Honeymoon's adventure
Reviewed By varvvMany thanks for the paradise that the hotel team managed to make for us. It was an unforgettable stay: perfect service, great selection of great food, premium alcohol and of course mesmerizing views. We would like to express special gratitude to our manager Faya, he did for us, it seems to me, even more than he could. Any of our questions and non-standard requests were fulfilled almost instantly and everywhere we were met. Faya - you are the best, know it :) Also thanks to sommelier Joseph, who told us which wine to choose for a particular dish every lunch and it was super. Hope to come back in this paradise.

Stunning island!
Reviewed By VinalPMy husband and I booked a 7 night stay at You & Me - we were entitled to a room upgrade upon arrival, which the resort refused to honour until 10 telephone calls and 3 days later. We were given the Dolphin villa which we had initially booked but should have been upgraded to the Dolphin villa with pool. Unfortunately 3 nights later when the resort finally accepted responsibility for their mistake, the dolphin villa with pool was unavailable and we were given the Aqua suite instead. This was merely a bigger version of the dolphin villa. Although the room was spacious, it was not the space we were looking forward to, it was actually the pool. In an attempt to rectify the situation, we were offered the aqua suite with pool plus the floating breakfast experience on our last night / morning. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the aqua suite with pool for a night however, it further highlighted what we had missed out on 3 of our 7 night stay, due to the inefficiency of the reservations team. The floating breakfast was a fabulous and unique experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. The a la carte concept and food options were not particularly appealing and I found the food portions to be inadequate however, this issue was promptly addressed. Dilshaad, the fabulous food and beverage manager was exceptional in his attempts to remedy the situation by offering to prepare meals which better suited my taste by chef Shibnath, who’s culinary skills are second to none. I was fortunate enough to eat several meals prepared by Chef Shibnath during my stay and every single dish was exceptionally delicious. Being of Indian heritage, I am familiar with most Indian dishes however, those prepared by Shibnath were amongst the best I have ever eaten. The Indian buffet on Friday nights were one of the highlights of my stay - this is not to be missed!! The island is stunning however, the absolute highlight of my stay was engaging with the amazing people who work at this resort. On our first night, we had the pleasure of meeting Navee at The Sands restaurant - Navee proved to be extremely knowledgable in terms of food on offer and helpful at suggesting alternatives when an option didn’t appeal to us. He was very friendly, funny and pleasant despite being very busy on most days. Ravi, Anu, Jessica, and Ahmed were also faces we looked forward to seeing each day. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them. They were super friendly, took the time to chat and were never without a beautiful smile on their face. My husband and I were also blown away by just how friendly, helpful and engaging Saroj was. We were taken aback by his efforts to engage in conversation despite always being super busy cooking - we loved chatting to him & every time we did, we walked away more knowledgable than we arrived. Prem is an exceptional dessert chef - the cakes and pastries on offer were delicious and something to look forward to at meal times. He too was wonderfully pleasant. Prathap isn’t a guy that’s easy to forget - he was always a friendly face at Cheers bar. He was great to chat to and made the best raspberry cooler with a touch of sprite, which fast became my favourite drink. Our host Jazey also featured at the top of our favourite people list during our stay. Jazey is a genuinely wonderful guy who proved to be extremely helpful, kind and easy to get along with for the duration of our stay. I cannot thank him enough for the effort he invested in making our stay a comfortable and pleasant one. Massive thanks to Inthi who tried his level best to ensure that the issues we raised were addressed and we were comfortable and happy for the remainder of our stay. All of the people mentioned above are a huge credit to You & Me, and I really hope that they are recognised for their efforts in contributing to making my stay a memorable one.

Furaveri….island paradise
Reviewed By 72dinoFuraveri Island Spa and Resort We were told that the meaning is lasting impression and it has to be said it has left an enduring impression of sheer delight. We travelled as two couples and were there for two weeks, and my wife had her 60th birthday there (more on that later). I have been to the Maldives before and stayed in an excellent resort, this was, however, on another level and slightly cheaper being on the affordable 5* luxury end of the scale. On arrival, following a seaplane transfer, we were shown to our Villas which were beach villas with private terrace and walk out directly to the beach, the room was enormous and extremely well appointed. The outdoor bathroom fun and spacey with two showers and a pedestal bath. The bed comfortable and air conditioning efficient The mini bar was well stocked. The buffet restaurant had themed evenings, food was constantly being cooked fresh and re supplied, it was delicious and there was something for everyone’s taste, the pasta station, egg station and specialised dishes were excellent. The bar is spacious and well stocked with over 50 cocktails to choose from, all using branded drinks, honestly if you cannot find something to your taste then I would be surprised. Entertainment was laid on each evening. The beaches are pristine and there is an incredible array of tropical fish within a paddle of the beach, in particular a very large parrot fish that was happy to swim around not to mention the baby black tip sharks. The reef is great for snorkelling and just general paddling swimming is safe in crystal clear waters. The island is small but there is a buggy shuttle available for anyone needing a bit of help, or just being lazy, the spa has a vast selection of treatments and massages and is a lovely environment in its own right. The two specialist restaurants (Asian and Mexican) are excellent, All in all it is a paradise and you simply could not ask for more…. BUT the single most incredible asset the resort has is its staff. I have stayed in many resorts in many places and always like to interact with the staff etc. on Furaveri there are members of staff from wide and afar, most have done several seasons there, returning year after year, they are happy friendly and have a great sense of ownership of the resort and it is literally a family, they will all go more than the xtra mile to make your stay something special. And everyone was treated with the same level of service. Although there were none that I can fault some did stand out, and if you do visit take the time to chat to them they will make it a special experience for you. The resort Manager Michal is a true gentleman, he arranged an amazing evening and a day of treats for my wife on her birthday, we were hosted in the Asian restaurant where the set menu was a little problematic for her as she is vegetarian, but they made a special meal and all was cooked fresh. We just needed to ask. Michal also invited us to try the first day of a New Mexican menu in the specialist Mexican restaurant to give feedback, again it was awesome, the chef is Mexican and the taste authentic, the food was freshly prepared and catered for both a vegetarian and someone who didn’t want anything too spicy. Michal’s deputy Pirbin was equally accommodating and helpful. We spent loads of time talking to them and their enthusiasm rubs off on all the staff. Manu, a lovely lady, who was in charge of a section of the restaurant made you feel like friends from the moment we arrived. Gopal a waiter who was attentive and friendly, and became a true friend. Other waiters of note were Ashraf and Aamir who all made the whole experience a treat At the pasta, egg and specialist stations Nisha was all too willing to make something individual to cater for vegetarian or a particular preference. In the bar Jau, Rishad, Rohit and Hassan all deserve a mention. Our room was serviced by Sohib and Maadin who even gave their numbers to call if there was something we needed out of hours. And Ahmad, the principle entertainer was a great putting on a fire eating show and other general entertainment. I struggle to think of any negatives, it is a truly amazing place with everything you could ask for. Thank you for a great holiday

The most amazing well-being retreat in the Maldives
Reviewed By ZeldivaLuxuryWe stayed in Joali Being for two nights on a fam trip. It was amazing experience. The villas are really big and spacious with a big pool in each villa. The staffs were really caring and professional. Food was excellent. They serve the food according to the dietary requirements for a healthy lifestyle. The best treatment facilities for a wellbeing. The best spa treatment I have ever experienced. The island is very calm and quiet. I wish if I could have stayed there more than two nights since a proper treatment for the body will require at least 5 nights stay. The best is 21 days if looking for a proper mind, skin, microbiome & energy therapy.

Honeymoon in the Maldives
Reviewed By cheremisinovkWe spent our honeymoon in this wonderful hotel in the Maldives! I liked everything very much, there were questions about food, for our taste it turned out to be not very varied food, although we also visited ala carte restaurants. The nature is very beautiful, the ocean is transparent. A variety of sharks, stingrays, everything is very interesting! The staff is polite and friendly! feel free to fly and relax!

Honeymoon on Reethi Faru Resort Maldives jkj
Reviewed By wendybT9487SVThis place is truly paradise. It was our honeymoon and it certainly lived up to expectations of what you would dream about. The staff were so friendly. The resort was so clean everywhere on island. The water villa we stayed in was just perfect. We can't remember the name of our housekeeper but he kept our tea and coffee topped up and ensured we always had plenty of fresh water. We had all inclusive dine around package which was always available to us. We used the in resort app which made life so simple for requests. Ali in the main restaurant was a happy soul and always welcoming. In fact all staff friendly and nothing was too much effort. We took up snorkeling and now have the desire to do more. It felt safe here and the dive centre staff certainly made me feel confident in the water. The highlight of the trip was an excursion to see Manta Ray. We saw 40 plus and the experience will live with me forever. Around the island snorkeling we saw turtle and sharks ( little ones) which was also amazing. Truly an excellent resort. We want to come back because the experience was just so magical.
