Professional staff, excellent service, great amenities ! The best place to stay on local Maldives islands. It’s obvious the hotel owners invested wholeheartedly - they organized transfer pickup to and from Male in a quality smooth speedboat (which made a huge difference compared to other local speedboats). Hotel restaurant was best value and quality food compared to other restaurants in the island. We ordered food multiple times directly to our room. Staff were really friendly and attentive - many thanks to onu and zhidan.

*Review of Dhiguveli Breeze, Maldives* *What we liked:* - *Extremely helpful staff*: The staff at Dhiguveli Breeze went above and beyond to accommodate every request we had. They were always available and ready to assist, making our stay incredibly smooth and enjoyable. One standout moment was when they *organized plane transport* for us to Male after we were stranded due to bad weather, and all speedboats had been canceled. We really appreciated their proactive approach to ensuring we didn’t face any difficulties. - *Great food*: The food at the resort was consistently excellent. Every meal was delicious and satisfying, with a good variety of options. - *Great location*: The resort is situated in a fantastic spot, offering both *relaxing seclusion* and easy access to beautiful beaches and the stunning natural surroundings of the Maldives. - *Amazing New Year’s Eve celebration*: The *NYE dinner* was fantastic, and the *organization* was top-notch. It was a memorable experience to ring in the New Year with such great food and an impressive setup. - *Very clean rooms*: Our room was spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay. The *air conditioning* (ACP) was a welcome addition, ensuring we stayed cool and comfortable even in the tropical heat.

    From the moment we stepped into the hotel, we were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who made us feel like VIPs throughout our entire stay. The customer service at this hotel is truly exceptional. When inclement weather prevented us from visiting the nearby islands on our scheduled day, the staff went above and beyond to make alternative arrangements. They quickly secured a hotel just a short five-minute drive from the airport and promptly rescheduled our flights when we expressed concerns about the revised departure time. . Their thoughtfulness and efficiency in handling the situation were truly commendable. The way the staff empathized with our disappointment at losing a day on the island soothes our disappointed hearts! They wasted no time in offering us an upgrade and special perks to compensate for the unforeseen circumstances. Their genuine concern and effort to make things right instantly turned our disappointment into excitement. Once we arrived on the island, we were greeted by a team of enthusiastic staff members who created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their beaming smiles and genuine hospitality added an extra layer of joy to our vacation. It was evident that they genuinely cared about ensuring we had a memorable and enjoyable time. Throughout our stay, our assigned gem, Hamzath, proved to be a true gem indeed. He took great care of us, ensuring our every need was met. Hamzath went above and beyond to curate unforgettable dining experiences for us, recommending the finest restaurants and providing personalized attention. It was clear that he took immense pride in his work and genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. The natural beauty of the island was simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and vibrant colors of the surrounding ocean were truly mesmerizing. We were thrilled to discover that we could easily indulge in snorkeling right from our room.

    After a very long and tiring trip, we arrived in Paradise, and the people who lived there were exactly the face of what paradise is and its meaning. On this island, there are beautiful people that live and work there in this unique hotel that fits perfectly in this idyllic place, filled with luscious vegetation and surrounded by clear waters. It was the best hotel ever, of all places we have visited in the world. Everyone, without exception, was very kind, helpful and overall amazing, especially all the friendly people in the three restaurants we went to. In the main restaurant (Bageecha), we were greeted by the wonderful hostesses Geethika and Samjhana. Geethika was tireless in making sure that everything was going perfectly for us. The managers Aman and Shafiq would welcome any special request we had. Shafiq was very nice and gentle, and the lovely Aman was a very caring and generous person. The waiters Rejin and Viju were always there for anything we needed. At every meal, there were various dishes to fit every taste. Each meal included fresh fruit, tasty desserts and a variety of very good cocktails. At the Lagoon restaurant, there were Iresha, Ammar and Rasheed. Every day, Iresha would greet us with a smile and offer me a flower to put in my hair, it was amazing and so pleasant to have such a nice treat. It was amazing to meet a young man named Ammar, who was always helpful and kind to us. He was super kind and gentle with me, with his sweet behavior and special attention. And I am so grateful to have met him and all the others. Finally, Rasheed was always available to attend to our special requests. At the Farumathi, the seafood restaurant that we visited once, we met Diksha, a very nice and joyful young woman. She made sure we had a great meal. A special thanks to Nikka and Nathaniel, from the live music band, for the opportunity to sing with them.

    visiting the Maldives is a dream for anyone and I knew that the ayada maldives resort would go beyond that dream. Since I made the reservation a year ago and started contacting the hotel, I noticed the difference. Highly qualified staff to provide our adventure with a unique experience. From our departure point to the island it took exactly 36 hours … in Male we had a completely pleasant reception by the Ayada team who took us to the airport lounge, carried our bags and boarded us to the island. Upon disembarking, another big surprise was waiting for us to take us by boat to our final destination, arriving there, a warm welcome and Iqu, our assistant for a week, was waiting for us. Nothing could have been more perfect. Our villa inside the ocean and overlooking the sunset was perfect, the crystal clear water invited us every day for a swim. The wonderful restaurants, the employees always with a smile and ready for a good morning, good afternoon, good night. It was worth every hour until we got here … worth every penny invested. We chose the hotel because we wanted the island further away from Male … ​​our choice was the best possible !! Ayada surprised us … she welcomed us and conquered us … she deserves all the accolades of the best hotel in the Maldives in all aspects !!! thank you for the wonderful week you have given us. Thank you Lizah for your attention, thank you Iqu … it was a pleasure meeting you. Thank you Maldives !!!

    Everything was great. From the check-in process to check-out till the airport was fully supported. We had the all-inclusive package, so there was no hassle with anything. Our check-in staff was Mr. Sham, and he was excellent in helping us during the process. Mr. Hoodh from the Farivalhu Restaurant was very kind in helping us all the time during breakfast, lunch & dinner. The snorkelling around the island was fabulous. The sunset trip with the dolphin watch was fantastic. Last but not least, Duniye Spa was an awesome experience and a must to do. Lots of activities for adults and kids. A great vacation place.

Rooms cleaned every day, towels changed each day, trip from/to the aiport organized, so just after leaving Arrivals Zone at the airport we were taken care of. Lizzards, bats, tropical birds and a hen ;). No need to wear shoes while walking on the island. No crowds, peace and quiet. Would love to come back there one day....

Staff was excellent and efficient across the whole resort. Despite being in May, we had plenty of sunshine and the quick rain showers we had only served as a short pause from the sun. This place is amazing, definitely recommend it!

    I only stayed overnight in Male and, in general, it was enough. Simply passing though to get my flight home. As expected the city is noisy, busy and hectic. Wow the contrast from the laid-back, easygoing atol where I was based for the holiday. However, I still quite enjoyed it. The guy from the diving company arranged a tour guide for me whose policy was that I pay him what I thought his time was worth. I got to experience the traffic from a scooter (quite scary to begin with) was taken to the market and given lots of free samples of local foods to try and had visits to all the important sites in three brilliant hours. He also introduced me to a wonderful restaurant - The Seagull Cafe- where I visited another twice before leaving the food and the coffee were so good.

    Maafushi is, overall, a great place – the people are friendly and welcoming. The weak point is definitely the services. When it comes to hotels, don’t expect luxury. In my opinion, for what you actually get, it’s overpriced. One big plus is that Maafushi gives you more freedom. You’re not tied to a resort – you can move around, explore, go jogging if you want, and enjoy the island on your own terms. You can book trips easily, there’s stuff to do, and it doesn’t feel restrictive.

    Hulhumale despite being busy like the rest of Male has an airy feel to it with lots of greenery - almost colonial. The East side is quiet for traffic although it's close to the seaplane flight paths - I didn't find that intrusive. The West side has the harbour with the ferry terminal and where the liveaboards anchor between trips. When I was there there had been a lot of recent building work so I would avoid staying there. Lots of options for buying fresh fruit and vegentables if you need and a range of places to eat at different price ranges.

    I loved the proximity to Male for ease of arrival and departure. I also loved looking at the city lights from afar, whilst being separated by stunningly turquoise waters and the gentle sounds of lapping waves. The marine life in the lagoon was plentiful and beautiful, and I had many marine visitors near my villa at all hours of the day. The snorkelling with sharks-excursion was probably the single best experience, but the resort itself was the star of the whole experience. The quality of the villa (amazing bed, wonderful toiletries from L'Occitane, the view, the constant refill of free fresh water and Nespresso coffee) and the rest of the resort (amazing food, world-class spa) was the stuff of holiday dreams!

    We LOVED Dhiffushi!

    We LOVED Dhiffushi! A real taste of a local island, the thing that struck us was how quiet and peaceful it was. We wandered everywhere on foot and loved that the roads are all sand. We were there in monsoon season and experienced some storms but they were short and everyone just gets on with stuff. There was some rubbish washed up on the non-hotel beach areas but most hotels keep their areas spotless. Both bikini beaches were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend Dhiffushi as a real gem of a local island. As an added bonus, we could not believe how cheap everything was too!

    The people that work there in the island are very genuine and polite and helpful, always smiling. They make your time there very pleasant. Don’t forget to tip them. Jr and Anastasia from the club house coordinators are amazing and multi talented individuals. Don’t miss their daily sport activities by the pool.

    I absolutely would return!

    I absolutely would return! After the fact I was told this was a Russian resort but we interacted with a variety of guests during our visit. Our neighbors were guests 20 years ago and returned with two children. They were having an absolute ball. I loved the swim up bar at the pool - and the fact it was at the opposite end (along with a divider) from the children's area. Super attentive and friendly staff, great meals, I didn't tire of the options at the buffet. The a la carte restaurant was lovely too. We did the all inclusive and it was definitely worth it. Great chill vibe and overall a fun place to relax and play.

    An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

    I enjoyed pretty much everything. It was a super place to go for a one week holiday. You're a captivated audience on such a small island but there was more than enough to keep you occupied for the week. The food was excellent, the staff extremely supportive and I think that RIU have a near perfect arrangement for the 'all inclusive' experience.
