This was our 5th visit to the Maldives and our first time at Amilla, travelling with our 6 year old and 18 month old children. Amilla exceeded our expectations in all areas, the 2 bedroom beach villa we stayed in was very large and worked perfectly for our family. The private pool was also a good size compared with other resorts. The F&B offering was really important to us when deciding which island to visit and we enjoyed dining at all the restaurants during our 12 night stay. The standard of food and the service experienced was consistently high. We opted for the all inclusive package and the quality of the wines included was surprisingly good. We were very pleased that our favourite gin (Monkey 47) was also available at a small extra cost! Our 6 year old loved his time at the kids club and the range of activities was varied and interesting. Our 18mo also attended kids club for a couple of hours each day with a babysitter (Ishu - she was really lovely!). Ishu and her colleague Zaina also did evening babysitting for us which worked well and we were happy leaving our children in their care. For us what sets Amilla apart from other resorts we have visited is the warmth of all the staff members, particularly towards our young children. Our butler Bella was brilliant with them, going above and beyond to interact with them and make them comfortable. He was available at all times to deal with any requests we had and to drive us around the island. He really did a fantastic job! The GM was always visible around the resort and seemed to be very much on the ball! We would love to return to Amilla next year however we will watch with interest what changes the new management/ ownership implement. Whilst certain areas of the resort could do with a little upgrading, we are apprehensive about what the change in management and planned changes/ construction will mean for the guest experience. Hopefully the overall ambiance of the place and key team members, which make Amilla special, will remain unchanged.
