I can't comment on the other two, but I've never stayed in a more intimate hotel:

Utterly fantastic - ok we weren't spoilt, but we could just relax and then enjoy the best food and drink. And for a great price.

I've stayed at Legends. Wonderful people to look after you and unlimited free watersports! The rooms were lovely but not the most luxurious and I think that there are probably better (more luxurious) resorts on the Island BUT..... I'd go back again in a heartbeat.

About €1200 for the two of us for 7 nights. Including transfers, meals, drinks. That includes a blow out €200 anniversary meal.

If you decide to book - ask for room 1, it's the most private wink

That is a good price! I upgraded to Biz Class when I went to Legends but it was £6000 for 2 for a week!

yeh looked into bus class but Emirates economy is allright for us as planning to stay over in Dubai to break it up a bit

looking at about £5500-6000 all in for 10/12 days.Hayes and Jarvis looked after us well last Oct in Maldives but 'aint looking so good this year..........must be on beach ie hut,beach,sea,bar usually in that order..the only downside I can find to Legends is the beach is not great?

The beach is a little strange. The strip furthest from the sea (the bit all the sunloungers are on) is very fine sand - perfect. But then it gets quite course and there is a stretch then of about 15 feet going into the water where it's "muddy". The actual dry part of the beach was lovely though..it's shallow but long so never felt crowded at all. There was wall to wall free "local" champagne (which was actually very good) delivered to your recliner whenever you wanted and a lovely outdoor restaurant as well as the main restaurant.
