I am very satisfied with this trip. The scenery of Maldives is unsatisfactory. I enjoyed the most perfect journey at the InterContinental Hotel, which was amazing. The meals at Umi Cafe are very delicious, with a wide range of choices from breakfast to dinner. You can definitely eat dishes you will like. The spa is also very comfortable, so comfortable that you don't want to leave. The butler's service was perfect. We also saw many different ecology on the island, including small sharks, stingrays, and various cute little fish. The Villa in the lagoon is particularly beautiful, large and comfortable. Overall, it's a perfect place that makes people want to travel again. Read less

After months and tons of research, we finally choose to stay at IC for our maiden trip to Maldives. And it was the greatest decision ever! From the moment we landed till our departure back to the airport the IC team was there every step of the way. The journey of the sea plane and the boat to the resort was seamless and we were greeted by the IC team with an authentic Maldivian welcome. Our Experience Curator assigned to us Mira was the BEST, very kind and accommodating to our every need thru out our entire stay. The entire staff on the resort was amazing (including the in-house doctor that I had to go see) and ensured that our stay was a very pleasant one. Management team was present too everywhere we went on a daily basis. Though there was minimal interaction with them, they were very approachable if there was a need to get their attention which I fortunately did not have to do at all. There was a few of the IC staff member that we bonded more closely during our stay. This includes Masood, Sweety, Jocelyn, Cindy, Min Kam at the restaurants, at the airport/lounge Shafiee, Iyaz, and at one of the most amazing spa with the most amazing views: Nicky and Nita who were highly skilled masseuse that we went twice during our stay. Everyone at the Marine centre was also great and amazing, taking good care of us during our Manta Ray excursion, special thanks to the captain of the boat during our excursion (8th July)taking of my daughter who stayed on the boat cause she was seasick. Gareth for ensuring I was well after my episode of sea-sick on the boat after seeing the Manta Ray and of course Aslam who was our guide during the excursion. Even pre-departure, while sorting out our stay, the IC team communicated well thru Whatsapp and email communication. Always very responsive and full of suggestions. This was one of the reasons why we decided to choose to stay here. Our family of 3 opted for the all inclusive package and this was well worth the price. The food and drinks was amazing in all restaurants from breakfast and lunch at Umi, dinners at the Lighthouse and Fish Market. Menu was surprisingly quite extensive offering us with a lot of choice to choose from for our a week stay at the resort. Chef kisses to all the chef and their team in all the kitchens restaurants. Plates were always warm, food was prepared only upon order, quality was at its finest at every meal. The views, oh the views - I have no words, it is indeed a slice of heaven on earth. Beauty of the place is indescribable and something that everyone should witness with their own eyes. Resort was well maintained, very clean and practices sustainability very well. We choose the Lagoon Pool villa that gave us the Ocean View on one side and the Lagoon view on the other side and once again I am beyond words to describe the beauty of the place. It is evidenced to us that everyone working on the resort works hard to ensure that every guests has the best experience during their stay and for this we would like to thank every one on the IC team. It was a truly a dream come true. We hope to return one day, insya Allah. Read less
