Superb resort. Nice property. Located near Male international airport. Awesome surroundings. Resort has something for all the age group. Perhaps the only place in Maldives you can find such an amazing indian cuisine. Above all very supportive staff. Hospitality at its best.

Had a really wonderful time there. Spent 2 nights and it was worth the money. My Island host Mahdi was really really helpful throughout my stay. Had the best time of Maldives at Villa Nautica Pradise Island. Would like visit again. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Villa Nautical was fantastic. I'm not a drinker so we didn't go for the AI package, and instead opted for the FB and paying for our own drinks. On arrival we were met by ERMY, she is absolutely amazing and catered to our needs for the whole holiday. We stayed for 13 days, 1st 7 were in the Beach Villa (252). These are nice little villas on the Sunrise side. They do need to be updated as they are looking a touch tired but never the less are really nice and the house cleaning staff are brilliant. The final 6 days (Ermy arranged) was an upgrade to a Sunset Pool Villa(119). This was stunning. Our House Cleaner Miraj was brilliant. A really nice guy who would chat to us about his family and ours and was an around nice guy and so pleasant. RENUKA and SUSONG in the bar were brilliant as were AJIMI and MANUKALA in the restaurant. Again it was great to talk everyday to the staff and really get to know them. What I didn't like was that "SOME GUESTS" naturally assumed that slavery still existed and the beautiful staff were at their beck and call and could be spoken too like dirt. I wish TripAdvisor could let the hotel do a scoring on guests as I'm sure this would be brutal. The food was fantastic albeit a little "samey" as we were there for 13 days but we made use of The Italian restaurant a couple of times and the food was superb. I do feel if you are there for an extended time you should on a FB package get a gratis meal in the restaurants outside of Ai Restaurant. Read less

Good day MRS Ermi You wanted me to describe my feelings after spending a few days at the Hotel 1. Meals for people who bought Al. Inklusive monotonous and tasteless. 2. Even in a 5-star hotel, coffee in the morning should be served by a waiter on a saucer so that the customer does not burn their fingers with a hot cup 3. Frying pans on which omelettes were made dirty and black, everything very dirty 4. Poor quality cold cuts 5. Water served in plastic bottles not opened in front of the customer which indicates that it is poured from the tap bad bitter taste 6. Ordered juice that is supposed to be squeezed is filled with water 7. Waiters as if they were slaves without a smile women smile like that 8. Price to quality raises doubts when it comes to meals 9. I lived in a bungalow with two separate bedrooms adjacent to each other no. 252 Living in this cottage a person also wants to sleep. Night time silence should be established from 11 PM to 6 AM . 10. In the cottage there should be a card written out what is due under Al. Inclisive and what we pay for 11. Returning by boat to the airport they serve water in bottles which they take back after arrival funny 12. I came to your hotel thinking about swimming on E folow or windsurfing equipment is missing or old worn out dangerous . Positive . Cleaning services very good staff tried hard Mrs. Ermi really professionally helped guests great job done in difficult conditions. Lack of appropriate body products against mosquitoes. At the pool bathers in clothes not suitable for bathing bathed and smoking cigarettes everywhere is definitely unpleasant for non-smokers. Thank you very much Mrs. ERMI for your help 8 and nice welcome and farewell Hotel Guest 252 Read less
