10/10 Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at Perla from arrival to departure. The staff booked my speedboat transfer which made it very easy for me. They have a lot of excursions for guests to choose from. And a lot of different food are in their menu. Loved the food here. Can catch the best sunset view from the terrace. The pool is very nice and private because it is just for the guests staying at the hotel. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend this place if you are going to...

So many incredible things to write here. First off the usual: Good size room, incredible number of towels, huge & comfortable bed, 2 housekeeping per day, 2 refills of minibar per day, incredibly smiley and friendly staff, fantastic beach, safe for children, great number of activities, very good food, beautiful beach villa setup which is about 20-30 meters away from the water, quite atmosphere! The unusual: I am a hobby photographer and I did some shooting around the island. There was...

Me and my husband came here for our honeymoon, first time visiting Maldives and it was absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. We will definitely be coming back again. Although we had some difficulties getting to our resort due to flight delays Anurag the reservation manager helped us out so much and made sure we got our full 7 night stay since we got their 2 days late. We were very grateful and blessed for him. Sunny the waiter at azzuri was so kind and sweet and me and my husband really bonded...

We came to the hotel over Christmas (myself and my wife). I was a little worried about some of the reviews and the whole float plane thing, but Vilamendhoo was way above my expectations. Everything from the pick-up at the airport, float plane organisation, check-in was great. The rooms were very nice and well kept. The food was good, lots of variety of Asian cuisine. It was also nice they have an adults only half of the island, including restaurant, that made the trip much more romantic and...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. The entire staff was very kind and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Anoof for being so responsive and helpful - helping to organize excursions and fulfill any requests.

Dive and Sleep - All Inclusive Diving Guesthouse - 3 Dives per day

10/10 Excellent

I recently had an amazing stay at Dive and Sleep Guesthouse in the Maldives, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I arrived, the host and his wife made me feel incredibly welcome. Their warmth and friendliness, coupled with the politeness and willingness to assist from the entire staff, truly set the tone for a perfect vacation. Returning to diving after a 16-year hiatus felt daunting, but the on-site diving instructor was exceptional. They guided me back into the world...

My husband and I had a fantastic week long stay at the Radisson Blu Resort in the Maldives in September 2020. This is a new resort that opened in August 2020. The resort is on its own island called Huruelhi island. It’s a gorgeous place with white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise water. The snorkeling is great. We saw lots of colorful fishes, sharks, and a sea turtle while snorkeling off the beach. Be sure to arrange a whale shark excursion with the hotel at the dive center; it’s an...

I loved staying at the Bliss Dhigurah! At first I was a little apprehensive because it is not a fancy schmancy resort like those that exist on other islands, but I settled in quickly and was very pleased by the accommodations, the staff, and of course, the beach! Please be prepared for no beach chairs or umbrellas (I was lucky to have found a hammock every day). There is a smattering of chairs along the beach but some look like they have been on the beach for decades. I had full board and...

My first time to write a hotel review. Couldn't resist. Been to Maldives four times and this hotel is the best so far. The staff is great and willing to accommodate any need. They know when to be there for you and when to leave you on our own. The property and surrounding water is breathtaking. Island is small and sometimes you feel like you're the only people there. They surprisingly arranged a free tour of Male city as we had a few hours to wait for our departing flight. Would highly this...

Finally made it to Maldives. We can’t say enough positive things about this resort. From the time we landed in Male to our entire stay. The staff and hotel are nothing short of amazing. They are on top of your entire stay. From flight arrival to departure. The food is so wonderful and last but not least pictures and videos do not do this place justice. Breathtakingly Beautiful! Thank you for an amazing experience.

We loved Sun Island. We stayed in one of the stilt houses and it was incredible. We were able to walk down the stairs directly into the ocean. The view was awesome, the room was good, and the facilities on the island were good. There is a free shuttle to the sister island of Holiday Island, which has better snorkeling than Sun Island. The only things we didn't like were the Whale Shark excursion and the shark and ray feedings. The Whale Shark excursion was unlimited in numbers, so when...

Great resort with plenty of things to do, even for a week or more. Excellent service and food quality. Very knowledgeable and experienced staff with excellent English language skills, giving a very different experience compared with similar resorts in southwest Asian destinations such as Bali and Phuket. Just be aware that everything is very expensive, and there are no alternative dining venues other than the hotel... Think of what a nice meal would cost in NYC, London, Tokyo, or Hong Kong, then...
