Hotele z: Gym w Kaafu Atoll, Maldives

We stayed in an overwater villa. The hotel's strong points are its proximity to Malé Airport, just a 15-minute speedboat ride away, and the fact that it's actually three small islands or hotels connected together. This means a wider selection of restaurants, pools, and beaches. The overwater villas offer good value for money, and the sand on the beach is fine with plenty of fish, though they aren't the most colorful. Overall, the service is pretty good too. The only minor flaw is that the hotel can sometimes be a bit slow with room cleaning and facility maintenance. For instance, some housekeepers didn't make the bed, and others forgot to replenish drinking water. Our balcony umbrella was broken by the wind and it took two days of requests to get it replaced. However, you can contact the Trip.com concierge if you have issues; the service from the domestic platform is indeed more efficient. Several problems were resolved thanks to Trip.com's follow-up. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's great value for money!

After 2 days of staying in the water villa, we moved to the beach villa for another 2 days. The beach villa is even larger. We have our own swimming pool, big bathroom with a tub, plus an open air shower. Everything in this villa is very enjoyable. The milky white sands beach is just a few steps away, where we can enjoy swimming and snorkeling, or relaxed on the beach chairs, swing, and hammock. Abaan continued to take good care of us, making our stay here smooth and enjoyable. Worth of a special mentioning, the restaurant hostess, Mannu, always gave us a beautiful warm smile, and Sanampreet provided us with the most wonderful service, those made every of our meals here even more tasty. Our room attendant, Al-Amin is really nice and attentive, making our stay here super pleasant. Hope to see all of you again soon. We would recommend the Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort to all of our friends. The accommodation costs here are reasonable, and everything,  the beaches, facilities, pools, bar, activities, entertainments, and the buffet, is excellent👍👍. The most important that it is easy to see many different kinds of fishes here. The wonderful people, the milky white sands, and the unique Maldives Blue water will drive us to come back again soon.

Location: Just a 7-minute speedboat ride from Malé Airport, this resort is perfect for families with young children or seniors visiting an island for the first time, eliminating any worries about seasickness or airsickness. Facilities and Service: As a new hotel opening at the end of 2025, the facilities and service are top-notch. They won't treat you differently for only staying two nights or having limited English. The staff is super enthusiastic and will proactively use translation software to communicate. There are also Chinese-speaking staff on the island, so there's absolutely no need to worry if your English isn't perfect. Dining: We opted for the all-inclusive package, and the food at all the restaurants was absolutely fine. The mini-bar was replenished promptly, and the room could be cleaned multiple times a day, with mini-bar items restocked each time. Additional Services: They offer complimentary rentals of snorkeling masks, fins, paddleboards, and kayaks. There are also clubs for children and teenagers, making it completely worry-free for those traveling with kids. They even provide a free photo service, allowing you to choose one photo to print and take home. Snorkeling: The snorkeling is perfectly adequate for beginners. Summary: This was my first overseas trip with my two children, aged 10 and 12, and their first island experience, and it was absolutely wonderful throughout. It's very friendly for families with older children, and I highly recommend Dusit D2 to any families in a similar situation.

As a resort offering great value for money, we were all very satisfied. At the airport, look for your contact person at counters A17-18 to arrange your speedboat transfer. Firstly, this island is connected to the Hard Rock Hotel and Marina Hotel, which means you get to experience three islands in one. You can move freely between them, and there are 11 restaurants in total. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe chain restaurant one evening, and dinner for four cost us $200. We stayed for 3 nights, rotating between a Sky Room, an Overwater Villa, and a Beach Villa, one night each. The difference between the Sky Room and the Beach Villa is that the Sky Room is on the second floor with better views, while the Beach Villa is on the ground floor with direct access to the beach from the balcony. Each has its pros and cons. The Overwater Villas have room numbers starting with 1, and you can directly access the sea for snorkeling. The hotel has an app called 'SAii'. You can use it by scanning the QR code on your room TV upon check-in. It's available in Chinese. You can use it to request transfer buggies and sign up for many free activities. I initially thought we'd just relax for three days, but it turned into a bit of an 'intensive' trip with so much to do! Diamond members have a happy hour from 5-6 PM, offering three types of snacks/canapés and unlimited complimentary drinks and alcoholic beverages. We ate instant noodles on the first and third nights, and at Hard Rock on the second night. With happy hour snacks and drinks, plus breakfast, we had plenty to eat. The hotel breakfast was quite good, though it was always a bit windy due to the sea breeze. The speedboat transfer to and from the island takes 15 minutes, but it's very hot and stuffy inside. Our group of four tipped the butler $20 in total. For the overwater villa, they allowed us to check in at 11 AM, and we moved to a different room at 2 PM the next day. We tipped $2 each time for luggage transfers. As we moved rooms daily, we didn't tip for daily housekeeping. The hotel offers complimentary rental of snorkels, masks, and fins. We even saw a sea turtle up close during one of the free activities. Diamond members can also rent paddle boats and yellow kayaks for free for one hour daily. Bicycle rental on the island costs $10 for 24 hours. In the evenings, you can find many small crabs 🦀 and hermit crabs 🐚 on the beach. Recommendations: Bring instant noodles and snacks to the island, and a swimming float from home if you want to just relax in the water. The island accepts USD, or you can use Alipay/WeChat Pay.

Close to the pier, the rooms are clean and spacious, and there's a pool with a beautiful high-angle view of the ocean. The fly problem in the restaurant, mentioned in previous reviews, has significantly improved; I noticed the hotel placed fly traps. However, the Wi-Fi in the room still occasionally disconnects, and I hope this can also be improved.

Our vacation at Grand Park has come to an end, and I'd love to share my thoughts 🌴. First off, this was our first time in the Maldives, and we were absolutely thrilled. We stayed in two types of villas: lagoon and ocean water. They are completely identical and face each other. The lagoon villa has a huge advantage: it's practically wind-free. All the ocean breeze is absorbed by the ocean villas. The lagoon side offers sunset views, while the ocean villa offers sunrise views. The ocean villas definitely have a better view; from the lagoon, you can see several islands, including the neighboring Hilton. The rooms are very clean and were serviced twice a day. Linens were changed upon request, towels were fresh, and all necessities were provided: slippers, a beach bag, and umbrellas. Upon arrival, we immediately picked up masks, snorkels, and fins for the entire duration of our stay (these are complimentary). By the way, the watersports equipment rental manager speaks Russian and was very helpful and friendly. We brought water shoes with us but never used them. We always snorkeled with fins, and when we just swam from the villa, we couldn't even reach the bottom. They might be useful if you enjoy beach holidays and swimming from the shore, as the ocean entry there is indeed full of corals and shells, but we're just not fans of sand and didn't even go there. The reef is excellent; not quite the Philippines, of course, but there was still plenty to see. On the very first day, we spotted an eagle ray swimming right next to us – this was on the reef near the watersports rental, which I highly recommend for snorkeling as it's far less crowded than the reef near the villas. We wanted to go on an excursion to see nurse sharks, but a 'white flag' (meaning strong winds) was declared for all the days of our stay, so all excursions and even jet skis were canceled. We were very happy with the food. Breakfasts were quite varied, only lacking in meat (cold cuts or sausages; only pork options were available). We mostly had lunch in our villa, and it was delivered quickly. Dinner was also diverse; you definitely won't go hungry. All the staff were incredibly friendly, very open and responsive. Everyone smiled and greeted us, and the main phrase of our trip to the Maldives was “enjoy,” which we heard constantly 🥰 and we certainly did! The only excursion we managed to do was swimming on the floating platform, which we highly recommend. We took the package for $129, which included 4 cocktails + 3 snacks. We expected something like canapés, but they brought out full-sized dishes! It even ended up being cheaper than our usual dinner 😂. We ate our fill and enjoyed a beautiful sunset, and the photos there are amazing! You can stay there as long as you like, there’s no time limit. We recommend going at sunset around 4:30 PM or even 5:00 PM when the sun has already set to avoid the heat. The hotel is stunning, with very well-maintained grounds. The beach was constantly being cleaned, things were being trimmed, transported, and repaired – they were busy working all day long! There are many lizards on the property, and the Maldivian heron was also frequently seen)) The vacation was 10/10, the hotel was 10/10 – simply a perfect paradise! 🩵🌴 We left feeling incredibly grateful ✨

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon is an excellent resort with a beautiful island setting and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff are exceptionally friendly, professional, and always helpful, which really makes the stay memorable and comfortable from start to finish. That said, there are a few areas that could be improved. The entertainment offerings are quite limited and would benefit from enhancement. The kids’ playground should be upgraded as soon as possible, with more engaging and modern facilities. In addition, more activities for adults—especially in the evenings—would greatly enhance the overall guest experience. For water activities, it would be great to see more attractive and value-for-money packages offered, as this would encourage guests to participate more and enjoy the marine experiences the Maldives is famous for. Overall, it is a wonderful resort with outstanding service, and with improvements in entertainment, kids’ facilities, adult activities, and water sports packages, it could easily be one of the best family-friendly resorts in the Maldives.

Seaview is a must if you will be choosing any of the Kaani hotels' room. Seaview rooms are often in demand and on high prices but lucky enough to be able to book 2 days during peak season, same day. Staff and excursion teams are very helpful, theybreally do their best to take care of you. Team Octopus(excursion team) really takes care of you and get you nice pictures and videos of the excursion. 1 day tour is a must to get in Maafushi Island. Bfast is decent but dont eat too much if you will be doing the sharkbay tour as you will be proned to seasick. 5 days travel to Maldives as a whole is a enough.

This was my fourth trip to the Maldives but first in many years. In the past I always stayed at an island that required an airline transfer + flight which took another half-day or more. This time I chose Baros based off reviews, being part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and location. The location could not have been better. After landing in Male it took about 5 minutes to deplane + another 5 to go through immigration and customs. Moments later I was met by the hotel staff and placed on a speedboat. 30 minutes later was I was in paradise and headed to my villa. The entire staff was exceptional and Sita took care of EVERYTHING. The villa was beautiful, the beaches pristine, the meals delicious, the service top-notch, and the dolphin cruise was extraordinary. I cannot wait to return!

It was a very last minute decision to travel to Maldives. 10 hours before I book then flew over already. This resort is a resort that I see cheapest that includes food and drinks but take note water sport and diving and certain food is not included. Service is great, staff is very warm. Food is ok but not the greatest. One important thing for Maldives is many resort when transfer from airport to the resort needs to add on charge but for this resort is inclusive. If you are kinda on a budget trip to Maldives this resort can be the consideration. Aside from these resort establish since 2022 condition still ok compared to same level of resort.
