Maavarulu Vacations from $2,286

As a family of four (2adults and 2 teenagers) from the UK, we had 2 water bungalows for 10 nights this August. The good points: The staff at this hotel made our stay unforgettable as they are so kind and genuine: Desi, Yumi, Cindy, Mechelle, Musab, Adam, Dhanushka, Fernando and Noor. Apologies to those who we did not remember. The food was varied and tasty, even satisfying two fussy teen palates. The speciality restaurants were a lovely touch; we visited the Japanese twice as it was our favourite. Our water bungalow was lovely and clean and spacious. We all slept well as the beds were very comfortable, the shower was perfect and the mini bar was stocked when we requested. The dive shop were wonderful with our daughter where she gained her PADI certificate. They looked after her and made sure her journey was documented by photographs as requested. Something she will never forget! The not so good: The water bungalows were lovely, however I had requested one room with twin beds for my teen boy and girl. They were given a king by accident and so my son had to sleep on the couch the first night and a roll out for the second night before they could relocate to a different room with twin beds. They were placed near the reception jetty where the current was so strong the entire time they were too scared to swim from the jetty. The atoll side was not our cup of tea -> the

Heaven on earth
