Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa - Deluxe All Inclusive

The hotel's service attitude towards Asians is not very good, but it is completely different for foreigners. About half of the employees are Mukou Mumen, which is definitely not comparable to traditional five-star hotels. It was clearly stated that there would be 30 minutes of free photography, but we spent a lot of time dressing up, and then only took 8 minutes of photography. The photographer had to ask us to confirm whether to purchase before deciding how much time to spend shooting for us. They treated us differently according to gender. We originally wanted to purchase the photos. But he had to ask us to choose how many photos to buy before taking photos for us, which was really bad. In the end, we decided not to buy any photos. Restaurant staff are often eager to take away your tableware. Even though it is an all-you-can-eat meal, half of each meal has been consumed. When you want to order the next dish, the staff comes to take away the tableware. Overall, there are too many ***** here and this hotel does not deserve such a high score.

We had a perfect vacation and memories here. The over water villa was great, outside area was beautiful and so many kinds of fish just in front there. The surprise for my birthday was so touching and lovely. The last meals at the Aisatique was perfect, the laksa and rendang was so delicious. I will miss it. We had the best staff Nicole who was really helpful, caring for us. We were so relaxing to enjoy the time, nothing to worry about. We are so glad to have her. Thanks for everything you guys did for us.
