Il resort è molto curato, semplice, tranquillo, estremamente pulito. La cucina è italiana è di buon livello, ma servita a buffet. Le beach villa nella posizione migliore sono quelle che vanno dalla 116 alla 128 perché esposte al tramonto e perché hanno il pezzo di spiaggia più ampio è più riparato dal vento senza essere afoso. Gli overwater sono parecchio esposti al vento, sopratutto quelli di numero pari, anche se questi ultimi vedono il tramonto mentre i dispari no. Il servizio di pulizia della Villa è estremamente efficiente: passano tante volte al giorno e sono discreti e invisibili. Non è presente animazione fastidiosa e c’è grande privacy nel resort. L’idrovolante costa 800$ e a noi, al ritorno, l’hanno negato sostituendolo con un aereo normale: questo ci ha deluso molto, avendo appunto pagato per un idrovolante. Le cene speciali tipo “cena sulla spiaggia” e simili costano sui 250$ e non so se valgono la pena (vini a parte). La cucina è ottima, forse esageratamente italiana (son presenti anche la Pizza, le arancine siciliane, pasta di ogni tipo, anche fresca), ma i vini dell’all inclusive sono veramente pessimi. I vini a parte sono ovviamente costosi perché importati. Nel resort c’è una sorta di ora legale spostata un’ora avanti rispetto a Male. L’arredamento delle ville è molto curato e anche il tipico bagno maldiviano è fatto molto bene. Lo staff è sempre a disposizione per qualsiasi richiesta e, in parte, parla italiano. Nel complesso siamo stati davvero bene.

Incredible location, settings, amenities and staff. Loved the charm of my beach villa, surrounded by lush landscaping and just steps from the water, and immensely enjoyed the luxury of the water villa. So glad I decided to upgrade. The sea life right under it was amazing! Baby blacktip sharks, rays, large crabs and so many fish were daily visitors, loved the ability to snorkel right off my steps. The snorkeling on the outer reef of the island was the best snorkeling in the world for me, and I’ve snorkeled Great Barrier Reef, all Hawaiian Islands and numerous Caribbean Islands... The water was very clear, and I’ve never seeing so much Sea life I’m one place... Loced the excursions as well, one of my highlights was snorkeling above 4 enormous mantas. Theiy were so graceful! The food at the resort was excellent, buffet style, and I was pleasantly surprised at a huge selection, specially at lunch and dinner. The island is small, you can walk around its perimeter in less than 10 minutes. I’m already missing my sunrise walks. Can’t wait to return!

Great but...

Great stay, room, food and staff. The only negative point would be the seaplane transfer. I had read a negative feedback from an other guest and decided to ignore it... should not have! 4 hours wait at Male airport to take the seaplane ( half a day missed!) and to go back very late time planned even if we alerted the front desk: response: "it is out of our hands" therefore we arrived only one hour before our flight took off without being checked in due to poor wifi reception on the island. Very stressful time!! For $380 it is not worth such an experience! The hotel should better chose their partners!

Atendimento

Tudo estava perfeito ate a data de ir embora, nosso voo partia 16:30 da ilha e permanecemos no local mesmo tendo feito checkout, por opção do próprio hotel, pois eles quem organizam o horário do retorno conforme o voo de saída de male. Nosso all incluse encerrava ao meio dia, então optamos por pagar uma taxa extra e almoçar, aí que começou o problema, os funcionários nos Olhavam desconfiados como se estivéssemos ali sem pagar e durante nosso almoço um dos garçons veio trazer a conta e nos pedir pra assinar, uma situação muito desconfortável, mesmo porque em qqr restaurante que se vá a conta sempre é paga no final e interromper o hóspede durante a refeição é desagradável. Falamos com gerente que tão pouco nos deu atenção, ficamos muito chateados com a situação e por isso não recomendo a hospedagem.

Hotel muito bom, internet é pessima.

O hotel é muito bom, fiquei em bagalô sobre a agua e recomendo. Alguns pontos importantes: 1. O All inclusive (comprado no hoteis.com) não contempla o frigobar do quarto (um chocolate custa 5 dólares). 2. No pacote all inclusive todas as refeições tem horários pré estabelecidos (café da manha, almoço e jantar) 3. O All inclusive (comprado no hoteis.com) não contempla petiscos no restaurante do hotel, somente bebidas. 4. A internet do hotel é muito ruim e só funciona em uma parte do restaurante. Caso queira internet do quarto o preço é 50 dolares para dois dispositivos. 5. O pacote All inclusive oferecido no site do hotel é infinitamente melhor que o disponibilizado no hoteis.com, vale muito a pena comprar por lá.

25th Wedding Anniversary.

We booked this holiday last minute for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and really did not know what to expect. Wow, it was just beautiful. Flying over in the Sea Plane looking at the Maldives from the air, then getting to our stunning island, Vakarufalhi. The Staff were very friendly and smiley and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, with a very varied selection of meat, fish, veg and fresh fruit. It seemed like there was very few people on the island as it was so quiet and peaceful, and only realised when going to the restaurant how people were there. We booked a romantic meal on the beach, the food and atmosphere were amazing. Our only critism would be that if you are arriving at the island at about 2ish, you are rushed to get food and after a long flight and not knowing what to expect, we just wanted to rest for a while, had we been told that it was a buffet on arrival, we could have got something and taken it to our room. When leaving the island in the afternoon, lunch is not included in the all inclusive, you have to pay for any food after 12. This is just a minor point, and did not affect our holiday in the slightest are are looking forward to booking Vaku for next year. It was just what we needed. The island has a wonderful reef, with excellent snorkelling and extra activities, paddle boarding, diving, sailing, canoeing and excursions.

Paraíso All Inclusive nas Maldivas

O serviço do resort nos impressionou, desde a chegada até o checkout. Fomos recebidos pelo nome ao desembarcar do Hidroavião, sem necessidade do check in comvencional, durante as refeições, atendimento no hotel, limpeza de quarto todos funcionários sempre solicitos e sorrindo. A vista do Water Villa é maravilhosa, todas as manhãs ao olhar pela janela pensa em que está no paraíso. Outro ponto muito positivo é o all inclusive, que sempre foi farto em todas as refeições e com as bebidas realmente a vontade (com exceção do serviço de quarto).
