Pleasant Stay
Overall was very good particularly the customer service was extremely good. Hotel management team was very present & approachable. However we were all expecting air conditioning throughout in the water villa especially it’s an enclosed bathroom. There was no AC nor fan in the bathroom and was recommended not to open the door in between the bedroom & bathroom which caused condensation. We tried but the heat/humidity made it hard to do whatever for a minute or 2 without sweating. This was very disappointing for 4.5* resort. Food was ok, plenty to choose from and will not go hungry. We were AI and drinks were included which were very good. The Chefs even provided us with custom made fish dishes which were very delicious. My friends did the fishing excursion but the Maldivian style was not for anyone but there weren’t any fishing rods as another option. We didn’t do any of the free excursions as weather wasn’t on our side. We stayed on the water villa and there were many fishes around for snorkeling but be aware that the bottom of the water was very rocky so water shoes are the must. Chanaka, the Guest Experience Manager was very helpful and made sure all guests enjoying their time on the island & leaving there with a big smile. It was a pleasant stay with few minor hiccups. Thank you for taking care of us.

We have just returned from an amazing holiday on Amaya Kuda Rah and are already missing the resort!! All the staff and mangers were welcoming, attentive and very friendly. A special shoutout to Imam, Akbaar, Mangu, Nazeer and all the chefs; they all went above and beyond to look after us! The island is absolutely beautiful and there is so much to see in the ocean around the island, definitely visit the guys in the dive centre! The island is really well kept and well managed. If your looking for a relaxing holiday then it’s the perfect place however don’t forgot to bring mosquito spray and bite cream!

My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon at the Amaya Kuda Rah. We had an amazing experience. The staff were extremely pleasant and accommodating. We appreciated the boutique resort feel. There was one restaurant with very attentive staff. Meals were often in a buffet style but we noticed that the best offerings were from nights offering limited menu items.

We couldn’t have better things to say about this resort. If you are considering it - book it now! It will be the trip of a lifetime. The photos really don’t do justice to the beauty of this island and something that doesn’t translate in photos is the level of service. Even though the island had many other guests, you are treated and feel like you are the only one there. The island is quiet and small (a real advantage for getting around). It has an intimate and tranquil feeling. Let’s talk about the world class service- from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, they treated us like royalty. We were immediately greeted at the airport, guided to our sea plane and then greeted by the lovely staff, including Eve, aboard the boat. Once arriving at the reception area, we were given a welcome drink, told about everything we needed to know and then whisked off to our gorgeous water bungalow. Book the bungalow, it’s amazing! During our stay we did many excursions, which were fantastic. We took out jetskis with Ira, which was just fantastic. We went diving a few times with Mirko and Suna and even saw a whale shark. We also received massages at the spa, which was delightful. The staff on the island is wonderful. Feny and Misal in the food services were incredible. Akbar and Angel at the Glow Bar were awesome and our roomboy, Ahmed, did sweet things like leaving us towel animals for our return. This is an amazing resort. Trip of a lifetime!!

Very nice stay
Great place. Pretty good buffet, Great private pool water villa overlooking shallow lagoon and ocean. Some staff were very good, but some seemed to be really pushing for a tip and others very difficult to understand. They call it a smoke free resort, but were offered an ash tray when we first sat down. People in restaurant were smoking. Mandatory Xmas eve gala was very disappointing, relative to the almost USD 300 they charged us OVER the all inclusive fee

Excellent property! Without doubt with very good staff and set up. Very well designed property. One of the most calm and soothing islands in Maldives. Spa not so great. Bit of a travel from Male. Getting here is expensive. But worth it. Excellent scuba and watersports options. Very clean and best of service and products.
