Everything about our honeymoon at the resort exceeded our expectations. From the very moment we arrived at the airport until the day we left, the service was truly first-class. Everything was organized so well that I did not have to worry about anything at all — Our only job was to relax and enjoy a wonderful holiday.

As enthusiastic divers, we specifically chose this resort because of its reef and its dive center and it turned out to be the perfect decision. We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Aquafanatics Dive Center. Every single dive felt unique and special, carefully planned and guided with great attention to detail. The spots had a lot of fish, healthy coral (sometimes with a massive amount of soft coral) and no other diving boats!! The team at Aquafanatics is very professional and still very welcoming. It felt like a little scubafamily, where everyone knew exactly what to do at any time. What impressed us the most was the exceptional level of service. It is genuinely second to none and we have never experienced anything like it before. From the warm welcome to the professional guidance and personal care throughout, everything was simply perfect. I forgot an important piece of equipment for my camera back home and they even managed to organize a backup. If you’re looking for unforgettable dives and a team that goes above and beyond, Aquafanatics is the place to be. Highly recommended! The resort should definitely promote its diving more, as it is truly something special and absolutely unique. Read less

We spend our honeymoon at Avani+ Fares and had a wonderful time. From the arrival until the departure the service was excellent and outstanding. At the beggining of our stay we had a room on the beach side (beach villa) - which was super clean, beautiful and cozy, the rest of our stay we were at a water villa which was incredible. The location on baa atoll is great as the island is not too small and not too big and you have a lot of activities to do. The only thing we would point out is the space in the room to store the clothes. Some more drawers would be great. We can definitely recommend the hotel, the atmosphere and a vacation at Avani+ Fares Read less
