Overall amazing property, staff, food and facilities. We had an incredibly relaxing stay with lots of beach and pool time and at least an hr per day of great snorkeling. Makes sure you make your way all the way out to the edge of the reef where the drop off occurs as it is spectacular with tonnes of fish and coral We had a beachfront villa without pool (which wasn’t needed) and it was amazing. So clean, large and well outfitted. Our housekeeper was there everyday with a huge smile on his face and left us fresh fruit and cookies each day along with the best towel culver when we left Awesome resort!

A place to stay in Maldives

The place was well kept; the water villa we stayed was excellent maintained; two specialty restaurants provided real fine dining experiences and the food were beyond expected;buffet breakfast was ok and all the employees there were always ready to assist the guests ; the only issue was we had to take a local flight from the international airport to the local airport which took about 50 minutes, the travel time was not the issue because most resorts (99%) needed to be transfer to, we had a flight from Maldives to Dubai at 11 am , we needed to check out at 4 am in order to catch our international flight, having said that, the resort did the very best to accommodate us which I totally agreed and understood , overall, I would recommend this resort to anyone who likes to explore and experience the natural beauty of Maldives!

Perfect holiday

We were staying in a overwater pool villa, and our stay was perfect. The resort is so beautiful. Staff were all extremely polite and professional. Food was excellent. The only down side is the location of the resort which is another half day of travel from Male but it was worth it.

Customer service was great, everyone was super friendly and were always making sure we were not missing anything. What probably took this away the opportunity for becoming a 10/10, is the cockroaches at the room….for multiple days we found small cockroaches all over the room (the bathroom…the shower, even our bed). Even some friends we made at the hotel, later told us that they had the same situation (these were overwater villas). We let the front desk know and they said they were going to put poison in the room, but these just kept showing up…

Resort lussuoso e molto curato in tutto e per tutto. Le ville sull’acqua sono stupende, specialmente quelle con piscina e lato sunset (numeri 300) Attenzione che esiste lo stesso resort anche nell’isola di Dhigurah, ma è di qualità inferiore e più di massa. Lo sconsiglio. Quello dell’isola di Falhumaafushi è sicuramente più chic, elegante ed esclusivo. Lo raccomando vivamente. Una nota di merito speciale va al ristorante gourmet Falumaah con al sua cucina francese eccellente. In ogni caso a Falhumaafushi il servizio è sempre eccellente e sono tutti pronti a soddisfare qualsiasi desiderio del cliente, anche il più bizzarro. L’arredo delle ville è curatissimo e non mancano pezzi di ottimo design italiano. La cucina è eccellente anche al Beach Bar così come i suoi cocktail perfetti. Insomma è tutto perfetto, ma se qualcosa non vi piace la cambieranno apposta per voi a vostro piacimento. Bellissima esperienza. Unica pecca: è molto distante da Malè quindi non si può raggiungere con idrovolante, ma con volo interno normale. Peccato. Per il resto davvero eccellente.
