thanks to you. We have returned to japan safety. There is cleaning twice a day and food replenishment once a day. Transportation around the island is available by bicycle or by electric car driven by the staff. There are several restaurants for meals, and they are very well stocked. The underwater restaurant is especially recommended. Snorkeling, dolphin watching, and other events are also available. We enjoyed it very much even though it was during the rainy season. Read less
