The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort

beautiful island let down by operational gaps It is not easy to write this review, but we hope our feedback will help improve the experience for future guests. The villas are showing their age but are still comfortable. However, a few issues affected our stay: Gym: The air conditioning was not working, which made it very difficult to use the gym during the day, when temperatures are highest. Activities schedule: The printed weekly schedule did not match what actually happened, and several activities did not take place as listed. Communication: We often had difficulty communicating with staff, and information was not passed on between teams. This caused us repeated inconvenience. Breakfast: The selection felt noticeably more limited than at other Marriott properties we have stayed at in the Maldives, such as Le Méridien and JW Marriott. Kids Club just a name. People operates 10 to 12 and 2 to 5 Elite recognition: As Marriott Bonvoy elite members, we did not receive the welcome or recognition we have experienced at other Marriott resorts. On a positive note, two team members made a real difference. Hassan was attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The marine biologist was truly passionate about marine life and helped us discover the best spots around the island. Thank you both.

My wife and I had a wonderful holiday staying at an over-water villa that was spectacular. One of the best rooms I have ever enjoyed. 180 degree view of the Indian Ocean was so memorable despite the monsoon weather. Service and staff was very attentive and everyone was friendly. A special call out to Ita who was made my wife and I feel very special and arranged a customise Indonesian meal. We would like to call out the PADI dive centre and especially Jose for his warm, personal and professional diving services.

Our honeymoon at The Westin Maldives was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. The exceptional service made it all the more special. A heartfelt thank you to Pravesh, Aiman ,Manoj, Rohit, Len, Lucy, Anupam, Alberto, Amol, Jinan, and honestly, everyone across the resort who went above and beyond to make us feel so welcomed, cared for, and special. Every day was filled with beautiful experiences, incredible food, snorkelling, delicious cocktails , and simply taking in the breathtaking paradise that is the Maldives. 🌊✨ We want to wholeheartedly thank the entire team for giving us such a deeply beautiful and unforgettable experience. We leave with wonderful memories and so much gratitude. 🤍 Thank you for making our honeymoon truly extraordinary.

We are a couple from Taiwan, and we are so glad that we chose the Westin for our vacation. We would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the ocean. We stayed for six nights, and not a single day felt boring. The resort thoughtfully offers a wide variety of activities and facilities, including both complimentary programs and paid experiences. Our villa was located in an area with an amazing coral ecosystem. Simply snorkeling right outside our room allowed us to see countless marine creatures, including reef sharks, eagle rays, parrotfish, and many other colorful fish that we could not even name. The underwater world was truly breathtaking. The food at the restaurants was also excellent. Hawker was especially impressive, and the dishes were as good as some of the Thai and Indonesian restaurants we have enjoyed in Taiwan. Island Kitchen offered a great variety of food choices. We enjoyed the Indian curries several times, and a Sri Lankan chef named Manbeen kindly introduced us to the characteristics of different Indian curries. It was a very fresh and memorable experience for us. The fitness center was also very convenient and well equipped. We used the treadmills, played chess and table tennis, and the recreation manager, Santo, even taught us how to play tennis. It was a lot of fun. At the diving center, Jose from Ecuador took us on two dives. He was extremely kind and always paid close attention to our diving conditions and safety. He seemed like a person with many interesting life stories, and we would have loved to hear more about his experiences. Unfortunately, our English was not good enough for deeper conversations, but we are still very grateful to him. Afnan from the photography center is an incredibly talented photographer. It felt as if we were taking our wedding photos all over again. Her work was truly stunning. We purchased several digital photos as keepsakes, and every single one of them is worth cherishing. In addition, every staff member here was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Whether it was Ita, Dutta, the two Indian gentlemen serving at Hawker (we are very sorry that we forgot their names), or Rohit, all of them made us feel completely at home. This trip would not have been the same without all of you. In short, we highly recommend this resort for a honeymoon. We truly ate well, moved well, and slept well, and every detail here was simply well done.
