Positive: We chose this hotel due to there being two islands to explore and because it had more dining options, shops and places to go. The food was great. The staff were so friendly and so helpful. We loved cycling around the islands. The spa was incredible and best massage ive ever had! Everything felt like great value for your money. Everywhere was so clean and tidy. We had a picnic lunch on beach which was so much fun.

Negative: The main downside is having to transfer from Male for another 1 hour flight and having to wait for delays and baggage to get to the hotel. But once you leave the second airport getting to the hotel was very quick and easy. The bug spraying of the island was not nice to cycle through.

Summary: Highly recommend this Maldives hotel - you wont regret booking it, we want to go back already!

Positive: This island is one of the most beautiful places we've even been to. The marine life outside the villas is just stunning - make sure to explore the reef further on! Sharks, turtles and ray sightings were a daily occurence. We also got to see the dolphins up close several times which was such a treat! The staff was incredibly nice and attentive and the food was amazing everywhere we went. We loved the french Falhumaa restaurant the best. We went in July and were fortunate to only have one rainy day during our week-long stay. During the off-season, we felt like we had the resort to ourselves and would absolutely go again. Can't recommend enough!

Summary: Our very own paradise!

Positive: We stayed at the Residence Maldives for 6 nights for a long delayed honeymoon mid-April. We booked on Booking.com, and reserved an over-the water pool villa. My review sums up in one word - excellent. Truly 5 star resort. Amazing service from everyone in the resort, from the moment we were met at the Male Airport (we had to do nothing, we were met by their representative and everything was taken care of and seamless with the internal flight and boat) to the moment we left. Everyone always has a smile on, is super quick to meet your request and the staff are genuinely nice people. The bar staff, the cleaning staff, the reception staff, the restaurants staff...amazing. The room was nice and clean. Amazing views of the bay, the sunset and the sea. No complaints at all and truly 5 star facilities here. Word of advice, however - there are two resorts in fact, and we booked Falhuma (we didn't know, so it's probably on us). The Dihurah is larger and newer. Getting between the two is easy though on the bicycles provided (or the golf carts you can ask for a ride in if you're so inclined). We asked for a room change as I wanted to be able to get into the sea from our villa and the reception supervisor Shawin was super helpful and accommodating. The resort manager as well, Mr. Visham, came to check in on us. Truly excellent service as they didn't need to accommodate. I'll end with the food and drink. All inclusive package is amazing. The choice of drinks at the bars and restaurants was more than adequate (for example, 4-5 gins to choose from, including Bombay and tanqueray, Glenfiddich 12 and more premium alcohol, plenty of cocktail choices, 4+ red wine choices, etc). I don't understand the reviews that said the choice is limited. It is not, so book with confidence if that is a concern. The only downside is the room minibar only has beer, for anything else you need to go to the nearest bar that's always a few minutes away. No issues.

Positive: Lovely spacious, comfortable rooms. We loved our pool and sea access from the water villa. Food and atmosphere on the island is very different at each of the restaurants. I recommend trying each one at the start if your holiday to find your preference.

Negative: Personal choice, but we found the resort, which is spread over two islands too big and certain facilities such as the scuba diving centre were only on one of the islands.so we couldn't avoid travelling between both of the islands. Buggy transport isn't guaranteed and sometimes you can be waiting a long time so you are better using the pushbikes provided wherever possible.

Summary: Large Maldivian resort
