Gnaviyani Atoll Holiday Packages

We stayed here for 13 nights for our honeymoon, booked the fullboard option and stayed in their Sky Studio. * Facilities - Beautiful, brand new, look exactly like the photos. We thought this is a 5 star resort but it's only a 4 star resort. * Beach - beatiful but you CAN'T swim there because there's DEAD CORALS shell everywhere, (we recommend bringing swimming shoes if you want to swim here) and there's also a smell of dead seaweed on one side of the lagoon near their restaurant Smoked. * Food on Fullboard option means eating at their FLAVOUR Restaurant 3 meals a day for 13 days - food is terrible, tastes like cheap pub food but COLD cheap pub food. On the 6th day of our stay, we made a formal complaint to their Headquarter. They took the complaint seriously and food was good for the next 4 days, we saw chefs from Seadragon & Smoked helping out the Flavour Buffet restaurant and we was happy with that. However, on the last 3 days food is BAD again. Food was luke warm/COLD again, meat was not fresh. We were disappointed that when they are not under supervision, quality of the restaurant is low but we didn't want to complain again becausewe didn't see a point. * Yoga & Fitness class - Top notch * Other restaurants - Smoked - top notch 5/5, we paid extra to eat here because we were fed up with FLAVOUR, impressed with their Angus Steak and Wagyu steak, really good food. - Seadragon - 4/5 - good live fish. Overall we enjoyed ourselves but we just expected more.

The location of the The Residence was spectacular.We woke up seeing the sunrise and had dinner watching the sunset.The pool water was clean.The rooms were clean.The Decor, the furniture, the mattress and pillows all very comfortable.The food was just delicious.There was no cars on the island and we loved the quietness and the stillness in the environment.As usual the best part was the people who looked after us .Each and every staff was kind and responded to all our demands at any time of the day.We loved the people.The service was the best we ever had in our travelling lives-New York,Chicago,LA,Paris,London,Milan etc etc.We hope to make another trip in a few more years. The staff even had Lactose free milk when requested.

The Coco counter is just a one minute walk once you clear immigration and collect you luggage. The resort rep meets and greets you promptly on arrival and takes you to the waiting medium sized speed boat. Bodu Hithi resort is about 40 miniutes by boat. The island is beautifully laid out with shady pathways leading to the island villas. The island villas have a very private feel, large with a private plunge pool on one end and the other end leading towards the beach. great experiance. The water is warm and the weather was fine. Plenty of activities - yoga, JetSki hire, snorkelling, diving to choose from. The staff give you a very warm welcome on arrival and also ensure that you get a nice send and off. I also liked the weekly beach cocktail party thrown by the management to get feedback from guests.

This resort island is amazing. Chrystal clear turquoise waters, with lots of sea life, surround the resort. The accommodation, a garden bungalow, was clean and comfortable. The food and drinks included in the package was amazing. There was something to please everyone - presentation 10/10. Staff were friendly, always had smile for you. Very helpful staff at reception. Could not fault this holiday in any way. Sad to leave.
