We had a great stay at Radisson Blu, Maldives. The property is only accessible by sea plane and is beautiful. We stayed here for about a week and enjoyed every bit of it. Our guest host Mahmoud was very friendly and approachable and helped us with everything needed. Also special thanks to Akmal and Maty for the amazing service.

Sajith Sajith is an exceptional chef who went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten intolerance. Each night, he prepared special meals to ensure I was well-fed and satisfied. The mixed seafood grill he made was absolutely the best I’ve ever had! His attention to detail and care truly made our dining experience unforgettable. Maty Maty’s warm hospitality stood out every morning and evening. His attentive and friendly service ensured every meal started on a positive note, making delicious suggestions for the mocktails! And great spots on the island to go snorkelling! I truly appreciated his effort to make us feel special. Sobun Sobun was remarkable with his impeccable service and attention to detail. He remembered my gluten-free requirements to pass to the chef (Sajith), and always greeted us by name. His kindness and professionalism made every dining experience smooth and enjoyable. He really made our whole trip so much better than it already was just down to his personality! Thank you for making me feel so welcomed and included! Read less

Honestly has the best trip ever and was made to feel at home by all the staff. In particular 3 members of staff really looked after us. Maty was so kind and spent time explaining things to us about the island and all the things we could do. He provided us with the tastiest drinks and he’s such a smart guy! Breath of fresh air honestly.. thank you to him for his hospitality. Soban was equally as kind and made all aspects of the trip really comfortable for us. He made sure my wife was also comfortable And that she had all the dietary needs catered for. Again we looked out chats and enjoyed staying back after and talking to him.. Sajith is an amazing chef who didn’t disappoint when it came to the food. He didn’t need to go out of his way to make sure the food was ok but he did and we really appreciate it. His seafood platter was the best thing I have ever had! Super tasty and made with care! He also showed us the sharks which we appreciate. Thank you to all the staff but in particular these three amazing men! 👏🏽 Read less
