"Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in traumhafter Lage mit großartigem Personal und sehr leckerem Essen."

10.0

Unser Aufenthalt war wirklich fantastisch. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist traumhaft und das Wasser einfach wunderschön. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das gesamte Personal – alle waren unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und herzlich. Man hat sich jederzeit willkommen gefühlt. Die Mitarbeiter haben sich sogar unsere Getränke gemerkt und diese oft schon gebracht, bevor wir überhaupt danach fragen mussten. Ein besonderes Dankeschön geht an Dianne und Lia an der Bar – zwei wunderbare Menschen, die unseren Aufenthalt mit ihrer herzlichen Art noch schöner gemacht haben. Auch das Essen war sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich, wenn auch eher fleischlastig. Insgesamt war alles sehr gut organisiert und der gesamte Ablauf vor Ort hat reibungslos funktioniert.

Eigentlich gab es kaum etwas zu beanstanden. Für Veganer oder Vegetarier könnte die Auswahl beim Essen etwas begrenzter sein, da viele Gerichte fleischbasiert sind. Es gab zwar einige vegetarische Optionen, aber insgesamt liegt der Fokus eher auf Fleischgerichten.

"Exceptional"

9.0

We spent two weeks at Canareef Resort Maldives and were very satisfied. Staff welcomed us warmly and upgraded our villa. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, with direct beach access. The resort territory is large but well maintained, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. We preferred the southern part of the island with jacuzzi villas, pools, and the better snorkeling beach. Moving around the island takes 10–15 minutes on foot, though buggies are available. Housekeeping was excellent, done twice daily. Dining was decent: good breakfasts and varied main dishes, though the fruit selection was limited and exotic fruits were rarely available. The New Year gala dinner was outstanding. Snorkeling excursions were enjoyable, but the organization could be clearer: the tour was presented as a personal excursion, yet it turned out to be a small group trip, and this condition was not clearly communicated in advance, which was disappointing. Overall, a comfortable and well-kept resort for a relaxed vacation, though not at a luxury level.

"Ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit einem weiten Blick auf das wunderschöne Meer."

8.0

Das Essen war gut, nur vermisste ich mehr Fisch und Meeresfrüchte. Es gab zwar gegrillten Thunfisch, dies wars dann. Hervorragend war, dass es jeden Tag frisches Trinkwasser in Glasflaschen gab. Das Zimmer war gut, es kam 2x tgl. der Zimmerservice. Die Betten waren hart.Die Dusche und Toilette waren draußen mit einer Mauer außen rum. Fand ich sehr angenehm. Mein Ausblick war der Sonnenaufgang mit Wellenrauschen. Es gab mehrere Strandabschnitte, wo man es sich auf einer Liege gemütlich machen konnte. Da die Insel sehr lang ist, gab es Buggys, welche die Gäste zu den gewünschten zu den gewünschten Ecken gebracht haben. Es ist eine Barfußinsel.

"Stunning resort, super staff, tranquil and romantic"

9.0

Beautiful resort with stunning beaches all along the island. Many bars and restaurants to choose from. We ordered from the à la carte menu in Keymaa restaurant. Special shout out to the F&B team there making our evening dining experiences wonderful (Htin, Than, Marianne, Rahee and Michael). Water sports and excellent excursions are available (additional cost). The villas are quiet, private and steps away from the beach. We especially liked the hot tub and the outdoor shower in the villa. A big attraction for us choosing this resort was the close proximity to the local island. Make sure you go and visit some of the local cafes, shops and meet the local people. They are so friendly!

The bicycles are not as fun as we thought they would be. They are old, unmaintained and uncomfortable making them difficult to ride. There are not enough bikes for all of the guests on the island, which means guests take other people's bikes from outside the restaurants etc.

"Gyönyörű mesés sziget!"

10.0

Nagyon szép sziget,rendkívűl kedves és figyelmes személyzet.! A szállások tiszták,nagyok, és kényelmesek.! Ha tehetnénk minden hónapban visszajönnénk.!

A sziget eléggé messze található Malé nemzetközi repterétől,az átszállásnál sokat kell várni.A hazauþnál gyakorlatilag az utolsó napon semmit nem töltesz a szigeten hiszen hajnalban (1:30) már ébresztenek.Nem tartom korrektnek hogy egész napot felszámolnak.!
