"New Year at Canareef"

10.0

The resort is big, clean and has nice beaches. I like the division between two parts with different restaurants. The new year celebration and especially fireworks were outstanding. Food is ok, average, there is a good selection of bars. Premium villa is very big and they are very focused on cleanliness, cleaning always twice a day. I would like to specially recognize waiter Than from Keyma restaurant, he was always so friendly, helpful, never ignored us, always remembered to greet and was very fast with orders. He is beyond helpful and really deserve to be promoted among other staff. Also i would like to thank adeline from reception and Arafat from cleaning team, they were very helpful and friendly too. Arafat never forget any small details in room, was always cleaning very well and having great attitude. Also one cleaner on 31st december who was cleaning our villa 715 was amazing, he returned several times to make sure all is clean.

Getting there was a nightmare. I understand that resort is not responsible for flight changes but they brought us to lounge far inside the island, we waited 8 hours there, first we waited for hotel representative at the airport for long time and even asked other staff to call him, then the departure from male and arrival to gan were not organized, they kept us standing and waiting for long time, we arrived at 7 am to male but reached hotel at 7 pm. However after arrival to canareef all was super well and reception staff was great.

Красиво и създадено с вкус място за почивка

Еднообразни и неефективни начини , които не дават голяма възможност на почиващите да се чувстват като общество. Става въпрос, че на повечето обществени места липсва музика , която като цяло създава предпоставки за добро настроение и желание за споделени моменти с повече и различни хора.

9.0

Some names are GM of the resort went above and beyond extra miles Chef lakshman Aloy fnb manager Lyn keyma manager Bala chief engineer Sherzod front office manager

Assistant Front Office Manager very rude and disrespectful, not supposed to be in front line meeting guests. Best to relocate her to back of the back of the house where she doesn’t have direct contact with guests
