Room	10.0 / 10	The staff were wonderful, they could not have been more friendly and attentive. The resort was beautiful and excellently maintained. The only downside was the house reef which was slightly disappointing in comparison to other islands we’ve visited.

Room	10.0 / 10	Paradise in every sense of the word. We have recently returned from maafushivaru celebrating our 10 year anniversary, having visited for our honeymoon. Initially we wondered if the island could live up to our first experience 10 years ago. I have to say that it far surpassed it. The recent refurb is stunning. The aesthetics and detail of this island are perfect and the island is immaculately kept, to the point where grounds staff trimmed the grass with scissors to ensure accuracy. If the aesthetic isn’t enough, what really makes this such a magical place are the staff! Each and every one of the staff were amazing. This is true first class service. Nothing was too much trouble and always done with a genuine smile. Even the resort manager is present and takes the time to ask how your stay is. Having stayed in a water villa previously we decided to upgrade to a pool water villa with a sunset view (any odd number villa) and have to say that this really added to our experience, it is definitely worth the extra. The food…. Wow the food is just first class, something for everyone with 3 a la carte restaurants (Italian, Japanese and grill) and a buffet restaurant, there is something for everyone. I had a fillet steak at the grill that was just beautiful. You do need to book the restaurant’s though. The quality of the food is beautiful and we enjoyed every meal. We opted for the dine around all inclusive that includes all meals and drinks (branded drinks) and I would say this is a must as it would be extremely expensive to pay for your meals individually. Our average food bill was around $180-200. A beer and a cocktail was approximately $30. The island is a small island but does not, in any way feel crowded. Almost the opposite in fact. Each day there were only two or three couples on the beach. We used the spa twice during our stay. It is not cheap (approx $300-$400 for a couple massage) but well worth it to truly help you to relax in the most perfect setting. Again this needs to be pre booked. I also used the gym. It is very well equipped with new state of the art life fitness machines. The best compliment I could give this resort is that we really didn’t want to leave, to the point, like other reviews, it was emotional boarding the sea plane to leave! We will definitely return in the near future. Cant thank our travel agent Paula enough. She went out of our way to help with our booking. Thank you.

Room	9.0 / 10	Fantastic island, very well maintained and managed. Staff super-friendly and really lovely to be around. Food was very good and lots of choice - quality consistent throughout the week. Small island but lots to do. We arrived 17/6 and only 70% occupancy due to main holidays not starting yet - good week to go on honeymoon - felt like we had lots of the beach to ourselves which was lovely. Snorkelling out of this world. Spa was very special with real variation in the treatments available. Daily entertainment in the evenings - we enjoyed our first night after dinner on bean bags on the beach watching a film on the big screen under the stars - very special! Thank you HolidaysPlease and Jessica x

Room	9.0 / 10	This was our 5th time to the Maldives so we wanted a bit more than the basic maldivean island has to offer, as in the room and eating and drinking options. We could not fault the room, we were in a Pool Villa which was lovely, stepping out onto your own private veranda with a lovely plunge pool, a few steps away you also have your own private part of the beach with sunbeds, although this was near the dive center, which was not a problem for us, it was quieter this side of the beach, but if that what you want then it will suit you. This room is normally only sold to families and couples who are on holiday together as there are 2 rooms that share the same pool, we were luckily enough to have it all to ourselves. Only downside was as it was so hot there was no breeze at all, so it was very hot. If you went to the main beach area there a bit of a breeze and this does make a difference. But if you want peace and quite and privacy this is perfect. We know they only had 1 restaurant, which normally is not a problem for us, but the food was not that good, lunch was fine, salads nice, but on an evening I did not think there was much choice variety in general. When they had theme nights basic components were missing, as in Tex Mex night, they could have had sour cream, they had every other sauce but this, just a little thing, but when the food is a big part of your holiday on these islands it makes a difference. It has made us realise, that if we visit the Maldives again we would like more options to eat, as in other restaurants. You could pay to eat al a carte, but i thought it was very expensive and so were the options to eat on the beach and the other island Lonobu, as we have done this before we were not bothered, but for people who have not been before they will probably do it as they may never get to do it again, just think it was a tad too expensive, probably just my personal opinion. Staff - could not fault them, especially the bar staff, they always made sure you had a drink, they remembered what you drank and were always very friendly, the staff definitley make this island. We did not do much snorkelling, but this is not what we go to the Maldives for, we go for the perfect white sand and clear blue sea and to relax, but were told the snorkelling was good, I didn't see many fish near to where our room was, and have been to other islands where the fish have been close to the beach. All in all, lovely island, just a shame about the food.

Room	9.0 / 10	This was a very well run resort, all the staff were polite and professional, and nothing was too much trouble. They made every effort to ensure our stay was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, the food was excellent with a good variety of dishes served avery day. The house reef and that of the sister island were excellent for snorkelling and I would also recommend the snorkelling trips with the resident marine biologist who was friendly and informative.
