10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)
Absolutely fantastic stay- we were met at Male airport and looked after to our flight to Ifuru Island which is outstanding. All the staff looked after us with extreme courtesy and were extremely welcoming. Everywhere was very clean and cared for and the food very variable and to a high standard. Snorkelling was amazing we saw fish/stingrays/reef sharks/turtles/ resident heron. On our return we were met again at Male airport and looked after and helped to check in for our flight home. Cannot recommend this Island strongly enough ! ALL the staff were very dedicated and very hard working and so sorry can’t remember everyone’s names but very much felt a warm/friendly/family atmosphere. Shout out to: Monika, Tharaka, Sara, Diva, Donni, manager of waterfront(sorry don’t know name), Shiyaau, Basse, Pradeeb, Shiva, Raazan, Juli, Ahmed, Fraish (sorry if spelt wrong - captain of Komomo) thank you to everyone for a very special holiday

Our stay on this amazing island was truly unforgettable. The property was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable throughout our stay. The chef there even made and brought to us food that was only available in different restaurants at that time. Their kindness, attention to detail, and exceptional service made the experience even more special. The beach was breathtaking, and the communication with the resort was outstanding from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect island getaway.
