"The stay was horrible, and will not come back. Hotel reservation was rough, i had hard time confirming my stay, local transportation at the beginning. They can't arrange local transportation to carry luggage when we took seaplane. At our first dinner, we had to pay over $5000 dinner for 4, which was not explained prior to our arrival. Visiting entertainers and hotel management staffs seemed to stay at the same villa as other guests, and were using hotel facilities, which seemed very...

Dusit Thani Maldives - 50 percent off on Transfers for Stays of 5 Nights stay until 20 December 2026

10/10 Excellent
"Dusit Thani is absolutely a gem and amazing. This is my 2nd time here. First the butler and the staff are all very friendly. My original butler Naan even came by to say hi to us. Saleem our butler this time was helpful and easy to get ahold of. We had 24/7 Whatsapp access and he took care of everything for us including logistics for leaving, sea plane, dinner and activities. The house reef was spectacular. We stayed in a overwater villa again and it was well appointed, clean, modern. In pool breakfast and a trip via jet ski ride to the sand bar is a must. I highly recommend this resort"
