1.关于岛位置和住：很宁静，植被茂密，很典型的马代度假小岛。离机场较近，快艇不到30分钟到达。岛上虽然没有水屋，不过我们住的beach front sunset view Villa 非常不错，就挨着海边，房间里就能看到沙滩大海。海景无敌，心旷神怡。入户有个绿植通道，开门左手边有个小泳池，还有私人躺椅。房间里是原木自然风，有2米大床 。房间挑高够高，空调也很给力。小吧台每天有免费的茶跟咖啡，水不够喝可以再打电话要。卫生间部分是传统的半开放式，室内室外都有淋浴。靠海便的门口有躺椅，高级房型还有个延伸到海边的凉亭（水榭），可以躺在亭子里吹海风，听海声，看海景，一望无际的玻璃海，好不惬意。
2.关于活动：4晚5天的行程，酒店安排的活动很丰富，我们参加了海豚巡航，日落垂钓，鸡尾酒会，篝火晚会（马代传统手鼓舞），还有一次按摩。都非常有趣，现在都记得看到海豚跃出海面时大家的欢呼声，还有钓到人生第一条鱼时的激动心情哈哈。
3.浮潜：每天都浮潜了1~2次，除了瓦宾法鲁本岛，还可以去姐妹岛的Ihuru，水下资源都很丰富。我自己看到了很多水下生物，认得出的有小丑鱼（都在海葵附近），形状各异的海星海参，扳机鱼，黑鳍鲨，石斑鱼，长鼻鱼，砗磲，还有好多叫不出名字的鱼类。最后一天去Ihuru环岛浮潜很幸运，还看到了在进食的海龟。浮潜环境的话Ihuru的珊瑚海沟离岸边很近，从指示牌下水后不用游很远就能看到很多珊瑚跟鱼，会比较省体力。瓦宾法鲁本身也不错，比起一些大岛，浮潜也算很近了。大部分珊瑚状态都很好，五颜六色的，白化珊瑚比较少。并且那几天基本都是大晴天，浮潜时候的光线非常棒，视野很好，潜水爱好者狂喜。（A级浮潜这也是我选择这个岛的主要原因之一）
4.关于用餐：我们订的是HB，早餐是在SAFFRON(Thai)餐厅（自助），晚餐一晚是在MADI HIYAA（是日本餐厅，三道菜式），一晚是自助（Sangu Garden）还有两晚是Saffon(三道菜式)。中饭可以自费到餐厅吃，或者自己准备些食物，sunset fishing那天钓的鱼我们选了第二天中午吃，酒店会免费烹饪，很好吃。因为是亚洲的酒店集团旗下的，这边餐食都还不错，中国胃也不用担心。
5.服务：岛上的作人员（比如餐厅，出海活动，还有机场接机）都友善热情，宾至如归。
这里还要特别感谢我们的管家Liu，她非常热情，很负责，帮忙协调活动的内容，积极解答各种问题。离岛最后一天还帮忙调整checkout的时间，一直送我们上快艇。真切感受到她是真心为客人在考虑。性格直爽，幽默又可爱，觉得她更像是一位朋友。Liu，希望下次还有机会见到你！
另外也想感谢在Ihuru吧台工作的的讲中文的员工小姐姐！第一次去Ihuru浮潜的那天给了我们很多有用建议，多谢！
总之，这是个让人流连忘返的小岛。有机会还想再来！
Here is the English review using translate tool：
1. Regarding the island's location and the room: it is a very peaceful island with dense vegetation, a typical Maldivian resort island. It is close to the airport, reachable by speedboat in less than 30 minutes. no ocean villa here but the beach front sunset view villa we stayed in was excellent. It was right next to the sea, and we could see the beach and the ocean from the room. The sea view was stunning and refreshing. There was a greenery path at the entrance; to the left of the door, there was a small swimming pool and private lounge chairs. The room was circular with a large bed, the air conditioning worked great. The mini-bar had free tea and coffee every day. If we needed more water, we could call for it. The bathroom is in the traditional style, with both indoor and outdoor showers. There were lounge chairs at the door near the sea, and a pavilion (water pavilion) extending to the seaside, where we could lie down, enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the sound of the waves, and gaze at the endless glass-like sea—it was so pleasant.
2. Regarding activities: During the 4-night and 5-day trip, the hotel arranged a variety of activities. We participated in dolphin cruises, sunset fishing, cocktail parties, bonfire parties (with traditional Maldivian hand drum dances), and also had a massage. They were all really fun. I still remember the exclamations from everyone when we saw dolphins leaping out of the sea, and the excitement when I caught my first fish in life.
3.Snorkeling ：We went snorkeling once or twice every day. Besides the reef of Vabbinfaru, we also went to its sister island, Dhawa Ihuru. The underwater resources were rich. I saw many marine creatures including clownfish, starfish and sea cucumbers of various shapes, triggerfish, blacktip reef sharks, groupers, longnose fish, and giant clams. On the last day, when I went snorkeling around Ihuru, I even saw a sea turtle, so cute! The corals in Ihuru were very close to the shore, no need swim far you can see many corals. Vabbinfaru was also good. Most of the corals were in good condition, colorful and brightly colored. Luckly those days were mostly sunny, with good daylight, so the visibility during snorkeling was very nice (The top snorkeling experience was one of the reasons I chose this island.)
4. Dining: We booked HB. Breakfast was at SAFFRON (a Thai restaurant/ buffet). For dinner, we had one night at MADI HIYAA (a Japanese restaurant with a three-course menu), one night at a buffet (Sangu Garden), and two nights at Saffron(course menu). Lunch could be eaten at the restaurant at our own expense, or could prepare some food ourselves. The three fish we caught on the sunset fishing day, we chose to have for lunch the next day, the resort offered free cooking and it was really tasty.
5. The staff here(on the restaurant and boat, etc.) are very friendly, their service is deeply impressive and touching.
A special thanks to Liu. She was very enthusiastic and responsible, helping us book restaurants and actively coordinating activity details. On the last day when we left the island, she even helped adjust the checkout time and accompanied us all the way to the speedboat. We truly felt that she sincerely cared about the guests. With her humorous, and lovely personality, felt more like a friend. Liu, hope we get to meet again next time.
I also want to thank the Chinese-speaking lady working at the bar in Ihuru—she gave us many useful suggestions on the first day we went snorkeling there.
