Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives

8/10 Good
"We had 5 wonderful and memorable days in the resort. The reason for not giving a 5 stars are the following: * Cocktails could be better. It would be great a fancy and stylish cocktail bar with top-notch bartenders * Speciality restaurants could be better. I compare the food served with budget cruises, like Carnival and MSC * Entertainment is close non-existent. It would be great to have DJs around the Waves swimming pool. At night, there is lack of nice vibe. Everything looks boring and old-fashioned"
