Review of the Anantara Dhigu in the Maldives.
The Anantara Dhigu is a short 30-minute boat ride from Malé. The resort is located in a giant lagoon with two other resorts. Anantara Veli and Naladhu. The Anantara Veli is considered the honeymoon island. Children are not allowed on this island except for dinner. Guests from Anantara Dhigu are welcome to use the facilities on Veli, enjoy the restaurants and vice versa. Naladhu is the private residence island and guests from Anantara Dhigu and Veli are not allowed over there, however, guests from Naladhu are welcome at Anantara Dhigu and Veli. To get around to each island, they have complimentary pontoon boats that will take you there.
Overall, the Anantara Dhigu was an amazing resort. That lagoon is just remarkable and the rooms are beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and service provided. I would highly recommend the Anantara Dhigu to anyone planning on visiting the Maldives.

    I’ve been trying to decide between these two hotels and I am still undecided lol. I do not like the white umbrellas at the bucuti and I wish they would change that, the Palapas like they have at Manchebo give a cozier more Caribbean feel. I do like the thoughts of adults only and the updated at bucuti but I like the thoughts of the tropical feel at Manchebo so I’m still trying to decide

    We stayed at the Manchebo and walked over to B&T to check it out. It had way too sterile a vibe for us. Manchebo is much more tropical and relaxing-feeling. For the record, the Manchebo is not cheap. It’s actually one of the the most expensive hotels in Aruba.

    Still 5 stars in our book ! Please do not believe what she says here coz really not the case. Lets be fair :) We been going here since they first built it and if you want everything for free then go to an all inclusive vacation place :).. You just need to do proper research on when to go so it is not crowded and what you can avail of etc. anywhere you go worldwide they nickel dime you but here in Maui there are amenities for free and all you have to do is ask and they staff will always hook you up ! Alot of folks leave gear behind and the staff keeps them for other guests to enjoy :).. Why ask for towels when you can do laundry in your villa ? Detergent is free just ask for it. We kept our beach gear and re use it yearly and never rent or borrow etc. we cook our own food and bbq onsite for free and just go to the grocery store for what we need at Foodland or Safeway nearby. We eat out on good places too and pig out on where the locals go. You obviously went to the tourist areas and yes it is expensive because everything is shipped in to the island. Ask the bell hop team coz they know where good cheap food is !! LOL ! I suggest you really plan where you go and do research so avoid bad experiences but doing a bad review is not fair :( In your situation, I think you have to stick to the all inclusive vacation resorts like the riu in Cancun so you do not spend any money at all on your stay. Aloha and mahalo :)

    Great review. Most of Maui (and Hawaii in general) is about "nickel and diming" the guests. A condo is a must with BBQ grill access so you can make your own meals. Costco is always our first stop when we land. We buy steaks, potatoes, vodka, mixers, lunch meat, etc. Also, BYOB unless you're ok with $12 (plus tip) drinks made with bottom shelf spirits. We just got back from Maui last week and made the mistake of staying at the Hyatt (hotel, not condo). Big mistake. $800 per night and $20 previously frozen cheeseburgers. Want fries? Add $5. Big rip-off. Never again. Bottom line, go to Hawaii for the beautiful surroundings, not the food. You may find good restaurants, but they come at a heavy price. OK for a special occasion, but that's it. Also, always expect crowds. It is Hawaii and it's beautiful.

    I think your review fails to mention the important fact that the Westin Oceana Resort Villas is primarily a timeshare resort. People buy time there. They get a week or more every year. They bring their families. We don't get charged extra for towels or room cleaning. Most of us own our own snorkel equipment or you can rent for any number of places around Maui for a very low price. It's easy to get a free lounge chair around the pool. Families can save money dining out by cooking in their unit or using any number of free outdoor grills around the pool. Of course, if you vacation in the middle of summer there will be families and kids. During the school year the resort is much quieter. It sounds like for what you're looking for, you would be better off at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.
