We loved every part of the resort and the staff — it was absolutely incredible!

May 20, 2025 JIHYE U

Although it was an expensive trip, we were truly happy and satisfied. It was worth every penny. The island and the resort were breathtaking, but what impressed us most was the staff. They were always there for us — so kind, constantly smiling, and always ready to say "yes" to anything we needed. The level of service was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. Even after spending nearly €5000 for three nights in Paris or the U.S., we’ve never received this kind of hospitality. From the beginning to the end, our stay at Emerald Resort was absolutely amazing. On the last day, we had to take a seaplane at 7 a.m., so we didn’t expect any breakfast or services. But to our surprise, they delivered a delicious and incredible breakfast to our room, allowing us to enjoy our final morning in the Maldives. It was such a thoughtful gesture — a perfect ending to a perfect trip. We highly recommend this resort especially for the honeymoon and will definitely be returning! Special thanks to: Manic from the bar, Siri from the restaurant, Ramses butler and team who decorated our honeymoon suite, Anthony bartender who gave me a personal cocktail class (I named it as a Jihye’s cocktail) as a substitute for the class that was cancelled due to rain, Shiva sommelier, and the restaurant staffs that after long walk, i arrived late at a breakfast bar, but the staffs kindly let me in and made me a meal even though breakfast time had already passed. And house keepers who we never met but always made our room clean and kept our drinks and snacks stocks full, i want to say thanks to every staff actually! Read less

An utter paradise

May 19, 2025 Daniel S

I stayed with my family over 10 days in the resort which was absolutely spectacular. The staff were incredibly friendly and always happy to help no matter the request. A special note on our villa host Wisham who was more than happy to assist at a moments notice with any requests any of us staying had. Truly could not fault his service. The amenities in the villas were wonderful. Plenty of space and a pool out on the deck with views to die for. Every dining experience we had was also wonderful, again with more than attentive staff and food that was sensational on every occasion. Also an abundance of activities from snorkelling (with gear provided), authentic Maldivian line fishing and even a back of house tour which I would highly recommend anyone visiting to go on to truly appreciate all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make everyone’s stay perfect. We had a spectacular stay and look forward to hopefully returning in the future! Read less

Exceptional Maldives Resort

May 19, 2025 Malcolm M

Arrived home today after a long flight (10 hours). Oh but was it worth it? yes indeed it was. Northing was too much trouble for the staff to make our 7 person family stay an absolutely perfect one. Our waterside villas were spacious and well appointed with a large bathroom, a comfortable bed, a large outside decking area with plunge pool. There was plenty of indoor and outside seating, with shade if required. Beautifully laundered towels were replaced every day. Our five star all inclusive stay, was truly all inclusive, with our room bar replenished every day, snorkelling gear provided and high quality food was available from all of the a la carte restaurants. The two bars on the resort truly wowed us with the comprehensive selection of wines and spirits and exciting cocktails. Worthy of particular note on our stay was our villa host Wisham, his quiet and polite demeanour and "nothing was too much" attitude was outstanding. Also, My husband Malcolm would like to thank the staff who helped him by carrying his plate whilst he negotiated the few steps he had difficulty descending, all of them gave their help without question and with an attitude of "its no problem". There are too many to mention but those who's name come to mind are:- Naresh (Beach Grill) Areej (Beach Grill), Meraj (helped Malcolm in Restaurants), Azmeel (had infectious smile) in Sunset Bar) Al Haas (L'Asianque), and Yasi (Beach Grill and wine tasting) Thank you all for a fabulous stay. We really do hope be able to come and see you again. Linda and Malcolm Mason and the Sanders family. Read less

activities arrangement

If there are colleagues available, they could introduce and arrange activities within the hotel, such as snorkeling, diving, and fishing, to make the whole trip more fulfilling. The first couple of days were wasted, so there should be better arrangements.

Marvellous Maldives Resort

May 18, 2025 mark135800 Nottingham

Just arrived home after a fantastic stay at Emerald Maldives. We were on a family trip with 7 of us staying and nothing was too much trouble for the team at the resort. Our four amazing water villas were arranged to be next to each other and before arrival we had organised restaurant reservations at the a la carte restaurants. Our villa host, Wisham, took care of our every need, helping organise activities, transport and amendments to the schedule to meet our needs - he was incredibly responsive and supportive. The resort is incredibly well maintained and is beautiful. Our water villas had a large outdoor deck, pool and steps down to the sea. The villas themselves are large and have fantastic bathrooms, comfortable beds and indoor and outdoor seating areas and those "oh-wow" views of the sea. The all inclusive arrangement really is all inclusive, with some super restaurants, a comprehensive wine and spirits list and two bars on the resort serving up exciting cocktails. They're very proud of their set up, to the point that you can go on a "back of house" tour to see how it all works. Snorkelling gear is included and the staff help to guide you to the best locations to see the underwater sealife. Regular excursions are available to go further afield if you want to explore. We loved it and a big thanks to the team at the resort for looking after us. Read less
