Like another reviewer, I wasn’t 100% sold at first, but Filitheyo definitely, quickly grows on you - like the density of its tropical vegetation. +ve’s: - Beautiful house-reef : lovely to see corals thriving and re-generating. You can snorkel amidst huge shoals of colourful fish that make you feel at one with the marine world; In addition, we saw closely, the resident sharks, turtles, eagle rays, moray eels, a rather serious looking barracuda and even an octopus on our last snorkel of the holiday. - accommodation: semi detached superior villa with outdoor bathroom ( shower and watch the fruit bats) and sheltered verandah was perfect. Right on beach front with views of ocean between the palms, plenty of sun lounging space and easy access for swimming and snorkelling. - no entertainment - perfect for tranquility. TV in room - didn’t even pick up the remote - why would you in the Maldives? WiFi - why bother? Had a much needed tech break then bought 12 hours worth for under £20 on last day for the IMUGA immigration stuff and flight check in. They charge for WiFi otherwise everyone would be on it slowing the system to zilch and no one would be enjoying what they went to the Maldives for - peace and paradise. - the people : all staff go the extra mile. Lovely to see relaxed staff having a laugh with both management and guests. Felt like there was real staff teamwork. Waiting & bar, staff frequently liked to joke and have fun, which was refreshing and de - stressing, as laughter does. Reception, shop and spa staff were efficient and approachable, Boat crews helpful, kind and fun. The local people on the inhabited island were welcoming. The guests were mixed nationality ( appeared mainly German but many other nationalities beyond Europe). Lots of opportunities to meet new friends . Wide range of ages of visitor, solo travellers, couples and families. - other inhabitants: friendly, polite cats. We encouraged feline visitors to our verandah but they will keep away if you prefer. We weren’t aware of any cats on the beach or in the dining room. A wee mouse at the main bar - that would scurry about of an evening, searching for pop corn - very cute. The usual lizards, fruit bats, crabs etc. There was a hatch of large flying ants one evening that filled our bathroom after a storm - arrgh! They left as quick as they arrived and we asked reception to do a room check and ‘clean up’ when we went for dinner, just in case, phew! Mosquitos - I am always mosquito fodder and there were plenty on Filitheyo, despite the evening spraying, However, thanks to ‘jungle formula’ used morning, noon and night and a plug in mosquito tablet, my first holiday with NO bites :) ( my husband got loads but he didn’t use the spray ) - Food: we were all inclusive but I would have been equally happy full or half board. Loads of choice and variety - you can stick to what you know or be more adventurous ( which I prefer). I don’t normally bother with desserts but they were delicious,
