The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah

The villa interiors

Didn’t realize there’s not much of a beach or Maldivian bright blue waters.our beach villa hardly had a beach we could walk into. The restaurants were always booked out as the food in the all inclusive was terrible . Had to wait 45 mins for a buggy . Seems low on staff. Everything was very below average but I think it’s because I’ve been to much better resorts and in comparison it was disappointing. Possibly for others this may be great but coming from Dubai where we are used to high standards , the resort didn’t live up to my expectations. The staff were generally nice but looked over worked & rushed . We ended up paying a lot more for in room dining & spa treatments in order to make up for the lack of beach life . The island is 2 islands in one & very large too . For the right person I’m sure the resort is amazing hence I’m basing this off my previous experiences in Maldives. Plus we didn’t realize we had to take a domestic flight & not. Sea plane to the island .

From start to finish this resort met our expectations and more. The island is large for the Maldives. It means the facilities are nicely spread out. Moving around is easy with the bikes provided to each villa. We had a sunset pool water villa which was amazing. The villa was huge and in great condition. Our standard all inclusive meal plan was very generous and the food was very high quality. The main dining room manager is Haviz. He could not have been more helpful and welcoming. He was always nearby and only too happy to help. The meal plan also included a lunch and dinner each week at one of the 3 other restaurants on the islands. This gave good high quality alternative eating options. We are divers and would like to thank Mike and the rest of the dive team. They laid on some very well organised and wonderful dives. The trips were not busy which is always nice. Overall a great visit and we would highly recommend.

Nothing negative to say

Fabulous room, spectacular views, Food was varied and fresh

Fantastic place, very comfortable accomodation with private pool. Staff always very friendly and nice.

The service was incredibly bad, the worst service I’ve ever experienced. You expect it to be up to standard for a 5star hotel but it was terrible. Waiters were unpleasant, we complaint several times during our stay but nothing changed. The all inclusive package was not really all inclusive, for most of the restaurants where you had to book, there was little option, you had an extra charge for most of the dishes. We will definitely not go back and we don’t recommend it.

The location, villas and the staff were great! We both are vegan and the staff took very good care of us for the breakfast. Overall it was an excellent experience!

Nothing to dislike about the property.
