Brennia Kottefaru Maldives

Every thing is top

The vacation at the hotel was wonderful! We really liked the food - the variety of dishes was very impressive. It was always possible to find something for yourself, regardless of preferences. The service is at a high level - the staff was attentive and responsive. I would especially like to mention Mila - she was very friendly and caring. She was always interested in how we were doing and quickly answered all our questions. Her responsiveness has created a special atmosphere of coziness and comfort. Many thanks to the hotel for such a wonderful stay!

Dinner in Manta restaurant ( service and food ) Beautiful location and beaches

Seaplane transfer was 1,5 hours delay

The island is pristine and extremely well taken care of. The rooms are super spacious and confortable. We stayed in a beach villa and the water was a few paces away. The food on the main restaurant was pretty decent standard all inclusive fare. The staff was overall friendly and accomodating without being overly pushy. The airport pickup to the seaplane transfer was seamless and the flight was a breeze. The spa service was great as well.

Every time I had to sign a bill for a service I had to do a double check because sure enough i was being charged something extra or wrong (like full price at check in even though i had already been charged fifty percent or charging me for a bottle of wine instead of glass in one of the restaurants), this was annoying. The extra restaurants were just OK, i was expecting much better quality.

The island was beautifully maintained by friendly staff. You can walk around the island on well-maintained paths in about 30-45 minutes depending on walking speed. The rooms were thoughtfully decorated and comfortable with good privacy from other rooms. The food bar had a wide variety of foods to choose from and great variability that it didn’t become boring. The free non-motorized water sport rentals were a nice perk.

I can’t say I can specifically think of anything I didn’t like. I would’ve liked to see coffee/tea and soft drinks to be included with lunch and dinner with the full board package, not just breakfast.

The staff was absolutely exceptional, very friendly and always ready to help. The island is beautiful, the food was good (strong Indian and Maldivian influence), the gym is big and has all types of equipments, internet connection very good (considering you are in the Maldives).

I think the facilities need loot of renovation, the hotel should invest a bit more in keeping everything in good shape. Also the Full Board and All Inclusive meal plans are not very clear and don't always make sense. If you are on a full board you can only eat at the buffet restaurant and if you want to go to Manta Restaurant they apply full prices (normally they should just apply an extra or give a discount otherwise it makes no sense to be on a full board plan). Also if you are on a full board drinks are not included. My recommendation for the hotel is to simplify and make it clearer for guests in advance so they can choose what they prefer.
