JA Manafaru, The Real Maldives - Complimentary Seaplane for 7 nights and more - Stay Period 01 May 2026 to 23 Dec 2026

Beautiful resort with great accommodation. Staff were fantastic throughout our stay. Some great snorkelling around the island too. Food was very good too. The personal touches by the house keeping was brilliant too and accommodation always clean. The Asian streetfood buffet in particular was delicious. The manager was very attentive and always had time to speak to us.

They changed the all inclusive policy after I had booked. Originally you could buy more expensive meals for an additional 5 or 10 usd. But had changed it on arrival to 50% discount. The all inclusive cocktails were OK but for the price you pay I think there should be more options available. The all inclusive would be a lot better if there was more alcohol options included with addition to more non alcoholic cocktails. Also the addition of pork on the menu like other resorts do in the maldives.

Everything was more than perfect, the ocean villa was exceptional, the stuff extremely kind, the food delicious and Imran is the best cocktail maker. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you again soon!

Internet speed was a bit low

Beautiful location, well maintained, beautiful florest inside the island, delicious food, no buffet for all inclusive plans. Staff very friendly.

Service: Fantastic friendly stuff all around, kudos especially @ Nuhad, our personal contact for the whole stay who was available 24/7 to cater for all our wishes and help immediately out for any kind of problem such as a non-working room card or a twisted knee after beach volleyball, @ Imran who perfectly catered us in the fantastic sunset bar („Veli“) every evening and found a comfy solution to sit outside even on rainy days and @ Shaad who found our Camera we left somewhere on the on the island. Food: Heard from people before that food is usually not great on Maledives but not here! Top quality and selection from breakfast till dinner. And although in many places I would recommend to avoid the buffet restaurant and go a la carte only - here its even the opposite. All theme nights in the main restaurant were beyond great; having travelled many 5* hotels around the world these were one of the best “main restaurant” experiences we ever had! The a la carte restaurants (asian/international & seafood) are great as well though of course. Snorkling: Beautiful places on several corners of the island as well as just down the ladder from your villa into the sea, just go out anytime you like on your own. No need to book or organize anything to see sharks, turtles, mantas and 100 types of beautiful fishes. Room: We had the sunrise overwater villa. Superspacious & looking inside very fresh and modern. Great bed, towels, shower, terrace & pool! Activities: Never gets boring with billiard, beach volleyball, table tennis, tennis, cinema room, dolphin cruise and many other games and activities.

Alles war hervorragend, Personal sehr herzlich und umsichtig! Insel wunderschön, die Villen TOP! Die Restaurant sehr gut, der Chef-Koch Mussa einfach SPITZE! Hat unser Wünsche gerne erfüllt. Wassersport war auch sehr toll, speziell der Seabob war toll!

Nur der Strandzugang bei den Deluxe Villen lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig. Um in Meer zu gelangen muss man einige, flache Steinklippen überwinden, was bei stärkeren Wind eine Herausforderung war. Das war aber schon das einzige Manko. Eventuell kann man hier etwas tun, damit dies besser wird!

Najvise nam se svidjela ljubaznost osoblja, uvijek su dostupni za bilo kakva pitanja, zahtjeve, nista im nije tesko. Cijeli otok je cist, a sadrzaja ima koliko god pozelite. Jednostavno se mora dozivjeti.

Apsolutno sve je bilo savrseno.

On the positive side, the housekeeping staff, restaurant servers, diving team, photographer and especially my butler Mohammed were excellent. However, overall I regret choosing this hotel for a special occasion. I wouldn't recommend it for celebrating personal events as you won’t feel comfortable or treated equally as a guest.

I stayed here to celebrate my birthday but was very disappointed. The management treated guests unfairly and inconsistently as I wasn't allowed to film with a drone (which I had confirmed by email before booking), yet influencers before and after me were allowed to do so without any issue. When I raised this, I was given misleading answers which felt dishonest and disrespectful.
