OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers

10/10 Excellent

"We are having an absolutely incredible stay here. The resort is beautiful, and everything has been top-notch. Our room is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. What really sets this place apart is the staff—everyone is incredibly helpful, welcoming, and attentive. It is also an amazing, kid-friendly property, which has made traveling with our little one so much easier. All of the services, from the dining to the amenities, have been great. We couldn't be more satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!"

Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My week at Villa Náutica Paradise Island Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the resort delivered a seamless blend of professionalism, comfort, and genuine hospitality that made this stay truly memorable. The team demonstrated extreme professionalism at every turn. Their attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that every need was anticipated and met. I must single out Mr Dillon for special praise. His availability was constant, his manner unfailingly courteous, and his commitment to providing the best possible experience was evident in every interaction. The management team’s coordination and the staff’s warmth combined to create an atmosphere of effortless care. The accommodation was of outstanding quality. Rooms are spacious, immaculately maintained, and thoughtfully appointed with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities. Cleanliness and upkeep were impeccable, and the overall design balances elegance with relaxed island charm. Meals were varied and of high quality. The resort’s culinary offerings showcased fresh ingredients, creative preparation, and consistent presentation. Breakfasts offered a wide selection to suit all tastes. Lunch and dinner menus provided both local flavors and international options, each dish prepared with care and flavor. The experience is richer, warmer, and more impressive in person than words can capture. I leave with deep appreciation and the certainty that I will return."

Barcelo Nasandhura Male

8/10 Good

"Property is adjacent to the water ferry terminal. This is convenient if you will be using the ferries. However, it is very noisy if you are if try to relax or sleep. In addition, the road in front of the property is torn up and construction equipment appears to be working most of the day and evening. Hopefully that will be transitory but currently it is in the middle stage of the process."

Samann Grand

8/10 Good

"We had an excellent stay at Samann Grand Hotel. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The complimentary airport pickup was seamless, and the shuttle back to the airport the next morning made our arrival and departure stress-free. Check-in was quick, friendly, and professional. Our room was clean, comfortable, and the beds were very comfortable after a long day of international travel. It was the perfect overnight stay before heading to our overwater bungalow resort. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making us feel well taken care of throughout our short stay. We would definitely recommend Samann Grand to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and well-managed hotel near Malé Airport."

Unima Grand

8/10 Good

"This is a very nice affordable hotel near the public beach. The room was clean and the A/C worked. The bed was comfortable. My rate included an à la carte breakfast and shuttle to the airport. The internet was stable. There were a few quirks. You need to unplug the fridge to plug in the kettle. There is a weird threshold into the bathroom that I stumbled over a few times. The exit door leads onto a busy street and cars fly by... I ate dinner in the restaurant and it was a delicious coconut curry. All in all, pretty good. I would stay there again."
