It was our first time in the Maldives and we did a lot of research before finally settling on a resort.. and Park Hyatt was a great choice and exceeded all expectations! From the moment you have your stay booked, a member of staff will start emailing you the details, and making sure to prepare any special accommodations or requests for your stay. My package had flights and speedboat included, which the staff booked it for us. As we land in Velana International airport on Malé, we were greeted by a Park Hyatt representative, who took our luggages and guided us to the domestic airport. This is the start of when my brain will not be needed this whole holiday (lol). The rep checked in for us, gave us our boarding passes and then brought us to the airport lounge where we enjoyed a light breakfast buffet and rested while waiting for our flight to board. There was no need for us to keep check on the flight times and the rep will come and pick us up and bring us to the boarding gate. When we landed in Kooddoo Domestic Airport, another Park Hyatt rep was there to greet us. He did our baggage claim and took us on a buggy to the speedboat. We were greeted with welcome drinks and the staff on the speedboat explained the safety rules and our expected arrival time. As we arrive to Park Hyatt, we could see a group of staff waving their welcomes to us. We left the boat and onto the Jetty, to be greeted with the warmest of welcomes by several staff members! From there, we were taken to our Villa, about 4 hours earlier than our expected check in time! This made us very happy because some hotels are very difficult about this, but Park Hyatt will happily welcome you into your "home" if it is available immediately. FOOD AND BEVERAGE: We booked a full board package and thought we would be left hungry as previous experiences we had hotels trying to upsell a lot of the meals and drinks. Not Park Hyatt, you will be spoiled with the variety of cuisines! The meals came in big portions (just the way we like it!), and we were always left feeling satisfied and full. We brought some snacks to the resort and didn't even eat it. We had an all inclusive beverage and enjoyed all the fresh juices, especially the fresh coconuts from the island! For breakfast, we had a full buffet and 2 items from the ala carte menu inclusive. My favourites were the chai spiced chia pudding, smoothie bowl, Mashuni, and their homemade coconut yogurt! Oh, and can talk about the AMAZING pastries? compliments to the pastry chef because those pain suisse, pain au choclat, croissants, cruffins, danish were all deciously flaky, warm, crispy, buttery!! For lunch - we particularly enjoyed the truffle burger!!!! We're usually not so basic and love going for different cuisines on holidays but one bite of that truffle burger and there's really no going back! The soft shell crab tempura also deserves a mention. We had dinners at the Island grill most nights because we love grilled seafood and saw tha
