We stayed at the beach club, which is just a short walk from the main hotel. You can use all facilities of the main hotel. The room is very comfortable (balcony a bit small). Staff of the hotel is excellent! Both the staff at the reception, cleaning of the room and kitchen are extremely helpful and friendly. Food (buffet style) was included in our booking and every time we looked forward to this. You won’t be disappointed booking this accommodation!

The location of the accommodation is close to the beach. We walked for 2minutes and we were at the crystal clear waters of Thulusdhoo. The attendant Harry was the best. He was at the port to receive us and on the day of leaving he made sure he saw us off at the same port. He also was ready to help us locate good eateries, he was simply the best friend we had in thulusdhoo. The accommodation is near the mosque, I was able to hear adhan from my room and was able to attend magrib congregation prayers. Locals were very welcoming. Excursions organised by Harry were very affordable too.

We had an unforgettable week at Rihiveli Residence. The experience was simply superb! The staff was incredibly attentive and hospitable, always ready to assist with any of our requests. The room was spacious, with a stunning view of the sea, and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Overall, the experience was mixed. The positives included the cleanliness of the room and the convenient location of the hotel near the beach. We enjoyed excellent service at the hotel restaurant, where culinary masterpieces simply amazed the imagination. And how they celebrated my birthday, you have to see it to believe it. We will definitely come back here again and again!

What is there not to like about Kandima? The staff, in particular Sarah, Anoof, and Azeez were all amazing! They went above and beyond to make us happy and comfortable during our anniversary trip! We were greeted right from entry at the jetty, and check in was smooth sailing, despite some hiccups with the arrangement of the seaplane, which was later addressed by their management, and 'corrected' by ensuring that we did not have the same issue when flying out of the island. Now to our actual stay.. The room was ALWAYS clean, the staff waited for us to leave, and would go in and make sure it's comfortable and clean for us everytime we got back to the villa. The villa itself was well designed with an amazing bed. The view from the water villa was *chef's kiss*. The water around us was gorgeous, the wind was refreshing, and the sun wash everything with a beautiful glow too! Jump off the deck (or slowly walk off the steps), into the beautiful blue and enjoy a nice swin or snorkel to see local wildlife swimming around. The food options were great too! Plenty of different choices, and a good array of choices for the buffet as well. It's very important to have good food when you're marooned on an island, and Kandima did not disappoint! There was also plenty to do, since they had shops, different pools, live band performances, and my favourite part: the sea sports center. Other than the rain, this place was awesome :)

Great location , Very good Value for money, Great Great staff, special thanks to Maheesh in Main Resteurant for his amazing personality and hospitality.. the welcoming from the airport by Ali Nisar and he also took care of us on our way back to the airport he was with us until the airline check in, it almost feels like he is a family member giving us a ride to the airport. The resort is really luxary level 5 stars, the food was really good (we booked all inclusive). We were with two children 6 and 5 y and they had a great time in the kids club. The guys their love kids and very friendly and their schedule is great, special thanks to the artest in the art studio Hubee for his above and beyond care for our children. The snorkling house reef tour is breath-taking and beyound words and highly recommended (snorkling equipment is complementary). There is a mosque in the island as well which is nice. It was my wifes birthday and they made a special villa bed preparation as a surprise without even asking, and even sent a cake to our villa.. the mosquitos in the island is surprisingly under control compared to other tropical locations (you can still get bothered by it but in a normal level). Yoga sessions unfortunatly is only three times a week and with prior reservation. (Free) .. I got the chance to attend one and it was very nice and the instructor was really good.

Mind blown away How can a post give this resort the proper review it deserves, I truly wonder but I’ll give it a shot so here we go. This was probably my wife and I 6th vacation spent at luxury resort across the Far East /Indian Ocean area, even the Mediterranean and hands down this is by far the BEST most memorable vacation we’ve experienced so far and credit goes entirely to the brilliant service we’ve received. Not only were the facilities and water villa we stayed at impeccable and beautiful but gosh the service we’ve received, the warmth of the staff, the attention to details, the fantastic tasty meals we’ve had - not a single food item we’ve consumed was below fantastic-. The attention and hospitality we’ve received from the resort resident manager Mr. Fernando was truly unparalleled. So friendly, professional and courteous we’ve decided to come back in 4 weeks! Shout out to Amir from the Fushi Cafe who made us feel so welcomed. We look forward to his lovely chats and seeing him again soon. To all of those perfectionists looking to spend a relaxing holiday with unparalleled luxury service, this is your go to resort. Don’t hesitate.

Maafushi was a big island.

Maafushi was a big island. I didn't like it because it was all under construction. It was a big construction site. Very big buildings which ruined the whole image of a small exotic island. I didn't feel like I was in the Maldives and it didn't offer me what I imagined. In general, be careful of buyers, they will try to exploit you and sell you expensively.

Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

We LOVED Dhiffushi!

We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

Ukulhas is not a tourist-friendly island.

Ukulhas is not a tourist-friendly island. Dangerous rip currents near the island have caused multiple drownings which continue to go unaddressed. The food across the island is inedible and prepared by untrained staff. The island is littered with trash and by no means lives up to its claim of an “eco-conscious environment”

You're a captivated audience on such a small island but there was more than enough to keep you occupied for the week. The food was excellent, the staff extremely supportive and I think that RIU have a near perfect arrangement for the 'all inclusive' experience.
