Beautiful relaxing break from reality

Beautiful island. Would highly recommend - you can relax as much as you want or be kept busy with activities . We enjoyed snorkelling daily even though it was not the greatest weather. It was a little murky. Asela and Saddam from the bar were super helpful, friendly and informative. They also made great cocktails and poured the perfect beer. You haven’t eaten the world’s best omelette or hopper until you’ve eaten Vipulas. He was also friendly and helpful. He made sure we were looked after at the buffet and made sure the fish we caught was to our liking. Nasim cooked it to perfection. The best fish we have ever eaten. Shauka was our waiter at the buffet every day and he made sure we were looked after . We found the food next level - the menu changed daily and was always high level and delicious. Alamin was our room attendant who was respectful and done a great job. Super clean and comfortable rooms. All the girls in Chavana spa were lovely and provided world class massages. Beautiful experiences every time. Thank you for a lovely stay - it was perfect and would highly recommend . We will be back. We enjoyed being on premium all inclusive and would recommend this as meant most of what we wanted and needed was paid before arriving. Read less

They did false advertisement as i had a full all inclusive package and on checkout they refused to give me the discounts that were in our package. My advice to travelers please confirm in writing over email otherwise they would deny it.

water bungalow was amazing, private deck was beautiful. Service was excellent, diving and snorkeling prices are quite high though. I recommend bringing your own set (mask snorkel and fins). I tried diving for the first time after a few days of snorkeling and honestly didn’t see much more than snorkeling. The session lasted probably about one hour for 100$. The beach is quite narrow. There’s another beach behind the buffet restaurant but it’s not taken care of. the date of the Excursion to the local island was not confirmed until the very last moment and we were not able to attend because we were leaving at that point. Buffet was excellent and different every day. Laundry service was amazing. I wish I had seen tripod, their turtle but unfortunately I wasn’t lucky enough 🥹 The reef is amazing 🤩 Read less

Ellaidhoo 4 night stay

Jul 23, 2025 Debbie M

We booked our visit direct via the resort as there was an offer for up to 7 free experiences, including a 45 minute massage, dinner for 2 under the stars, a visit to a neighbouring island, a sunset cruise, fishing trip, visit to a secluded beach and one other that I can’t recall. We had also booked seaplane transfers via the resort as I am uncomfortable travelling on speedboats/it was advertised as a 30 minute transfer as opposed to 1 hour on the boat. We flew in from Sri Lanka and had a 3 hour wait for our connecting seaplane transfer, which we expected as booking had advised up to a 3 hour wait. It was fun watching the planes flying in and out. We had a great flight to resort, but did have to drop other passengers first at another resort quite a way away, so our transfer time took an hour. We were taken to our over water bungalow on arrival which was lovely. Great views, private deck, huge bathroom with outdoor shower and toilet and lots of storage. We had access as part of all inclusive, to 2 x cans of beer and soda water a day in the mini bar as well as bottles of still water. We had a choice of lunch / dinner at the a la carts or buffet restaurants and there were 2 x bars on site. There was also entertainment every night. We ate at the a la carte for lunch and dinner, overlooking the pool and the meals were all good with lovely service from the staff. We were able bit disappointed in the cocktail selection (limited menu and the best cocktails had a price attached) as well as the included wine which was served by the glass out of a cask (Berri estates). The dinner under the stars was really lovely, as was the spa massage. We had also wanted to do the trip to an island/village, but we were advised we couldn’t go as no other guests had indicated an interest in going. We enjoyed the beautiful beach and fantastic snorkelling on the reef. Worth noting there’s a charge for snorkelling gear. Amazing marine life and we relaxed and enjoyed the sunshine for the 4 days we were there. Unfortunately we were advised at 6 pm, when we enquired, that our seaplane departure was scheduled for 7.30 am the following morning for a 3.30 pm connecting flight. This would see us a 7 hour layover. We asked for a later option but told this was not available. We wished we had known this might be an issue prior to booking to allow us to organise an alternative option. We had a lengthy discussion with the staff who eventually agreed to give us a speedboat transfer at 11 am and refund the difference for the seaplane transfer. Worth mentioning for other people thinking about transfer options. Otherwise, we had a good stay - 4 days was enough for us - and feel like we’ve experienced the Maldives and wonderful natural marine life and friendly people. Read less
