Medhufushi Island Resort

Lovely stay here. But zero management. The buffet restaurant was good and well managed and the staff were all lovely. The facilities were unkept and in need of major repair. Splintery unsafe decking around the pool with loose wooden boards with rusty nails poking out. A bit shabby to be honest. The sea grass in the sea all around the island prohibited swimming. Needs an urgent repair overhaul but we enjoyed our time there. The diving was excellent with very nice and professional staff, and the mantarays were obliging. My husband fell through the floorboards around the pool area and has a major bruise on his leg. No recompense whatsoever from the management. Could have been really bad. The manageress was great but powerless to do make any changes. We enjoyed our stay but we will not return to this resort. We are old hands at the Maldives and there are definitely better atolls to book.

needs some maintenance and also drinks in all inclusive are a joke

We were given a beach villa for 4 persons in the south east of the island and it was amazing: very spacious, wonderful beach, great seaside, 5mins walk from restaurant and bar. The room was extremely clean, everything was in working order (ac, tv, kettle, fan). Wifi speed in the room was poor (~1 Mbps), only sufficient for messaging and emails, but one doesn’t come here to work. The free boat trips to the coral reef were great, the crew was extremely pleasant. Same for the line fishing excursions. The only excursion we didn’t like was the island hopping tour: no effort was made to make us like the islands we visited. We were shown the dumpsters twice, everyone was extremely puzzled by the choices of our guide. After this “trash tour” we were left wandering around aimlessly for half an hour. We went for half board and were extremely pleased with the breakfast and dinner buffet: there is sufficient variety to not get bored if you stay for 1 week. We ate our lunches at Velu bar / Al fresco restaurant. Service was a bit slow at times, but food and drinks were excellent. Plus the view from the restaurant is great. The drinks are often discounted (happy hour). Overall the staff was helpful and gentle. There is a bit of language barrier but with a little of patience communication is not a problem.

Chami and Sujet were amazing help during our stay. I wished they had more control over our experiences during our stay. We pre-ordered champagne as part of our honeymoon for our over water villa stay. It was old, and seemed like it was opened before/expired. The villa itself was dirty, and unsecure due to the locks being busted from the back door and unchanged. Our first meal was the best, but after rhat it was evident that every meal was only frwshly prepared eith unfresh ingredients. Omlettes were our main choice. Staff seemed to be snappy with our requests. For room service, a drink was spilled on delivery. We were told not to request anothe drink as it would "get him in trouble" . We needed a 2 minute misunderstood phone call explaining why we needed a new drink, because it wasnt reported. We got a new villa, but it was plagued by with bugs, and the staff would not collect the used plates, even when requested, leading to various creatures in our room during our stay. Food wasnt great Drinks were subpar Ambiance felt like work( everyone fake wanting to be there) Views were great tho Overpriced for the product presented I believe this site needs an overhaul Asian cultural night was absolutely amazing.

We stayed on a water bungalow from December 25-31, 2024. The staff was amazing from the second we arrived in Male` to the time we arrived back in Male`! The water bungalow was very nice and amazing to just sit on the deck and watch all the sea life go by. We Would communicate with the other water bungalow visitors to give each other a heads up when sea life was going by and what direction they were heading. It was very enjoyable interacting with the other people in the bungalows was a good way to meet them. I would like to give a huge thank you to all the staff specifically; Ali- who took care of our bungalow and us throughout our stay, he was the best and kindest person and was just amazing!! Made our stay special ! Sajjet- who took care of us throughout our dining experience and even beyond that, he really helped make our stay special too! Fernando - the house keeping manager who was always available if we needed anything , although we never did do to great rooms and Ali being so fantastic. Fernando, you have a Great team and thanks for letting us know you are there for us! Kalam- he is the guy on the island who climbs the palm trees to get the fresh cocoanuts. I actually got a video of him going up and down cocoanut trees. Don- who works the area where the seaplanes and boats come in. I would go to that area and Don was such a pleasure to talk too! Wajeeth, Rajana and Yasin took care of us when going through the buffet area and answer any questions we had. Thank you!

Food & staff were excellent overall

Would be nice to have a broader variety of meals at the a la cart restaurant. Platters for in between snacking could be a nice addition to the menu. Snack bars would also be welcomed. Activities were also limited as the current could all be done than less than a week which are also very expensive. The island hopping experience was disappointing as the expectation was to see more of Maldives, go to a local market & to do shopping where gifts were more affordable. We were saddened that we could not give tips to the staff as we did not carry cash with us. An upgrade of rooms, furniture & facilities might be a good face lift of the island.

I have a wonderful stay in the resort, the staff is very very nice.

The food was very good & staff exceptional

miscommunication about what was 'included' ..

The food was varied and absolutely delicious.The beaches are beautiful and clean. The island itself is a beautiful place to relax. We were there for weeks and were not bored. The possibility of trips and sports activities helps a lot. I could spend another month there. Wonderful people, delicious food (a very large selection), daily activities, and evening shows filled our stay. I recommend and e-recommend. I am delighted with the island!

I asked several times to fix the light in the shower and by the bed. Unfortunately, it was not fixed. It did not bother me much so it was not a significant element

Small little island, maybe not a 5 star amazing but still enjoyed every moment of it
