Why guests love itWith six restaurants on site, mealtimes stopped being a negotiation with our picky eight-year-old, who settled on Turquoise's more casual menu most nights while the rest of us tried Riviera and Tabemasu. The villas spread across Thilamaafushi gave our kids room to run between the pool and the beach without us losing sight of them for long. The dive centre also meant my partner could book a proper dive while I stayed with the kids on the house reef, which isn't always possible at smaller resorts.
