“ Still good but not as good as it used to be.

We stayed here a couple of years ago and it was simply brilliant then,
We arrived at this hotel via a stand in speedboat and not the really plush Ozen boat.
The hotel has not been updated at all since we 1st stayed and as a result you can see the tiring aspects of hotel and the water villa we stayed in. We had some really dangerous rusty nails on our steps going down into the sea from our overwater villa
as soon as we pointed this out the hotel took action to make this safer by covering with pieces of wood.
We also pointed out that the sunbeds on the water villas were not at all comfortable and were in places falling apart - again the hotel then sent over some more comfortable coverings to make them better, but all a bit "Heath Robinson"
There is sea erosion of the beaches where the beaches have been partly washed away this is in front of the beach bungalows where it was really clear to see.
The hotel is addressing some of these issues with a boat pumping sand from one part of the bay to another.
We had champagne in our room which was a non premium brand - Moet was served before.
The spa service is really good and the massages were so good but the girls are pushed to sell to you after each massage which is a bit off putting.
The staff in this Hotel are very obliging and the overall service is top level, it just feels now like typical shrinkflation - prices have gone up and what you receive has gone down in value.
All in all we still liked Ozen very much but were hoping that the Hotel had built on how great it was and not allowed it to slip too much.
Thanks for our Butler "Shark" who made our stay more enjoyable.
Also to "Anu" for his great service in the restaurant's where he was always very attentive to our table.

My wife and I originally planned our vacation 25 months ago, but Covid continuously pushed our trip back. Thankfully, Ozen was incredibly easy to work with in accommodating the changes.
We stayed for two weeks beginning on 9/25/21 in an overwater villa with an attached pool. The attached pool was fantastic! Starting every morning with a refreshing dip and enjoying espresso on the infinity edge was incredible; it's hard to have a bad day after that. The bed was very comfortable, and the ability to choose specific pillow styles went a long way.
The amount of diversity on the resort was astounding. When we first arrived, there were over 27 countries represented. The buffet had something for all of us. Getting to try cuisine from around the world was delicious. We ended up eating at the buffet for the vast majority of our meals because of how great it was. We were fortunate enough to go to the underwater restaurant for both lunch and dinner while we were there. Both had there perks: lunch time had much more visibility of the ocean life (fish, sting rays, sharks, a sea turtle, the works), but dinner had more of a romantic feel.
We cannot thank the staff enough. Everyone we met enhanced the trip in their own way. Baari, our butler, was a saint. It was amazing how responsive he was, no matter how small or large of a question it was. His brother, Muhammad, kept the facilities surrounding the spa and work out facilities spotless while always having a smile on his face. In the spa, we ended up having five massages each, and loved our masseuses so much, that we made sure to get them every time (thanks Ketut and Tari!!!). The gym trainers, Pooja and Nandan, were incredibly attentive and very friendly. They made sure the gym had a very welcoming environment. Everyone at the pool bar was terrific! Arjun, Parjwahl, Samh, everyone.
We can't recommend this place enough. Enjoy!

This is our 2 nd visit and dare I say better than the first! Our butler was shark who was massively attentive. All of the staff are wonderful happy and cannot do enough for you. All of the restaurants are amazing and even pull out the stops for a fussy eater. The staff at the spa are great and treatments are so relaxing I did go to the gym which is lovely the view whilst working out is a welcome distraction and the staff again are great. The meal at M6 was sensational and again the staff just make the place. Finally the manager at the gin bar gave us the most amazing champagne tasting session (yes fussy eater also fussy drinker) his knowledge was great. If the Maldives is on your bucket list then you really won???t be disappointed if you come here. Thank you everyone at ozen for being the best hosts. We will be back

Our experience of Ozen was excellent. I was travelling with my wife and 1 year old daughter. This is our first visit to any resort after the pandemic, so we naturally had some fears before we travelled. But our fears were overcome within minutes of reaching ozen. The staff just manage to smile and keep you relaxed throughout your stay. You are assigned a personal butler to help you through your needs 24/7.
Our experience, exceeded expectations. To begin with the hotel is only 45 minutes away from the airport by boat, so there is no need to taking any seaplane or domestic flight. The hotel boat works around your travel plans and ensures you are picked up and dropped off in time.
I found the rooms to be as good as every top 5 star hotel. Thier bathrooms were open air and exotic. We had a personal pool that was cleaned immaculately everyday.
In the earth villa we get a private beach as well which is clear, smooth and just serene.
the restaurants (all 5) had good food and the pool bar was open from 10am to 1am, making it one of the most relaxed atmosphere ever.
The hotel has many activities that can be done such as massages (excellent), diving, waters ports. The lack of a house reef is probably the only thing missing out.
The best thing about this report is it'd staff. I'd repeat the the butler assigned to you OS there for you 24/7 via WhatsApp and is responsive within minutes. The catering staff was so adjusting to our needs (small child, different food timings) that we were speechless. The best part is that they do all of this without any expectations of tips and rewards as is seen in most nation's. Here high quality service was the culture and it was what is the best thing about this resort.
If anyone is looking for a few days of a break to just relax, there is no better place to be than ozen @ Maldives.
A major shout out to our butler forty, the shefs Pankaj, Rishab, their catering staff lead by Ayushi, the pool bar manager, Manak, with Arjun and Hussain.
You guys made our trip the most. Thank you.
