"Had a sunrise room, it was lovely though may put some people off who don't like insects in your bathroom as it is outside. Food was great, staff was lovely. House reef is really good, accessible from all sides. We saw reef sharks, eagle rays and devil rays on the house reef. Manta ray excursion is 30 min boat ride."
Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were utterly spoiled at Centara Ras Fushi. As this was our second visit, they made us feel extra special with lots of little touches. Rajan had made a lovely “Welcome back” display using foliage on our bed and always made sure we had exactly what we needed in our mini bar. The check-in process was made very smooth by Nadia and, after a long journey, they had organised for early access to our room.
Centara Ras Fushi was just as beautiful as we remembered and the snorkelling here is fantastic due to the house reef. The water is so warm and the visibility so good, it is like swimming in a bath!
The food was excellent in all the restaurants and Mama’s smile and signature dance was always a welcome sight. The fact that he is still doing this 11 years after we first met him says a lot about his engaging personality and enthusiasm for his craft.
Husnee and his team ensured that we had the most memorable of stays at Centara Ras Fushi. He was very engaging and took time to speak with us. You can clearly see his passion shine through and his dedication to Centara. He told us how they look after and invest in their staff which was so lovely to hear.
People often ask me why we loved Centara Ras Fushi so much the first time we came here and there are lots of things I could say; the accommodation, the food, the colour of the water, but the main ingredient is the people. Thank you so much."
"The hotel in general exceeded my expectations. As a road warrior I typically end up staying at Hampton inn type properties. Unima Grand is the Hampton inn of Male. Great familiar like environment to make you feel comfortable.
The staff connected via WhatsApp prior to arrival at to make the transfer from the airport to hotel seamless. Check in was smooth with formalities filled out while I waited at the airport.
Breakfast and the on site restaurant was exceptional! Lots of fresh local offerings at a very good price.
Only 2 areas for improvement. Wifi was limited to 1 device at a time. My door had some issue with the lock. Possibly a low battery. Again, nothing really to complain about."
"The staff is what makes this place outstanding. They are professional, unfailingly polite and helpful. You feel like an important, valued guest. Everyone greets you, hand over heart, day or night, whether you have interacted with them previously or not. They are appropriately engaging. Some have the most delightful sense of humor. If you have an issue with the staff, make no mistake, YATA. Couple this staff with the most gorgeous island I have ever seen, and you have a winning combination."
"We had such a lovely time.. this is our 6th time to Maldives and 2nd time to Bandos.. all I can say from start to finish it was perfect .
Guru really stood out .. he was so helpful and contentive.. such a gentleman.. he is an an amazing asset to your team ..
thank you guru for making our trip so special ..

OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
10/10 Excellent
"Un établissement extrêmement bien tenu, en tout point. On sent qu'à sa tête il y a une direction soucieuse du détail.
J'ai juste un mot : "Choisissez-le, réservez, et allez-y !"
La prestation restauration est de qualité. Pour mon goût personnel de professionnel du secteur, il manque un peu de viandes grillées ! Mais c'est un détail.
Vous serez comblés par les desserts qui sont dans les standards français sans aucun problème.
(Un avis d'un professionnel reconnu de l'hôtellerie restauration).
P.S. : il faut ajuster la fréquence et le sens des Shuttle "water room". Un service à améliorer."
"The hotel was exceptional. The airport is the next island so plane noise was constant, but didn’t really bother us.
The beach water is clear but not swimming depth
Perfect for kayak because water is so calm. "
