Don't listen to the bad reviews, this is a wonderful island for relaxing and for enjoying the wonderful sea full of life. You will be amazed by the sea life, plenty of lively and colorful fishes swimming around the coral reef. The rooms are cleaned TWICE a day! The food for breakfast is various and fresh. Food for lunch and... More

This was a week of absolute paradise..until...It's a great location with gentle lapping waves on the shore, clean (if rather small) beach villa room, our outdoor bathroom even had a palm tree growing in it! Hot running water was short-lived. Food became boring and samey after a few days as it was a repetitive buffet... breakfast was not worth getting... More

The island is beautiful with several nice beaches, the rooms (we had a beach bungalow) are very nice decent size with outdoor shower. It is a good hotel but could with a bit more work be even better. Where the hotel could improve compared to other islands is front desk service where sometimes the staff had an almost total lack... More

Just got back from a 10 day break at Maayafushi Island Resort. We were the only other English couple staying on the Island - the majority of guests were Italian and some Swiss and French too. We felt this was an advantage as we like meeting people from other parts of the world. Everyone was great. The guests were a... More

This was our 30th wedding anniversary and what a great place to spend it. We were one of the few aussie's that go there. I don't know why they don't. It is truly a lovely place. There wasn't many English speaking people when we were there but it wasn't a problem. We were involved in everything. The staff go out... More

We were there for our honeymoon, stayed in one of the bunglows by the beach. Beautiful water and the view was spectacular. The food was ok but the staff was very friendly. I recommend the spa, It was one of the best massages I ever had. It becomes very quite at night. I wish there was more entertainment.

We visited in early December and the weather was still a bit unsettled. We were able to snorkel on the lovely house reef but trips out to deep water snorkelling were off at the time. Room ok and kept clean. Food average , fairly boring but there was always fresh fish and salads which were both good. Guests mainly Italian... More

The island is very beautiful. Not too big , not too small. Beach is fantastic and the reef too. Only a few overwater bungalows, just enough because I do not like them. Food excellent. Personnel too ! Very very kind and gentle. Total relax for 2 weeks. I will try to go there again !!

Flight Flight with Emirates Boeing 777-300er was actually quite painfully, the seats were somewhat uncomfortable as the edge of the seat was raised it applied pressure to the back of thighs and knee. The flight from Dubai to Male on the Boeing 777-200er was somewhat better. Seaplane transfer although quite pricey was great, not much waiting around and offered great... More
