VARU by Atmosphere - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing time, a week of sun and no rain. Very organised transfer to and from Varu via speed boat. Our room was the water suite with endless views of the sea. Good selection of food at Lime and Chili. Teppanyaki was worth the extra cost, managed to book the restaurant without sharing it with other guests. All staff friendly and welcoming. Managed to get lots of things done on the Island from star gazing, spa treatments, watching the sun rise and set!"
"Probably the best hotel I’ve stayed in and my partner agrees too. Staff everywhere were great especially at check in desk. We only needed 2 nights as we were stuck in Male following a last minute flight cancellation. The room was great, ocean view room, it was big, clean, quiet and had everything in it you need, bed was massive and comfy. Hotel had a few different restaurants which served great food, the breakfast buffet was probably the best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel. Rooftop pool was lovely with a snack bar for food and drinks, plenty of sun beds and places to sit/lie down. Free airport shuttle too and a well-equipped gym. There was a convenient 24-hour supermarket around the corner.
Just all round such a nice hotel and could have stayed longer."
"Airport pick-up was really efficient as was check-in. All staff in the hotel were very friendly, professional and helpful. Room had everything that you need for a stop over - TV, minibar, aircon. The room, bed and duvet were on the small side. It was very loud outside throughout the night, however part of this was due to the extra prayer calls during Ramadan. The rooftop restaurant had very good food and very good service, for a very affordable price. "
OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
10/10 Excellent
"Great for family resort with variety of great food in the all inclusive package. Lots of activities to keep you busy throughout the day. Open up late bar compare to other resorts, lots of shows, games and things to do. The only thing that i did not like was the minimum of 6 people for the excursions, snorkeling and fishing (they canceled ours cause there was not enough ppl, apparently everyone was at the pool 360 bar drinking lol). Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back again. Thank you to all the bartenders they were great. Ooo and i forgot to mention the underwater restaurant Only Blue, staff was amazing, food was awesome and the atmosphere was at a top level. Thank you "
"I stayed in two rooms first quite cosy but very clean TV above bathroom foot is silly. 2nd room larger again very clean. Staff very friendly, airport pickup went smoothly. Breakfast adequate but would like yoghurt ( personal taste) room service good. "
"The resort was simply fabulous, and the staff really excelled themselves. We had a dedicated person to contact in case we needed anything.
We had a Water Villa, which was absolutely fantastic, large room, bath on the deck overlooking the ocean. The Water Villas have the added benefit of access to Riviera Restaurant which was much better than the main buffet restaurant.
There is plenty to do on Villa Nautica Paradise Island whether you’re in your 20s or getting on a bit!
What was so nice about the Island even at 100% occupancy is that it never feels busy.
