We would recommend this hotel (we came for our honeymoon). We spent some time researching other hotels at a similar price point but settled on this one due to the outstanding reviews. We are pleased to report that this place does indeed live up to expectations (and glowing reviews). Rooms We spent 7 nights here (3 X beach villa and 4 X over the water villa with pool). There are pros and cons for each villa but, on balance, they are special in their own way. There are bicycles outside each villa which is convenient when you need to hop-foot it to your next activity! Restaurants We were apprehensive that we might get bored of the food with the all-inclusive package but there are different restaurants to choose from with a myriad of genres and food selection. There are also sommeliers who will help you with the inclusive wine selection (fancy). You’ll only wish that you had two stomachs to eat everything. We are definitely going back heavier than when we arrived as we found the food excellent; chef’s kiss. Activities There were a lot of things to do at the resort from snorkelling/sea sports to padel to massages to dolphin watching. Some activities are complementary, and some are chargeable. The prices are as to be expected at a resort but all activities were thoroughly enjoyable. We did the “Heart of the House” tour (complementary) where we glimpsed behind the curtain of the resort (i.e., where the resort gets its water and how waste is managed) which was actually superb. Staff Finally, we must commend the staff. Everyone here from server to security guard to villa host to management deserves a gold star. There is a difference between service and hospitality, (forgive the pretentiousness) and this place gets it right. Everyone is willing to literally bend over backwards to look after you. We were impressed by the professionalism, warmth, care, and pride in work that each person exhibits. This is testament to the general manager Patrick who is ever-present and personable. A special shout out to our villa host, Fayaz, who organised our life for the week with a smile and F&B manager, Arres, who checked in on us every day. All we can say is have high expectations, and watch them be exceeded. Read less

Apekcha was our dedicated butler throughout our stay. Young, vibrant and lovely, she paid close attention to every little detail of our trip with great patience and thoughtfulness, offering thoughtful reminders and impeccable service. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Emerald Faru, and these days have become an unforgettable memory for our whole family. Thanks to Apekcha and the resort team, our romantic anniversary setup, delicious floating breakfast and surprise excursion to spot sea turtles and manta rays were perfectly arranged. My wife and daughter had an amazing time. Boasting pristine turquoise waters, this island is a true paradise for vacation. I will highly recommend Emerald Faru to all my friends. The stunning emerald scenery is etched in our hearts forever, and we sincerely hope to come back and reunite with you all again someday. Read less
