Madifushi Private Island

The Dive Crew is top: Funny, passionate, caring yet super professional. One of the best ever. One server, Pauline, who was so enthusiastic and cheerful.

F&B is a complete disaster. The buffest restaurant is dull and mediocre, something I‘d expect in an 4

It was an excellent overall experience. The villas were specious, modern, and new as shown in the photos. We tried both beach and water villas, we liked the beach villa more. Villa 812 is ideal for privacy. The restaurants were both excellent. Blue Fin had both buffet and a la cart options. Fahrenheit had a la cart option. The manager Omer was very helpful and our supported Mo was excellent.

It is true that food is expensive as mentioned in some angry reviews but this is to be expected in Maldives resorts. To give you perspective, the lunch buffet is ~65 USD and the dinner buffet is around 100 USD. A la cart can range from 80 to 200+ for a couple of people.

The resort is outstanding and beautiful. Green island with amazing sunsets. Service is great and food is good. Our manager was Sacha. She did a good job! Was lovely to have her and 24/7 she was available for us when we needed some help. I recommend to swim with dolphins and visit their SPA and ride the bicycles. Also, I would recommend Jena master for yoga sunset, very relaxing.

The working staff not management

The food prices are ridiculously expensive

- The villa really was excellent and true to the photos. Given how much you use your room in the Maldives, for us the quality and size of the rooms were by far the best feature of the resort and a key attraction -The dive center, Spa and Yoga (Jena was great) we all really enjoyed - we had a great experience at each and excellent service -The attitude of the staff was nearly all overwhemingly friendly and a pleasure to deal with -The airport staff and transfer experience was actually really well executed

-F&B is incredibly expensive, so go with your eyes open. We went B&B and whilst the food was good, the service and atmosphere at the Bluefin/buffet restaurant was a little hit and miss - if the resort had another more intimate restaurant in addition to Farenheit that would help a lot. Based on the good atmosphere, service and setting we could accept the prices at Farenheit, but we felt the buffet restaurant experience was quite far below the standard you would expect for the prices being charged. - The resort is 1 year old, and whilst generally all the staff were very friendly and willing to help, the service was too often a bit reactive and not pro-active. You really noticed this in some of the F&B settings and the patchy daily information as to any activities going on at the resort - it just felt a little disorganised in places. However, the positive attitude and friendliness of staff generally made up for things... These should be pretty easy improvement points, so hopefully as the resort matures they will sort this. Despite the niggles, in such a beautiful setting and with such nice villas we had a great time.

Amazing location, spacious water villas, great staff.

Cleaning is not well organized, mostly indian food. Water is quite dirty, with plastic bags, bottles, (even see. A big chunk or construction polistiren floating around). Sometimes waste is being thrown into the water and you will swim in soap bubbles and other stuff. Tiny islands around are also full of trash… those will be a destination for you if you rent a jet ski and get a guide to show you around.
