We spent 4 days at Shangri' La and 4days at six senses Laamu - a brand new resort that just opened 3 weeks ago and cost 3 times the price of Shangri-La however was only half as good. I would definately recommend Shangri-La to anyone. We had a private beach villa and had 2 children and were perfectley comfortable. Kids loved the pool and private beach. Service is impeccable in comparison to the Six Senses resort where we were waiting hours for room service and a long time for any service at bars and restaurants there. Shangri-La was definately the better hotel and also had great snorkelling experiences there. The reef is spectacular.
