Maafushivaru Trip

EXCELLENT POOL

Staff is sooooo nice and friendly ,very well trained and genuin friendly , all was perfect .

The resort was nice, staff friendly and beach was beautiful. The water villas were spacious and clean although a bit dated. The biggest issue Is the view. The entire island is surrounded by construction and an obstructed view. You do not get a true remote island feel as there are constant large ships passing. The obstructed view is worse in person than in pictures. I reviewed photos before and knew there would be obstructed views but it is a lot closer when you’re actually seeing it in person. It was a huge distraction from the vibe and resort. Unfortunately garbage island is real and is very very close to the resort. You can clearly and easily see it. There should be clearer messaging from the resort regarding the views to manage expectations. Staff were generally very friendly. The food was fine however, very restricted with time. So between breakfast, lunch and dinner if you’re hungry you are out of luck or paying extra for snacks. It would be nice if there was at least one restaurant or area that had a continuous buffet or food available throughout the day especially at the all inclusive price point. Wasn’t terrible but at the price point I was left disappointed. Again to anyone reading this I just want to stress that the view from every room and area of the resort is obstructed with construction, the waste management island and large construction ships permanently anchored very close to resort. Pictures make it seem further but in person is very close and disappointing.

Five stars is not enough, This was a little bit of paradise, I wish I could have had more Time Here! The staff are super friendly - from The airport greet staff, the boat team, waiting staff and the team that showed us around when we arrived - many thanks Mayiz. The resort is just a quick 10 minute speedboat ride from The airport and everything is divine - we stopped in a beachfront villa which is superbly equipped with its own private little pool, well worth the extra. The water is lovely, sand is beautiful and we captured some Great pictures and many happy memories. The catering choices were vast - but you can easily blow your budget on extras here! A wonderful Time here, somewhere I hope I can come Back to soon.

Had an amazing time on our Honeymoon here! The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. Snorkeling from our resort was also great — plenty to see without having to venture too far. Food was great everyday — the high tea everyday deserves a special mention. We also had a treatment at the spa, which was simply extraordinary, and I would highly recommend. Scuba at the Dive Shop is a must do IMO — I did a couple dives with Mansi, our instructor, which were breathtaking. Mansi is very patient and enthusiastic, and I look forward to being back to scuba! Midhun, our butler, was amazing and super thoughtful — it was super easy to plan and arrange reservations with him, and he always made sure we were having a good time! We also visited the clinic a couple times — Dr Praveen and his team are very kind and considerate, and checked up on us multiple times throughout our visit. Overall the resort was nothing short of paradise for our honeymoon, and I would strongly recommend it!
