It was an amazing vacation! More than a month has passed, but bright and warm memories still keep me warm. Check in was quick and with a big surprise! Instead of a beach villa I was offered a water villa. At first I doubted, but then I was very grateful for such a gift. If your goal is privacy, then a water villa is what you need. Main advantages: 1. You will really have privacy. 2. The sun terrace with their own private space to relax with direct access to the lagoon. Two steps and the whole water world is under your feet. 3. Free access to a la carte restaurants (Dinner in an Italian restaurant right on the sand by torchlight with prosecco and tiramisu. It's a delight!). And so it is possible to enumerate ad infinitum. The island is very beautiful and full of green and flowers. When you walk along the beach or along the paths, you get the feeling that you are in two parallel worlds. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and ready to help you with any questions. If you are relaxing alone, believe me, you will not be bored😊. If someone thinks that the Maldives is just a beach and snorkeling, then he or she is greatly mistaken. The recreation program is so varied that you can dance incendiary at the party, and watch the national Maldivian dances and spend a wonderful evening in the bar enjoying live music. And finally, my vacation would not have been so complete if I had not taken the risk of going to private yoga classes. This is worth it! For a person inexperienced with yoga and meditative practices, this was a revelation! In just a couple of classes, thanks to Aditi, you begin to feel your body and your mind is filled with calmness and clarity. I highly recommend individual classes to everyone, especially when they take place on the sea edge with a sunset view😊 Thanks to all management of the hotel for the high level of service and the feeling that the guest is the most important here!

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Amari Raaya. Everyone went above and beyond to provide the most superb service. Upon arrival, the representative Zaha already waited for us at the jetty while we were approaching. Her proactive approach truly made a positive impression by assisting us with seaplane transfer and even contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition on the way back. The entire team at Amari did everything to create a memorable stay for us, from Buggy service Nalaka who could remember our names to Housekeeping Saain who made the room twice a day as well as did an amazing job on the bed decoration for my parents anniversary; from All Day Dining restaurant Mr.Himanshu and Mr. Haleem and their team to Ampers&nd’s Egptian staff who showed outstanding hospitality and attentive care. The environment is extremely beautiful. We could even snorkel near our water villa. Food has a great variety especially a good combination of Asian cuisine and international gourmet food. We feel that the value received is on par with what we anticipated. Front Office Mr. Ali and his team’s dedication in ensuring our satisfaction is evident in each interaction, making us feel like valued guests and part of the community. Any enquiry is dealt with in a timely manner. I’d also love to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Mr Haleem, Mr. Himanshu, Julius, Adi from all day dining; Nalaka, Sajid, Thooif, and everyone from Buggy service for providing such convenient transportation which has made getting around so much easier under the sun; Amir, Kero from Ampers&nd Sunset Bar who are so genuinely kind and friendly; Our island host Achala who made reservations for us to ensure a hassle free vacation; and many other staff’s names we can’t recall. Our experience at Amari surpassed our expectations thanks to its exemplary cleanliness, upscale decoration, and most importantly, outstanding hospitality. It was really touching to see everyone came to the seaplane platform and said goodbye. We highly recommend guests seeking a luxurious with attention to detail to consider Amari Raaya.

I’m actually still here for the next 2 hours. The week has neither raced or dragged. There are possibly a couple of dozen niggles that I could mention but, they really are insignificant. The island invites everyone to believe the blueness of the sea, the fantastic weather and the dipping of toes into the feel of exclusivity. Our 7 days have been with around 30 minutes social media, no TV, 100 pages of a book and pure bliss. The set up, the wonderful staff, the other people on vacation (from all around the world) and the trivial conversations that are throw away. The stars are the sea, the sky, the entrance by seaplane and/or speed boat, every hermit crab, shark, ray, flying fox, the myriads of reef fishes. Each grain of white sand a pleasure to walk on. Sadly, thanks go awry to all of those. That leaves the thanks to the wonderful staff in every department. Every one excelled. It does come with the caveat that having found paradise, everything else falls woefully short. For us, it’s goodbye for now as, we have every intention of returning as frequently as we can with a minimum of once a year. If you’ve reached this part of the review, look at the bank balance or credit limit and book. You won’t regret it.

The hotel is especially praised. There is a Chinese hotel waiter, Miss Sister, so it is very convenient. When booking, I have a honeymoon, so the hotel room is also ready for a honeymoon gift. Hahaha is very intimate. Come and return with the hotel manager’s deliberate Welcome, the ceremony is full, the inner flight and the speedboat are also very convenient, it is completely worthy of this price.

The trip and stay in Reethi Faru will remain unforgettable in our memories. There was nothing to complain about. We only booked breakfast, which turned out to be right for us. So we were able to eat in one of the restaurants on the island every evening. With full board or all inclusive, dinner would only have been possible in the main restaurant (buffet), or in one of the other restaurants only for an additional charge. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned properly. Coffee, tea and water are refilled daily in the room free of charge. Room service twice a day, which we didn't use because we put ”do not disturb” on the door after the morning cleaning. The staff are without exception courteous and helpful. We also spent a lot of time in the diving center (we got certified). The management of the diving center is under Swiss management and it is precisely this Swiss quality of reliability that is demonstrated.

The room is not big but it is sufficient. Let me talk about what I am not satisfied with: 1. Free snacks and drinks were provided in each room during the stay. On the premise that the housekeeper and cleaning staff gave tips, no snacks were provided on the second day of stay. After the housekeeper helped to coordinate, the hotel insisted that it had been repaired, as if I was dishonest. Although the items were small, I would never give in on matters of principle. I continued to negotiate with the housekeeper, and finally made up for the snacks that were originally supposed to be there. 2. Most people may take the sand first and then the water. Everyone in the sand house has a pair of flip-flops, but they don’t have them in the water house. No one ever reminded me of this. I thought I would have new ones when I moved to the water house, so I didn’t bring them with me. Fortunately, I brought my own flip-flops. 3. This is not my first time in Madai, but it is my first time to see big cockroaches in Madai. In the restaurant next to the water house, a fierce little beast swam quickly through the gaps in the placemats, scaring me and screaming without any preparation. The waiter in the restaurant turned a blind eye. It wasn't until long after I changed tables that someone who seemed to be in charge came over and said sorry to me. Also, some of the placemats are a bit sticky, so I don’t know how often they need to be cleaned. 4. One day when I opened the faucet in the water house early in the morning, it was filled with dark brown liquid. It took me a long time to recover before I remembered to take a photo as a souvenir.

Our honeymoon at JOALI Maldives was an absolute dream, made even more special by Nouha, our amazing jadugar. The resort is breathtaking—every detail is beautifully designed, blending luxury with nature. From the stunning overwater villas to the lush surroundings, it’s pure paradise. The entire staff is professional, kind, and attentive, but Nouha truly stood out. She’s so thoughtful and caring, always surprising us with personal touches and making sure every moment was perfect. JOALI is the ultimate destination for a romantic, unforgettable getaway. Thank you, Nouha and the JOALI team, for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever!

The environment of the resort is very good and the sea water is very beautiful. The facilities are perfect. The staff were friendly, we booked your room with breakfast and dinner included and were very pleased with the meals. Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling equipment are free. I have seen many resorts before, and these are charged. All in all, this stay was a very pleasant experience. The only regret is that when we checked out, it was said that we had consumed snacks from the minibar in one of the rooms. Fortunately, we took a photo when we checked in and provided it to the front desk to prove that they did not put this snack at that time. I hope the hotel can learn from it. Avoid such incidents from happening again.
