Genuinely cared for us to have the best, easiest and most beautiful experience. Being able to message at any time was fantastic, and receiving dining and activity schedule each morning meant we did not have to think about anything! Sad that I don’t remember everyone’s names, but ALL the staff, in every restaurant were wonderful, friendly, genuine and very attentive. Thanks to Sham who was great! The food is phenomenal, rooms outstanding but the service is off the charts! Thank you for making our time here just perfect. Apekcha you will be missed! 🥰 Read less

We had a family holiday of lifetime to Emerald Faarufushi. The island and resort are absolutely spectacular, but the are equalled by the amazingly friendly and attentive staff. We couldn’t have experienced better customer service, and everyone will bend over backwards to look after you. Special thanks go to Bagus, our house cleaner, Ram and Neema, sommeliers, Adel, maitre d’, Fayaz, villa host, Akash and especially Sonu, amazing barmen. The food was also incredible. Enjoyed our teppanyaki experience, and the Asian tapas restaurant Asiatique served the best green curry I have ever tasted. The buffet restaurant excelled at every meal, and the Maldivian night was our favourite. Booked through Simply maldives. Again, best customer service we’ve ever experienced. If you want to be treated like and feel like royalty, you won’t go wrong here. Read less
