Kottefaru Trip

Absolutely fantastic stay- we were met at Male airport and looked after to our flight to Ifuru Island which is outstanding. All the staff looked after us with extreme courtesy and were extremely welcoming. Everywhere was very clean and cared for and the food very variable and to a high standard. Snorkelling was amazing we saw fish/stingrays/reef sharks/turtles/ resident heron. On our return we were met again at Male airport and looked after and helped to check in for our flight home. Cannot recommend this Island strongly enough ! ALL the staff were very dedicated and very hard working and so sorry can’t remember everyone’s names but very much felt a warm/friendly/family atmosphere. Shout out to: Monika, Tharaka, Sara, Diva, Donni, manager of waterfront(sorry don’t know name), Shiyaau, Basse, Pradeeb, Shiva, Raazan, Juli, Ahmed, Fraish (sorry if spelt wrong - captain of Komomo) thank you to everyone for a very special holiday

The Kagi experience was brilliant from the welcome at the airport before transfer to the island. The transfer to the hotel was an amazing journey and the staff welcome with drinks beautiful. The room was extremely big and that mini bar wow!!, bath tub outdoor including extra shower, now that’s luxury encoded. Had the same housekeeper, what an amazing young man. The food was beautifully made, restaurant staff well mannered and interactive. Thumbs up to the chef🫶.Had my nails redone and massage at the Spa with beautiful ladies. Samira thank you 🙏 for always being attentive and a text away. Sanjita mad love to you for putting up with a million questions. Massive thank you for the birthday surprise cakes. You are all amazing ❤️

Highly recommend this place.

Stunning hotel, very family friendly. My kids (age 6 and 10) both loved the kids club, which was very clean and staff were all lovely. So much to do on the island from bowling/arcade to go karting. Spa had a nice atmosphere with lovely treatment rooms with the sound of crashing waves, but it wasn't the best massage I ever had. Service at the restaurants was a little disappointing but the buffet restaurant had good food options for breakfast. One thing thy need to improve is having better kids options and ice cream as part of the buffet. For the price being charged, it didn't always represent great value for money. We did B&B, tried all the restaurants and then went half board for the last few days. Lunch by the pool was better value for money and the Deli had great coffee/milkshakes/protein shakes which we all enjoyed. My biggest frustration was lack of communication from staff. This started before I arrived when I was trying to book internal flights, and when we were leaving, they didn't tell us our internal transfer flight time had been changed. There was also a lack of communication around events happening around the resort that were not advertised on the Kandima App. Transfer time for internal flight was incorrect, fliht was at least 50 mins and boat transfer 45 mins with mini Bus in between. The hotel overall was amazing, and I would happily go back, but just hope they improve their communication so the whole experience is a lot less stressful.
