We had a rest with our family (children 8 and 10 years old) from 30.10-11.8.2024. The weather is great, the sky is clear. There are many beautiful places for photos and greenery, the beaches are clean. It is better to take villas without a pool 108-130, and close to the restaurant with the main pool and access to the beach is beautiful. Choose about 624 of the villas with pools, we went around the whole island, there are places where there is no beach, rocks, bad.
This is our first time in the Maldives, we were with friends who have been there for the third time. Everything is very decent, your Butler is in the premium all-inclusive package, wine for the villa up to 3 bottles per day is white / pink/red. The food is fine, but not great. There is always a corner of Indian cuisine, perhaps because of it the choice is slightly less than European dishes. There were octopuses, crabs, shrimp, tuna, excellent mozzarella on Italy day, tuna sashimi on Asia day.
Reef: few colorful corals, small sharks, rays, saw a starfish, a bunch of different fish. There were no turtles or medium-sized sharks.
There were no mosquitoes, although I took the funds. There was a fumigator and an adapter in the room.
We saw one big takaran, but he was just sitting on the outside wall of the villa. Insects are poisoned regularly. There are a lot of crabs and lizards. They are harmless too.
We were on an evening fishing trip, the children were delighted, then the biggest fish was delivered from the boat for only $ 10 and cooked in the main restaurant.
There is billiards and lawn tennis.
The children themselves drove to the children's club and for ice cream on a buggy, the drivers are very friendly.
I recommend the island. The price-quality ratio is good. Not a heavy suite, of course, but everything is decent.
Upon arrival, we were literally escorted by the hand from the airport to the transfer, there we were also in the lounge waiting for the departure of the seaplane, the luggage was all marked. Very caring and attentive.
A great place to relax and unwind, the island is moderately large, there is a place to walk, the food is excellent, varied, there are many themed restaurants where the atmosphere is very atmospheric, we lived in a 107 villa, a very cool location if you are with children.
The reefs are not bad, I can compare them with the red sea, everything was more colorful on the red sea, and the fish were the same. When we swam on an excursion to the turtles, we saw a flock of dolphins, they are funny)
The beach at the villa is excellent, the view is even better.
I want to go back and stay there!)
Oh, yes, there are no complaints about the staff, everyone will prompt and help.
According to the villa, we found her already tired, but not too critical. There are a lot of ants and mosquitoes.
Wedding anniversary in the Maldives, we chose a Furaveri, we didn't regret it, a wonderful hotel, clean, well-groomed territory, polite staff, there is a Russian manager Andrey, explained and told everything, signed up for excursions, the food is excellent, the main restaurant, chicken, beef, sometimes mutton, fish constantly, but the fruit is of course pumped up, watermelon is cotton, melon is nothing to worry about, passion fruit is sour. Only mango is delicious) Alcohol, cocktails, fresh fruits are all there. But the most important thing is the ocean! This is the love of a lifetime! The reef is alive, sharks, rays, beautiful fish, corals, etc., we spent hours diving, went fishing, my husband did a little diving, rode a cheesecake, canoe. We've tried a lot of things in 8 days) I didn't even go to the pool! Funny flying foxes are flying. No mosquitoes were found. The vacation was a success)Would you go back there? With pleasure! There were no disadvantages for us) we had a rest in the middle of November 24)
