- "The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The resort and beaches were very clean. The food was exceptional at most restaurants. There were plenty of excursions for us to do. The spa/couples massage was absolutely amazing and in a very relaxing environment. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The complementary bath and in-room breakfast was marvelous." - "This island is one of the most beautiful places we've even been to. The marine life outside the villas is just stunning - make sure to explore the reef further on! Sharks, turtles and ray sightings were a daily occurence. We also got to see the dolphins up close several times which was such a treat! The staff was incredibly nice and attentive and the food was amazing everywhere we went. We loved the french Falhumaa restaurant the best. We went in July and were fortunate to only have one rainy day during our week-long stay. During the off-season, we felt like we had the resort to ourselves and would absolutely go again. Can't recommend enough!"

- "Lovely spacious, comfortable rooms. We loved our pool and sea access from the water villa. Food and atmosphere on the island is very different at each of the restaurants. I recommend trying each one at the start if your holiday to find your preference." - "We stayed at the Residence Maldives for 6 nights for a long delayed honeymoon mid-April. We booked on Booking.com, and reserved an over-the water pool villa. My review sums up in one word - excellent. Truly 5 star resort. Amazing service from everyone in the resort, from the moment we were met at the Male Airport (we had to do nothing, we were met by their representative and everything was taken care of and seamless with the internal flight and boat) to the moment we left. Everyone always has a smile on, is super quick to meet your request and the staff are genuinely nice people. The bar staff, the cleaning staff, the reception staff, the restaurants staff...amazing. The room was nice and clean. Amazing views of the bay, the sunset and the sea. No complaints at all and truly 5 star facilities here. Word of advice, however - there are two resorts in fact, and we booked Falhuma (we didn't know, so it's probably on us). The Dihurah is larger and newer. Getting between the two is easy though on the bicycles provided (or the golf carts you can ask for a ride in if you're so inclined). We asked for a room change as I wanted to be able to get into the sea from our villa and the reception supervisor Shawin was super helpful and accommodating. The resort manager as well, Mr. Visham, came to check in on us. Truly excellent service as they didn't need to accommodate. I'll end with the food and drink. All inclusive package is amazing. The choice of drinks at the bars and restaurants was more than adequate (for example, 4-5 gins to choose from, including Bombay and tanqueray, Glenfiddich 12 and more premium alcohol, plenty of cocktail choices, 4+ red wine choices, etc). I don't understand the reviews that said the choice is limited. It is not, so book with confidence if that is a concern. The only downside is the room minibar only has beer, for anything else you need to go to the nearest bar that's always a few minutes away. No issues."
