My husband chose Vakkaru for our trip, and it turned out to be perfect. I know it’s not easy to choose a resort in the Maldives because there are so many options, but Vakkaru met all of my needs and exceeded my expectations. The service at the resort is excellent — the staff are professional, kind, patient, and polite. Our butler, Alam, is a local and was wonderful throughout our stay. He responded to messages very quickly, helped us find the best spots to watch fish, and handled all our reservations. He pays great attention to detail, is always smiling, and speaks English fluently (and even Spanish!). Another staff member, Hasrath, who works at Splash, was also outstanding — professional, enthusiastic, and responsible. He taught us how to fish and helped us spot dolphins during the dolphin cruise. A special mention goes to Made, who works at Anguru and comes from Bali. His cooking skills are exceptional, and he has a wonderful way of creating an engaging atmosphere. The beautiful cooking show he puts on made the dining experience even more memorable. The resort itself is stunning, and the snorkeling is fantastic — even if you don’t book special trips to see turtles or mantas, you can still explore and enjoy the magical underwater world right from the resort. We had an unforgettable experience here and highly recommend it. Read less
