I originally was going to stay at this resort for 7 days 6 nights to celebrate our anniversary. Due to the war in Iran we had to change our itinerary and adjust to 6 days 5 nights. I contacted reservations@ozen-maadhoo.com as for one night that we were not going to stay at the resort $1,973.75 is supposed to be refunded back to me. I sent them all my bank information for the wire transfer to take place since Feb. 27th! It’s May 6th and still nothing. We are talking about 2 months. This is unacceptable for any resort. They keep telling me due to Ramadan holiday there is a delay. I am more than understanding but them not responding and ignoring emails makes it feel where is your empathy towards the customer with the bad customer service experience I’m receiving! Our trip was from March 16-21 and Anu was absolutely amazing. Everyone there is truly delightful but if they have to do a refund it’s impossible to get a hold of someone. No one knows what is going on. At this resort if you do activities you pay the outstanding balance at the end of your stay. We paid $1,209.78 and were told our refund was already processed so we couldn’t use the $1,973.75 for any credit. Understandable! Again we travel often! I just don’t understand how during Ramadan you are available to take the money for the stay or booking if you will but for a refund that is the excuse that is being used. My husband and I were so happy to return next year. Due to this experience we will never return! Beware that they don’t owe you any money or that you need a refund because they don’t respond and just lie! My next step is contacting my credit card. Unacceptable. What a disappointment of a resort!

I visited Ozen Life Maadhoo for my 50th birthday with my boyfriend. The Maldives is a destination I have been wanting to visit for at least half my life. It was very overwhelming trying to narrow down a place but after many YouTube videos and chatting with Maren at Voyager Guru I picked Ozen Life. It had everything I wanted. We had an over the water villa with a slide and jacuzzi that was on the sunrise side. The week we were there was amazing. The staff made us feel special, Shuhad our butler was just a what’s app message away for anything we needed. We had amazing massages from Yumang and Sujita. Zoona was a friendly face we looked forward to seeing at The Palms for any meal. Anhil was a great server we had got to know at many of the restaurants. Munnu was the restaurant manager making sure everyone was happy with their meal and service. Preveen was the sushi chef that brought me a special birthday surprise. Sunni was the chef at the specialty restaurant Indoceylon. One day at breakfast he came up to us and told us we could request anything we wanted, even if it wasn’t on the menu and he would make it. Thankfully we were going the following night and couldn’t wait to see what he could whip up. Everything there was so delicious. We had my birthday dinner at M6M. What an atmosphere! I made sure the reservation was made in advance because I wanted to spend my special day in a special place. Service was fantastic. We were lucky enough to see a turtle while dining. I came back to the room that night and our amazing room attendant Furugaan had decorated the bed and drawn a bubble bath with rose petals. What a wonderful surprise! I did attend yoga, core and crunch class, and an aqua Zumba class. I thought it was great they offered these classes. Ozen’s all inclusive option was best for us and was truly all inclusive. One day we had lunch at Lonu, special Maldivian restaurant. It was tasty for me but my boyfriend doesn’t eat seafood. He had a chicken dish there and then second lunch at Palms. 😊 The journey there from the US is far but definitely worth it. I hope to return one day and will hold the memories made there close to my heart until I do. Read less

The experience is great. The butler service is very enthusiastic. The food in the Chinese restaurant is also quite good.
