The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort

Brianna Graham

My husband and I decided to visit the Maldives to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. We stayed at The Westin and from the second we arrived, the staff made us feel at home. Everything from the staff, to the food, spa, was absolutely incredible! We have visited 11 countries so far and this trip exceeded our expectations and was truly a dream. The entire staff was amazing but the two we worked with the most were Ayaan and Sandeep who made sure everything we wanted (restaurant reservations, spa treatments) were scheduled without any complications. We fell in love with this resort and cannot wait to go back!

The service at this hotel was above and beyond. Upon the sea plane landing I was greeted by a group of staff that were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They graciously upgraded my room from a beach front villa to an overwater villa and the service for the stay was impeccable. The villa was also very spacious and gorgeous. The only downside was there were only a couple of food options and they’re were somewhat underwhelming. Definitely didn’t go for the food, though. And it was reasonably priced, especially compared to another hotel I’ve stayed at in the Maldives. I definitely recommend the Westin as a great place to stay!

I wish I could say our honeymoon at The Westin Maldives was the dream getaway we had hoped for, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. From the moment we arrived, we were met with disappointment. The island itself had very little to do, leaving us bored with almost no entertainment or activities. The restaurant options were extremely limited, and to make matters worse, the food was subpar—bland, overpriced, and far from the quality expected at a supposed luxury resort. Our room was also a huge letdown. It was poorly maintained, with noticeable stains on the furniture and lifted baseboards on the deck. For a resort that markets itself as a honeymoon destination, the experience was far from special or relaxing. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, especially couples looking to celebrate a honeymoon. Save yourself the disappointment and book elsewhere.

high season에 6박을 묵었고, budget traveller이기 때문에 비치 빌라를 예약했습니다. titanium이지만 over water villa를 제공받을 수 없을 수도 있다고 생각했지만 Simad가 저를 도와줬습니다. 오버워터 빌라가 기껏해야 30개 정도나 될까 하는데도 불구하고 가능한 최선을 다해 도와주려고 했고 원하는 방으로 2번의 이사를 통해 이동하게 되었습니다. 단순히 방을 업그레이드 받아서 고마운 것이 아니라 체크인 당시 제가 남겼던 저의 request를 잊지 않고 매일 저녁 제 투숙이 만족스러운지 체크 하는 전화를 걸어주었으며 제가 언급한 모든 사항에 대해 피드백을 해주어서 더 고마웠습니다. Simad는 저의 몰디브 여행을 최고로 만들어주었고 Westin Maldives는 Marriot Bonvoy Elite Member를 존중해주는 호텔입니다. 매우 추천하며 저 또한 당연히 다시 방문할 예정입니다. I am a very straightforward person and only write reviews when there is something truly worth mentioning. This review is written voluntarily because I was deeply impressed by Simad's service. It was an extraordinary customer experience. I stayed for 6 nights during a very high season (Asian Thanksgiving Day), and being a budget traveler, I booked the room at the best possible rate. Although I am a Titanium member with Marriott Bonvoy, I thought I might not be able to receive an over-water villa upgrade, but Simad went above and beyond to assist me. Every evening, he gave me a phone call presenting the best available options, and I ended up moving to my desired room twice. (I think this resort only has 30 units or slightly more of over-water villa. Not many) It wasn't just about receiving an upgraded room; Simad never forgot the requests I mentioned during check-in, called every evening to check if I was satisfied with my stay, and provided feedback on every detail I mentioned. This made for a truly touching experience. Simad made my Maldives trip exceptional, and the Westin Maldives is a hotel that respects Marriott Bonvoy Elite Members. I highly recommend it, and I will certainly visit again. + extra comment after staying 4 more nights. I want to thank you all. With Simad, I found more staff who are working from the sincere ❤️💙💜💖💗💗💘❤️💙💜 Sorry that I cannot name all but i am gonna write down as much as I remember. First of all, Fikree, thank you for your sweet gift. I will never forget your sincere hospitality. And Shafy, you are so sweet person. I can definitely feel it that you are really enjoying your job. You made me burst in to 😢tears because I can felt your honesty. I bet, you will became a great hotelier in the future because you always welcome from your heart to every guest you meet! I am so sure we will meet again. Thank you. Shakeel gave me a room tour and good comment. I asked too many things with my big curiosity but you said that's the reason you travel. I was so touched and impressed with your reaction. In addition, I went to see the doctor twice because my bf has back pain and eye sight problems. She was so nice and welcoming. I know it is not good to see her again, but when i came back there another issue. She also did a great treatment. Everyone, no worries when you have some medical issues. There is a good doctor here in Westin. Also, Laurent and Rohit. You two always stayed near us try to find if we need something. You guys suddenly come to help us whenever we were in the trouble. And chef Min, your homemade Kimchi and Shin Ramyun made me not to miss my country. That is absolutely true! Finally, I really wished to remember his name, but the gentle Maldivian guy in the restaurant. It is impossible to pick each one because everybody here is really helpful. I am so sure I will be here again! I have already given some recommendations to all of my friends! See you soon everyone!! Thank you!!!!!

My husband & I have been picked up in Male Airport & after a short flight we arrived in Westin with a very warm welcome. The first & the most important thing, if you arrive and something doesn’t fulfill your expectations, don’t talk with the front desk, go to the island kitchen area which you can find the management team and speak it out. They listen very carefully & will make it happen. What you should know about this resort: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! There is a team of professionals which their job is finding out your wishes and making them true! We booked a beach villa for 4 nights & a water villa for 3 nights. The beach villa with the palm trees, the birds & the colorful lizards around was wonderful for photography and I recommend it to the family with children. For us it was a bit loud with the playing children from neighboring villas. In the beach villas you have the absolute privacy, outstanding ocean view and the fastest access for snorkeling 🤿 If you are into fine dinning, go for à la carte and don’t do the buffet. The menus of the Hawker & island kitchen restaurants are just outstanding, the chef even makes your own menu. In general the resort is extremely clean. You can see the staff cleaning non stop. If you are picky about the cleanliness just talk to the housekeeping Management about your concerns and wishes. After talking to Athar, I’ve got the sparkling clean level which I thank him a lot and specially the outstanding service of our housekeeping staff Yasin. If you are into water sport, go immediately after your arrival to the dive center and check the activities. We’ve had diving, private turtle snorkeling and few fishing trips which they were the absolute highlight of our trip. The water sport/ fishing team are just excellent in their job. Big thanks to Amir, Yasin, Isse, Imlaah, Captain Firag, Briana & Sasa for the great job. They are excellent in their profession & also all have great personalities. Don’t forget to go to the spa, the girls are doing a fantastic job! Go for wine tasting & and the cocktail in the sunset terrace. Again big thanks to the whole Westin team for making our trip more memorable and special! My congratulations to Laurent, resort manager for building up this great team with the best attitude in a wonderful & nice atmosphere. We highly recommend Westin & will definitely come back again!
