We had a fantastic family trip. With our kids, we found this resort to be very family-friendly. This was our first visit to the Maldives, and we chose St. Regis based on reviews praising its excellent snorkeling and service.
The snorkeling experience was by far the best we've had—better than Bora Bora, Bali, Thailand, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. The service exceeded my expectations in every way.
We booked five nights in an Overwater 1-Bedroom Suite (4-person capacity) instead of an Overwater Villa (3-person capacity). The suite featured a king bed and a day bed.
Upon arrival, we were taken to separate private vehicles and provided with cold towels and WIFI codes. A 10-minute ride brought us to the new 5-story seaport terminal, which houses lounges for all resorts in the Maldives. Butler Shabin greeted us and escorted us to a lounge where we waited for 90 minutes until our seaplane was ready.
Shabin shared a custom welcome video from our butler, Akram, which we greatly appreciated. He also offered us a menu with light sandwiches, snacks, and beverages.
The flight to the resort took 45 minutes.
We received a warm welcome from a dozen staff members and were given complimentary coconuts. Akram introduced himself, and I didn’t realize at the time how integral he would be to the success of our trip. Our room was ready immediately, and we were taken there by cart.
Akram gave us a tour of our room, which included a fruit and chocolate arrangement. Breakfast was complimentary as an Ambassador benefit, which I estimated to be a $200 daily value.
The restaurants met the brand's standards. While there were no ultra-extraordinary moments, there were also no major disappointments. We were satisfied and appreciative.
The staff was exceptionally friendly. Shabin was helpful at the arrival lounge, and Akram went above and beyond all expectations. When our full-face snorkel broke while we were in the water off our back deck, I texted him, and we had options within 10 minutes. He checked on our
