This was the best vacation I’ve ever been on. Our room host, Kumar, was absolutely lovely from the minute we stepped off the boat to the island, he greeted us and treated us like old friends. All the staff at this resort are first rate. Especially at the aquatic center, Tufshir and Luca to name a few, and the amazing boat crew like Hussein and abjal. The amazing water sport instructors Nabha and OppoThe staff at the resort are the most well trained, professional, well-educated, and generally friendly people. I have not had a single bad experience at this resort and will definitely return. I’m grateful to have had this experience. 100% recommend. And the most beautiful sunsets. Read less

Our host Mr. Kumar was fantastic and extremely helpful and very informative Everything he planned, he sent reminders and also went out of his way to get us things that were not available at the resort. He constantly checked on us and made sure our stay was perfect. He checked us in and helped a lot in checking out

Amazing family trip

We had an unforgettable stay at this Maldives hotel, and our experience started the moment we landed. Upon arrival at the airport, we were greeted by Rammah, who was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and polite. He held a sign with the hotel's name, guiding us to the hotel’s exclusive lounge at the airport extension. The lounge was a lovely surprise complete with comfy Lazy Boy chairs, clean restrooms with showers, and a beautiful view of the seaplanes taking off. They also offered delicious snacks, making our wait even more enjoyable. Afterward, we were escorted to the seaplane, which took us on a scenic 50-minute flight to the island. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a boat ride to the reception, where we were welcomed with traditional drum music, cold towels, and refreshing drinks a truly warm and hospitable introduction to the resort. Each guest is assigned a personal villa helper, and ours, Kumar, was outstanding always attentive and willing to assist with anything we needed. The restaurant team was exceptional, with Chef Fady standing out as particularly remarkable. He was not only incredibly talented, but also warm and friendly. The food he prepared was some of the best we’ve ever had both Egyptian and international dishes were made to perfection. The Italian chef and live pasta station were also fantastic, ensuring that the food was always fresh, creative, and varied. The quality of the meals exceeded our expectations, with amazing service from the waitstaff, particularly Mohamed, Khaled, and a lovely lady from Tajikistan. They always went above and beyond, even preparing dishes off the buffet when requested. The water activities were another highlight, with a wide variety of options and an amazing team. The two gentlemen who assisted us, particularly the one who loves Mohamed Salah, were fantastic. We enjoyed kayaking, glass-bottom boat rides, and snorkeling, with free equipment provided by the resort. Snorkeling was incredible, and the views were breathtaking. The resort’s cleanliness was impeccable thanks to the dedicated housekeeping team who kept everything spotless. The Maldivian women responsible for maintaining the paths and roads were especially friendly and welcoming. In addition to the thoughtful touches like bamboo slippers, umbrellas, bathrobes (even for kids), and raincoats, the resort surprised us with cute sea turtle teddy bears and personalized water bottles as souvenirs. As part of the all-inclusive package, the minibar was stocked with free refreshments, and the band provided wonderful entertainment, making it easy to relax and enjoy the evenings. Overall, this resort is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and hospitality. The service, food, activities, and attention to detail were exceptional. We left feeling truly spoiled and can’t wait to return for another visit! Read less

The bed for the honeymoon

Emerald Faarufushi resort & spa is really good at eating and drinking all the time. The service was so good!! The island is not too large but the environment is so good and so tidy. It takes about 40 minutes by water from Male Airport The usually arrange one for each of the island's six restaurants Our Villa host Elite is very gentlemanly and patient. Every night, he asked about how the day we went and every morning, he also sent the itinerary of the day again Fresh and free lobster noodles at Mediterranean restaurant 😊 Staff on the island greet each other on the way There are also some paid activities on the island, such as deep-diving 🤿 water sports seabob, motorboating 🛥️ and spa We were lucky to see sharks and turtles on this dive and the instructor was patient enough to pull us to safety If you're on a honeymoon, a lot of them come with a package that's a lot cheaper and a bed arrangement There's room service twice a day and if you don't need it, you put up a sign and no one will bother you You can snorkel on this island and there are a lot of small fish sea cucumbers in front of the water house Really highly recommend this island is very cost-effective!!
