Maayafushi Holidays from NZ$4,726

Overall nice stay with great snorkeling. We stayed at water villa and ate at the Lagoon restaurant. The food can use improvement in quality and consistency. Service staff was nice. We filled out the survey for food on our 2nd day and the staff really took it seriously and made sure we had good food options rest of our stay. Breakfast was consistently awesome. Lunch and dinner varied in our opinion. I wish our host treated the food allergy we reported seriously as we had kiwi sent to our room as well served on a 10 person excursion without an alternative. The staff was nice to have kind gestures when we shared the food allergy issue. Just not the 5-star personalized experience we expected. We booked on Expedia 7 days before we arrived. The hotel never confirmed our arrival flight. Hope the property better manages communication. Luckily there was another family on the same flight so we didn’t wait for the boat transfer. Just an unnecessary stressful beginning when you do not hear back from the property.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Huvafen Fushi Resort, and it was nothing short of exceptional. A big thank you to Naadi who went above and beyond to make my birthday unforgettable. The personal touches and attention to detail truly made me feel special throughout our stay. We would also like to thank Noel and the team for their hospitality, their commitment to excellence was clearly demonstrated and visible which added to the overall wonderful experience. Great Island, Sensational Spa, Amazing Food, Exceptional Service! A big thank you to everyone.

This is wonderful hotel on little private island ( if I remember correctly there is only about 20 villas) so if you are Honeymooner ( like me :) ) or just a people who do not like to be disturbed on holiday by others, this is the perfect place. The place is absolutely fabulous and tranquil. I would like to thank general manager Julia for warm welcome and very personal attitude, our house butler Chelase, and all other staff of Naladhu Island. You all together made our Honeymoon unforgettable and incredible experience. All the time we felt very, very welcomed. The restaurant Living Room is superb- the best stakes and spaghetti bolognese I have tried in my life.

The food at Baros is top notch. Breakfast was fantastic every day that I was there. I stayed in an overwater villa with great views. Snorkeling at the house reef gave way to views of wonderful underwater life. When I come back to Maldives, I will book this place without hesitation. As for the expedia option of pre-paying for dinner, don't. Just go a la cart and not feel obligated to eat at the same restaurant. It's priced such that you are getting the maximum priced items on the menu each night and only includes one of the three restaurants. The food is great at that restaurant though, so no complaints there. I would have preferred more flexibility in how I used those funds.
