A beautiful hotel with exceptional cleanliness and outstanding hospitality. Ana, our personal concierge, provided top-notch service. My husband and I enjoyed our stay, although we found the Li Long restaurant a bit pricey for the portion size. However, the food was tasty, and the view was amazing.

The most amazing vacation ever! Such a perfect location with exceptional staff. Our concierge, David, was incredible — he made our trip even more special. He seemed to know exactly what we wanted and needed, always one step ahead. The service overall was outstanding, with someone always ready to assist whenever we needed anything.

We have just spent 5 wonderful days at Waldorf Astoria and I wish we could have stayed longer!!! So much to do here!! We stayed at a Grand Overwater villa and it was huge and absolutely beautiful. And the best part was the snorkeling right there. Such a beautiful reef!!! We saw reef sharks, mantaray, turtles and every kind of fish you can think of! david our butler was great. He took such good care of us!! The ladies at the kids club also lovely. The food was great! Yasmeen was my favorite. And our lazy days in Nava…. Can’t wait to come back!!! Hassan really looked after us as well. And Mohammed our Housekeeper plus everyone at breakfast. We are sad to leave, but are leaving with our hearts full. We will miss riding our bikes all across the resort each day. Thank you for such a memorable stay.
