Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Incredible local reef that you can swim to right off the island.
Friendly staff, and decent food.
Italian and Thai restaurants are great. Buffet is very good for dinner, but not too many options for breakfast or lunch.
Would happily come back, especially for the immense sea life."
"Exceptional hotel with the friendliest of staff from the ones that greet you initially with a cool towel and a drink all the way to the staff on reception and those who clean the rooms. The hotel is ran fantastically.
The rooms were beautiful especially the sea view deluxe triple with a bath!
The hotel couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. If you are going to Dhigurah stay here."
"Very small island. Not much variety in food choices. Almost same menu everyday. Mostly German tourists come here. Good diving and snorkeling spots all around. Difficult to get hot water for shower. Would not visit again."
"It was an incredible holiday. Staff were all so friendly, food was excellent, accommodation was wonderful and the house reef was incredible! Loved every minute and hope to be back one day!"
"Extraordinary stay at beach hotel Dhigurah. From pick up to drop off it was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Starting off with the staff/management. They went above and beyond to help you, probably some of the hardest workers we have seen during our travels. From dusk to dawn these people are working hard and always have a huge smile on their face and go out of their way to greet you at all hours of the day. They are so well organized from pick up at the airport, boat ride to the island, transfer to the hotel and during our stay it was hassle free. Isham (the manager) was there to greet us upon arrival at the hotel. He gave us information about the island and exchanged WhatsApp’s so if we had any questions during our stay he would help us (which we did and he always responded quickly!) he organized, along with his staff excursions for whale shark snorkeling (which we were lucky to see !) fishing (which they cooked our catch the next day) scuba diving and even our sea plane back to Male ("
