Maafushivaru 島海灘

The resort is already open for 45 years, which is the oldest resort in Maldives. Yet old doesn’t mean old fashioned or not being competitive, their flexible operation really brought us a wonderful trip in Maldives. You may not like to listen to the sound when the aircraft passes by cuz it is very close to airport, it makes you more than satisfactory in other ways. It’s a nice yacht to drive u from airport to the resort. The staff is nice when showing u around with a golf car. Everyone is helpful in the resort. Originally we should have only booked 4 nights, yet hk was having typhoon and we have no choice but to delay our flight. We were so frustrated of not be able to find a place to stay. Yet the resort assured us immediately by saying we could extend the nights even we are not sure how many nights we need to extend. They did their best to correspond our arrangement and allow us to pay the rent after our stay. They will organise some complimentary event for the guests like yoga class, painting class or even cocktail party for free... they may not be the most beautiful, spectacular resort in maldives but they are no doubt the warmest staff i have ever met! Really appreciate your hospitality

The deluxe sunset overwater villa has amazing view and the response from the staff via the resort app is prompt, the rooms are cleaned and tided up in professional manner, but it takes some time to have warm water from the shower, it is a bit difficult to adjust the temperature of the water, either too hot or not hot enough and the water pressure could be higher. Most staff are nice and friendly, except one or two catering staff. Most of them greet with friendly smile even when walking past. Food was amazing, especially in ocean, food variety was great, the chefs are friendly and helpful. But it is a bit too warm in the restaurants and bar, air conditioning could be improved. The dolphin viewing cruise and snorkelling with sharks are both once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend to others. The response of the resort via email before arrival could be quicker. Would be better if details of different meal plans and restaurant menus can be sent as reference without asking. We overall had a wonderful stay at Centara Ras Fushi.
