Maafushivaru Resorts

"Wonderful island hotel w gorgeous blue water, friendly staff, nice rooms, gym, beautiful views and more"

"Maldives experience at the best, However, food options in dining is limited compared to similar resorts. "

"Overall the stay was good. But the biggest disappointment was Mr. Mahmoud (Island host). Upon our arrival, Mr. Mahmoud was assigned to us as the Island host. We received zero support from him. Throughout our stay we had to reach out to different people to get guidance, information or support. Island host was not available. To one question, he responded after more than 36 hours. And then he never got in touch. Effectively, we were without an island host- which was extremely disappointing. This probably, would be the reason that we do not intend to visit Raddison Blue Resort Maldives again."

"This small hotel oozes warmth and friendliness. The staff is always on hand and ready to help. The rooms are well-appointed and clean. Great mattrasses on the beds. Incredible value for money. The hotel right on the beach and its private beach is the best on the island. The views from the room are gorgeous."

"Hotel has impressive gardens and grounds with lots of vegetation and flowers- so beautiful. Food was amazing, service was great too. Can’t wait to return."

"Great new property with a very professional and pleasant staff. The rooms are brand new and very comfortable and equipped with all you need. "

"Booked with South Ari Dive, who were a fantastic dive centre with everything needed for a perfect diving holiday. Great friendly service, superb value and local dive site knowledge. They took us snorkelling with Mantas during our surface intervals which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience The accommodation is in a local guest house (not at the dive centre but 2 mins walk away). We stayed at Manta which was basic but pleasant and comfortable. Recommend B&B basis as the restaurants on Dhangethi are cheap and convenient. Service was okay though English could have been better and would have appreciated our towels to be changed for clean ones a couple of times during a 9 day stay."

"Two things stood out: 1) Chef Ali's attentiveness to my gluten allergy. I was treated to bespoke meals (especially desserts) as well as gluten-free options made available at request. 2) The joy of the staff as they did their job, especially their efforts to upgrade me to the finest property available as a solo traveler. The conditions were pristine."

"What a fantastic experience! We stayed in one of the suites for our honeymoon and we will absolutely be back for our anniversary! "
