Resorts in Shaviyani Atoll

"Great experience and staff, only downside was food was kind of mediocre; everything was bland"

"We already had extremely high expectations both of the Maldives and Faarafushi but OH MY GOODNESS did Faarafushi exceed those expectations! It is truly heaven on earth. The rooms are divine, the sea life is out of this world, the food is delectable, the cocktails and wine selection are to die for, the spa is bliss, but the staff is what makes this place even more special than you can imagine! Such kind and friendly people! Sundar and Ankur are both fantastic cocktail makers and kind and funny people. Sundar made us the most special cocktails and led a wonderful cocktail class and Ankur led a super interesting molecular mixology class, neither of which you should miss! Vishal gave “turn down service” a whole new meaning with his incredible decorations, and also treated us to birthday decorations for my husband’s birthday and honeymoon decorations. True works of art! We don’t know our masseurs name unfortunately but we had the best Balinese couples massage of our lives! Priyanka was our waitress a couple of nights and was just the sweetest and most attentive waitress one could imagine! We also loved Mohammed and Rohit who told us a lot about the Maldives and Rohit helped us plan our trip to Agra (where we were off to next). And finally our INCREDIBLE host Fayaz who was simply amazing! Organised everything to perfection, always checked in on us and made sure we were happy with everything and just made the whole experience perfection. Run don’t walk to this resort! It is HEAVEN!"

"Service, environment, quietness were perfect."

"Amazing. We were back for our 5 year wedding anniversary. They have numerous activities, from which we've enjoyed the most the soft sports ones. They have great parties, and the jungle one was our favorite, and their staff have great shows and the entertainment manager together with his wife are some real acrobats. The food variety is great and the desserts are a challenge to keep your weight in check. The staff from restaurant & bar are friendly and always ready to refill your drinks, you cannot drink as fast as they come for a refill. It was also nice to see the GM involved in some activities and taking time to meet his guests. As sad part, the transfer prices I would say. I don't know if the resort has any input regarding them, but the seaplane transfer for 2 person is as much as 3 full days on the island, which is painful. Also, sometimes you can feel like an outsider, because most of their tourists are speaking German, so the parties and during the day, some of the staff start talking in German and then switch to English when they see your confusion. "

"Island paradise, beautiful architecture and all around amazing experience"

"Hondafushi is an amazing island. Very quite and privet, not a lots of people. A lot of places around the island where is no people and it’s just you and the ocean. Be aware the transfer fee will go up after the booking from $120 to $420 for a person. Plus on the day of check out- they will change you extra after 12 pm for the room. For people who likes to be in quite vacation- it’s a great place to be. There only one restaurant - but for the reason the buffet is better than some other hotels. We order there special lobster $150 for 2 people they made special set up of tent next to the ocean definitely was amazing experience! Over all great island! A bit hotter than others Maldives island, but more privet and relaxing. Thank you ! "
