Nova Maldives

Everything

-

Everything- it was perfect! Just the right size, loads of activities and the staff/ service is beyond excellent. The island and resort itself is unreal.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Nova, and couldn't reccomend it enough. We had a smooth and simple transfer by seaplane (with a couple of hour wait due to our flight arriving early). The hotel is glorious, quiet and stunning. We had both a beach villa and water villa and both were beyond our high expectations. Although it's a lovely place to relax and be at peace, the watersports and excursions kept us nice and busy. We went on the quests for whale shark, manta, turtle and snorkel safaris and saw everything other than a whale shark, but every other whale shark quest that went whilst we were there were successful, so we were just unlucky. But they tried hard to find the whale shark and even gave loads of extra time to look but they do make it clear before you go it's not a 100% success rate since they are wild animals. All the other quests where amazing and so much fun. The watersports available where also all such a blast and they gave so much time to enjoy each activity. Particular shout-out to Agy who supported all our watersports and most excursions. He was so funny and went beyond to give us the unquestionably best experience we could have! The food was amazing. The soul buffet had endless and different options each day and it was one of the highlights of the trip. We looked forward to each meal every time and were never once disappointed. Overall I would highly recommend Nova and we will definitely return in the future

Geen kussens op de ligbedden. Niet voldoende schaduw aan zwembad of strand. Te weinig parasols.

Island is beautiful and although small it was nice to walk around. The seaside around island is amazing, we've seen tons of fish, sharks, and even snorkeld with cute turtle. Food was great, staff us great and very attentive. This hotel also surprised me with awesome gym, this was first time I was extremly happy with hotel gym :)

There's one thing that really annoyed me. If you get a non water villa, you'll hear some machinery working 24/7. It's probably some water processing or generator and I understand that we as guests need water and electricity but it still was very annoying. It wasn't magical quite experience that I expected.

Zalige 4 dagen in Nova! De kamers zijn reuze (tip: neem de gewone beach bungalow zonder sunset dus aan de noordoost kant) daar heb je totaaaal geen wind in tegenstelling met de bungalows aan de westkant. Het eten was heerlijk in de soul kitchen resto. Er wordt ook aandacht gegeven aan het koraal. Er werkt een biologe. Je kan snorkelen in het huisrif. De moeite!!! De duiktrips waren ook zeer leuk. We hebben er echt een heerlijke vakantie opzitten. In de eerste plaats door de superstaff die er werkt. Bravo aan hen. Zonder hen zou de sfeer toch anders zijn.

De cocktails zouden met verse ingrediënten moeten kunnen klaar gemaakt worden voor die prijs. Ach en de restaurant flames is veel te hoog geprijsd. Je kan beter gewoon naar het soul kitchen restaurant gaan. Het is er heerlijk. De showcooking restaurant is wel eens leuk om te doen.
