Best Vabbinfaru Hotels

"It’s been 11 days since I came back to write a review. You can only upload 20 pictures, much more than that. There are also many small animals, such as lizards that appear everywhere🦎, manta rays that can be seen on the beach every morning, small crabs🦀️, many hermit crabs... We go snorkeling at Dhawa Ihuru opposite every day, and there are many boats to and from the two islands every day . Most of the staff at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru are very enthusiastic. Special mention should be made of Jien, the young lady at the front desk, who gave us meticulous care and attention~~ She is a Malaysian who can not only speak Chinese but also write Chinese, so awesome 👍; Khaleel who cleans the house every day is very serious and responsible; the three employees of our fishing trip, Captain Samsaad, Rauf and Faiz crew, helped us bait and teach us how to fish. In the end, we caught 10 fish, and we became The lunch the next day was delicious😋; One day when I was eating in a restaurant, I dropped the 50$ I put in my pocket, and Husham found it. Thank you very much🙏; Rajesh, who has been doing buffet barbecue, is very enthusiastic and has attentive service; needed What I particularly want to point out is that when I asked to extend my stay, Riyaz, who is responsible for the management of the two houses, helped to monitor whether there were vacancies. In the end, we were able to continue living in the original house without moving, and they gave us a very reasonable price. Thank you very much. 🙏; Also, one day the father of the child discovered that his brother Nazim was making a bird with coconut leaves (not sure if it was a coconut leaf, a long green leaf), so the father followed suit, and later 🈶️ a younger brother Shafdhaan took over to teach. Later, the father of the child learned to make different birds, and he also carried it forward and learned to make grasshoppers🦗, 🦐, 🦀️ by following the videos on the Internet, but in the end he learned the unique medicine ball here from the two brothers... It’s really good. ;The last thing I want to mention is that they built a traditional house of the former Malay locals on the beach for a few days. Alee and another employee (sorry did not remember the name) also gave us a detailed explanation... This is our This is the fourth time that Madai has been carried out. The scenery is still so beautiful and the corals are growing better. Our whole family really likes Madai and I believe we will go there again in the future. 😊"

"The rooms are average, the food and beverages are not rich but the products are excellent. The snorkeling environment is very good, you can see sharks and turtles. The service is pretty good, the room and yard are cleaned very well. The island is very small and only takes 10 minutes to walk around. You can participate in the hotel's snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin watching at reasonable prices. There is a gym but no swimming pool."

"If you're seeking late-night parties and DJs, this might not be the resort for you. Now, let's dive into the details. The resort is conveniently located just a 20-25 minute speedboat ride from Male airport. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the island is small enough to walk around in 15-20 minutes. We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool and half-board. The pool was shaded by palm trees during the hottest parts of the day, and the beach was simply perfect. The online photos might appear a bit dated, but the reality is much better. Our dedicated butler, Reema, was incredibly kind and attentive, making our babymoon special with hot baths, flower arrangements, and private celebrations. She took excellent care of us throughout our stay. The resort features three restaurants and a charming bar. The food at Lime, the main restaurant, was exceptional—everything we tried was delicious. Although the breakfast buffet wasn't extensive, it was complemented by an à la carte menu that offered a variety of tasty options. Lala made our dinners extra special with his food recommendations and attentiveness to our preferences. Overall, our entire trip was a success, and the Baros team truly made it memorable. Things to know: - Transfers are chargeable by the hotel. Ensure you inform them of your arrival flight 2 days in advance and get confirmation on your transfer. - The hotel is very relaxed and private, making it ideal for newlyweds, honeymooners, and families with older children. - The resort offers daily activities, including excursions, snorkeling trips, cruises, yoga, and more. Some activities are chargeable, while others are free, and all necessary gear is available at the Marine Center at no cost. We would visit again."

"The service and the beach club is exceptional. I really enjoy my stay at the resort. All inclusive package is really good and worth it. The drinks at Breeze is yummy and their attendees are very friendly and helpful. Our reef villa has beautiful reef below us and snorkelling is really fun to do. The SPA is also very good. I really like this resort and will be back in the future. Special shout out to Suchan in the Breeze that always offer us the most delicious drinks in the beach club."

"Amazing stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives. Brand new island resort, only recently opened a few months ago. The smiling, helpful team at Centara make you able to leave all worries behind and fully enjoy a carefree holiday in paradise. It is the team that makes hotel/resort stay great, and you can feel the positive energy of all the staff encountered. Most notably Emmi and Nicha from the Front Office when above and beyond to make our stay extra special. The whimsical design, inspired by the sea and marine life gives the resort a very happy, relaxed vibe. Designed as a haven for families to enjoy the Maldives, it's also great for couples to get away from the world. Fantastic choice for wonderful holiday, such a happy Maldives holiday experiance, with touches of the Thai hospitality that Centara is famous for."

"It takes 20 minutes by speedboat from Male. The island is clean and there are no bugs. The ratio of Westerners to Asians is about half and half, there are many elderly couples, and it is very quiet. Everyone greets each other when they pass by, which was nice. There are delicious curries, pastas, and meats that suit Japanese tastes. If you snorkel from the villa, it is so deep that you can't even touch the water, and the waves are so strong that you get seasick. There are hardly any fish, so I think the pool is more relaxing. It was a bit disappointing that you can see other islands and buildings from the island. It can't be helped since it's close to Male. But I think this price is reasonable for an all-inclusive resort in the Maldives. The cleaning staff was also very kind and unobtrusive, coming twice a day to clean up the place. The host contacted us on our last day even though it was a day off, and was very responsible and kind, so we had a comfortable stay."

"Had an AMAZING trip with my partner. Everything was 👌, from the moment we landed in Malé til we left. All transferes worked really smoothly. It was a great holiday. Food: Really good Diving/Snorkeling: Amazing Resort: Beautiful Staff: Amazing"

"Stayed two nights (approximately 2.3w RMB) and concluded that it is a low cost hotel. A. The island is not big. There are two restaurants, one Japanese and one chowder. The ingredients are fresh and expensive (based on the per capita consumption of domestic restaurants, the unit is changed from RMB to US dollars, which is the price of his home), but the taste is really average and the whole is salty. There are not many varieties of dishes. B. Transportation on the island: The airport can be reached by speedboat in 35 minutes, roundtrip USD 357 / person, reaching the price of other long distance hotels by water. Annoyingly, when the first day arrived, the hotel actually said that our ticket was shared and we had to wait for the 4 passengers who accompanied us (their flight is expected to arrive in 1.5 hours). After serious negotiations over the phone, he finally arranged to go directly to the island. If you are not fluent in English, you can only be dumb. C. The snorkeling environment is average, especially in the snorkelling area. Many corals are bleached. The snorkeling area is also very small. Even if it enters the live coral area, there are not too many species of fish. It can be regarded as Samsung (Sand House) or Four Star (Water House) snorkeling. Been to the best snorkeling in Ihulu Island. D. For hotels without a reception desk, everything is handled by the butler. The steward is Chinese who speaks Chinese and the service is not one-on-one. Another Chinese couple was also hosted by the housekeeper. The service attitude is very good, although some things will be forgotten, it is probably too busy, there is no big problem in this regard. I still prefer the way to find the front desk. E. The room is really nice, the area is large enough, and the pool bathtub is available. But this is probably the only strong point of this hotel. F. The quality of all service staff is very good. Polite and professional. Summary: Suitable for those who care about the room type, have no high requirements for snorkeling, are relatively wealthy and do not care about the cost-effective tourists. The hotel itself is not bad, the price is too high. . . For tourists who have been to the Maldives many times, this one is really not worth it. I really have more money and burned my head. This is a big insight after my trip."

"The resort and amenities are excellent but a few things were terribly wrong. Being located in the middle of the ocean and constantly exposed to the prevailing weather, one would have thought that the building standards would be up to scratch but sadly they are not. During strong wind and rain, our room flooded. Water entered under doors, around windows and through the ceiling . The curtains, coach and floating flooring were drenched. This is not a new problem as the floating floor boards were deteriorated and loose from this happening regularly.We were moved to another room but still had to endure problems with continuous internet and power outages, fridge and lighting issues. For a reasonably new resort it is a thumbs down for the reasons noted. No offers from management for our great inconvenience and wet belongings!"
