"Un reve... et on reve d'y retourner"

10.0

On a tout aime', c est un vrai coin de paradis, tout est beau, on se sent seul au monde alors qu'il y a d'autres clients, on a un hôte attitré qui discrètement s'assure que tout se passe bien. Le directeur est extrêmement attentif. L'offre des activités est vaste. Plusieurs restaurants proposent de l'excellente nourriture.

N'ayant que 2 hydravions par jour pour Male, on a malheureusement dû quitter le resort (ce qui est déjà très triste vu la qualité du séjour) début après midi et attendre pas mal d'heures a Male notre vol de retour qui était tard le soir. Seul point un peu moins bien, on s'organisera mieux la prochaine fois

"A Jewel in the Maldives"

9.0

Hello Manafaru Team, this was our second stay at this resort, and we were once again impressed by the island's location, the natural surroundings, and the way the villas were integrated into the landscape. This is exactly how I imagine the Maldives experience. We were also once again struck by the extraordinary hospitality of all the staff. It would be unfair to single out any individual employees; they all give their best. If you see the staff not as servants but as individuals and give them attention, they will open their hearts and find joy in looking after their guests. They come from many faraway lands and love to share their stories if you listen to them. It was a real pleasure for us. Minor technical issues were resolved quickly and easily. If the ladies were to get a mirror for blow-drying their hair, everything would be perfect. Ultimately, we made peace with the revised menu and enjoyed our vacation. Thank You Ja Manafaru

Honest reviews must also include criticism when it's warranted. We downloaded the food and beverage menus a week before departure to translate them into our language, which made dinner planning a bit easier. Upon arrival, we were surprised by revised menus that unfortunately included significant reductions in the wine category: 100% for bottled wine and 70% for wine by the glass. Had we continued to consume our favorite wines, we would have incurred additional costs of approximately $1500. As repeat customers, and we weren't alone in this experience, this was somewhat disappointing.
