We like to keep ourselves to ourselves on holiday with peace and quiet - however we need not have worried too much. Private Lounge - when we arrived at... More

Despite the title to this review, we managed to have an enjoyable stay at Lux*, as we were spending Christmas there with some friends and decided to not let the irritations cloud our stay. We feel that Lux* should be compared on a like for like basis to other resorts in the Maldives, especially since it is billed as a... More

This was our 4th trip to the Maldives, we've been to many 4 to 5 star resorts in Mauritius, Seychelles, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. We were not disappointed, don't pay attention to those who critize this hotel, they...

I was a bit concerned about insects, but the resort is sprayed daily which seems to keep things under control, however I managed to get quite badly bitten, even... More
