🌴 Review: Dreamland Maldives (Stayed July 7–11, 2025) 🌴 Just returned from an amazing 4-night stay at Dreamland Maldives, and overall we were really impressed — especially if you love marine life and peaceful surroundings. 🐠 Snorkeling & Excursions – Absolutely worth it! The house reef around the island is full of life. We saw nurse sharks, sea cucumbers, and even sea turtles while snorkeling close to shore. Our favorite excursions were: • A trip to Hanifaru Bay to watch the majestic manta rays. • A nurse shark tour around the Dreamland reef — exciting and well organized. 🍴 Food – Delicious and better than expected We chose the Full Board package (3 meals per day), and the buffet meals were consistently good. Each day offered a variety of beef, pork, chicken, and fish dishes, along with rotating international options. We were pleasantly surprised to find Thai dishes occasionally included — such as Tom Yum Chicken Soup and Thai Fish Cakes (Tod Mun Pla) — both authentic and flavorful. 💧 Note – Full Board doesn’t include water Still water is not included in Full Board. • A 1.5L bottle costs around $3.50 USD, which adds up over several days. • If you prefer not to worry about extra drink charges, we recommend going for the All-Inclusive package instead. 🌧️ Weather Tip – Be cautious in July On our departure day, a storm delayed our seaplane, and we missed our international flight. If traveling in July (monsoon season), plan extra buffer time or stay a night near the airport before your outbound flight. Dreamland offers a relaxing and nature-filled getaway with great snorkeling and tasty food. We’ll gladly return — but next time, with All-Inclusive and flexible travel plans during the rainy season!

We stayed at Dreamland Maldives for 14 days in July 2025 and chose it specifically for peace, natural beauty, and to celebrate our wedding. While the setting is stunning, several aspects — especially the wedding planning and customer service — left us extremely disappointed. The Good: • The reef outside our water villa was incredible for snorkeling. It felt like swimming in a giant aquarium. We saw all kinds of fish, even baby sharks. • The villa itself was spacious and private, though in need of maintenance (paintwork, exterior). • We loved the peaceful, adults-oriented vibe — no loud music, no kids clubs — just the sound of waves and chill-out music/a singer and some 80s music all to our taste. • Buffet meals had good variety, and the island is casual, so no dress codes or shoes needed. • All of the staff (with the exception of management/reception) were hardworking and friendly despite being clearly overstretched. The Not-So-Good: • Sun loungers for water villa guests were scarce — around 12 loungers for 30+ villas. Most are claimed early with towels, leaving many guests without a proper spot to relax. • Excursions are expensive and often cancelled last-minute. The boutique shop is overpriced ($100 for a lilo!) and even a short boat trip to a nearby island cost $40 (not worth the money unless you just want to get off the island)! • We had to visit the medical clinic, which provided great care — one of the few highlights. The Wedding – A Major Letdown: Our wedding experience was poorly handled. There was no wedding coordinator, no spa treatment arranged (as promised), and key details were missed. The ceremony itself was special although they used a generic script mentioning children — laughable, considering we’re nearly 60. During the romantic dinner, we had to use phone lights to see our food due to only 2 candles being blown out by the wind. Why they don’t use some battery operated lights is bizarre! Most upsetting was the missing wedding cake. We were told our cake was being sent to us but later found out it was given away to staff. We said to give some to staff but all of it – really!!! Management offered a different cake — not a proper replacement. The whole situation was handled with zero empathy and left us angry and heartbroken. Reception & Management – Disappointing: From the start, reception was disorganized and unhelpful. The final issue was a forged signature — we were told we owed $100 for a transfer we’d already paid for. Management presented a fake signature from my husband. Our travel agent confirmed we owed nothing, but management refused to acknowledge their mistake properly. We received a bottle of wine and a "Happy Holiday" message in our room we can only assume as a possible apology as we received no verbal apology — a gesture that felt empty given the stress and disappointment we experienced. Final Verdict: If your stay goes smoothly, you may enjoy the island’s tranquility and beautiful snorkeling. But if anythin

Just arrived back in the UK and already looking at returning. Absolutely fabulous island kept immaculate by the grounds staff who do a great job. Stayed in a beach bungalow (149) and what a location as many of the other bungalows are. The staff are very polite and attentive and nothing seems too much trouble for them. The room was kept immaculate over the 2 weeks by our room attendant who worked tirelessly moving from one lodge to another making your holiday perfect. Endless amount of food on offer at meal times with a good selection of salads, mains and desserts and fruit. The snorkelling is out of this world with so many different types of fish of all sizes, had endless turtle encounters just outside our bungalow in the lagoon and was lucky enough to have an encounter with a Giant Moray Eel , Snowflake Moray Eel and Camouflage Grouper together with the islands Nurse Sharks which were most impressive. There is a small shop selling bits but do expect to pay inflated prices i.e.. paid 38 dollars for a factor 50 sun lotion and some ear plugs for 22 dollars (required for an ear infection). There are some relatively reasonable souvenirs here and you can get postcards and stamps and post in reception. We had a television in our room but did not put it on once over the two weeks. We were offered an upgrade on arrival to a water bungalow but really wanted a beach bungalow so stuck with that and did not regret it once. Be prepared to get a few mosquito bites but the overall holiday satisfaction you will get here makes it worthwhile. We sprayed our room regularly and took extra precautions with bands , plug ins etc but still managed a few bites. Have brought back some wonderful memories and if you are thinking of going don't read too many reviews just go , you will not be disappointed. If you want lots of nightlife and shops to spend your money this is perhaps not for you but if you want a relaxing break this is just the tonic. Thank You to all the Staff at Dreamland you all do a great job .
