Thanks for the reviews, as a matter of fact I had already read the ones in the Maldives. It seems that though you call the FS KH a real gem, your review doesn't sound you found it great.
Am I correct? It's just because I have booked it and I am little undecided if I should keep the booking as it is very expensive and I wonder if it's worth it.
Thanks

he agreed with Ericka that FSLG is MUCH better, and gave additional comparisons. although he did also say this about FSLG >
The only disappointment was the bar over the lovely lobby. It reminded me of an Elk's Club Lodge with 1970's furniture.

Thanks for your replies. I can get at the Anantara , booking through Crown Tours in the Maldives:
Beach front Pool Villa (double) on Bed & Breakfast basis only = US$ 473.00 per room per night
Over Water Suite (double) on Bed & Breakfast basis only = US$ 561.00 per room per night
These rates are inclusive of all taxes.
What do you think Kagehitokiri? Thanks again for your help

Remember is the KH is a small resort and the rooms don't really offer a lot of privacy. The FS tries to offset this by saying that the resort has a 'Maldivian Village' theme and that part of the experience is interacting with other guests. But I prefer to NOT interact with other guests when I am on holiday, so this was not a plus for me. Also, remember that while the resort hides it very well, it is in a very commercial and crowded area. After being at LG and feeling like there was nothing around for miles, going back to KH and seeing all of the other islands was a bit of a downer.

Sorry for the confusion. The FS KH is a real gem but just suffers in comparison to the FS LG. FS KH is just much smaller and the location is not nearly as good as FS LG. As I said, spend a night or two at FS KH and more time at FS LG!
