It was my first time to visit Lux Maldives. Although it was an all-inclusive package, I was asked to pay an extra 500+ USD for lunch without any notice from the hotel or the housekeeper. The seaplane time we were notified before going to the island was 15:30, but when we arrived at the Lux seaplane lounge, we were notified that we could only fly at 17:00. After arriving on the island, the butler told us that the first two days were all-inclusive. We could enjoy any restaurant except Italian and Japanese restaurants for free, including bars and cafes, etc. Since we arrived on the island at more than 6 o'clock in the evening, dinner was included that night, and the next day's breakfast, lunch and dinner were all included in the all-inclusive package, and the day after that was breakfast and lunch. Since the children got up late the next day, they went swimming after breakfast, and went back to the room for a nap when they were tired of swimming. When they woke up at about three o'clock, they packed up and went to beach rouge for lunch. Because the butler would send the business hours of various restaurants for the next day the day before, we saw that beach rouge's business hours were 12:00-17:00, but when we paid the bill, we were told that we had to pay more than 500 US dollars at our own expense. I asked the butler myself and was told that lunch after 14:00 in the afternoon would be at our own expense. OK, no problem, if the hotel or butler informed us in advance when checking in, we would definitely pay attention to control the lunch time before 14:00. However, without any notice and without our room rate including lunch, and the restaurant's lunch hours clearly stated 12:00-17:00, you insisted on asking us to pay for it ourselves. Of course I couldn't agree. This is clearly your dereliction of duty. Why should I pay for it? It's too deceptive. It feels so bad 👎 The experience was very bad, and you didn't let us leave without signing the bill. Obviously, you didn't inform us during our stay, and we strictly abided by the lunch hours issued by the housekeeper. When checking in, it was also clearly stated that lunch was included in the room rate that day. I can't stand it 😓 I will defend my rights to the end! Another thing is that we experienced a storm the night before leaving the island. The room we stayed in was a romantic water pool villa, which required us to walk a long way every day. Buggy was not responsible for picking up guests from the water villa, so we had to walk or ride a bicycle by ourselves. That night, it was stormy and windy. We waited in the restaurant for a long time but it didn't get better, so we decided to go back to the room with an umbrella. On the way, my child and I were almost blown off the pier and fell into the sea, and there were no protective measures on both sides of the pier. Thinking about it afterwards, I was really scared. If I couldn't hold the umbrella and was blown into the sea by the wind, I would never come back. Because the wind and waves are huge, those who want to book a water villa must be cautious!!!
This is a luxury closed very expensive resort. The island itself was magical.
What was magical was that in the evenings the sharks, manta rays and turtles would come to the island and you could watch them

The staff is very professional! I want to say thank you on behalf of my whole family! My parents are very very happy! It is really right to choose conrad 👍 Good environment! Double islands! And it is a full atoll! If you have not been to Maldives, you will not understand, which means that the water villas are calm! You can even walk to see the coral reefs in the distance when the tide is low! The service is professional and efficient! Buggy always comes quickly! I only saw one mosquito the whole time! I was not bitten! All of these, there is no harm without comparison! Later, I changed to a certain brand resort, and it plummeted! One suggestion is that it is recommended to contact the hotel more than three days before check-in and book a restaurant! Because it is not bad to eat in a certain restaurant, but it is not enjoyable! The restaurants that need to be booked are a real gourmet experience! The Italian restaurant is great! The Chinese restaurant is very authentic! The only comment is that the fried beef noodles need to be wide noodles. Hahaha, a small flaw! Very delicious! The breakfast is also great! Experienced all kinds of climates! Very interesting. The fish look is OK, not as good as some famous ones, but those are either very expensive or old. Conrad is still the best overall.
Honestly, we had one of our best vacations ever! The Fiyavalhu Resort's personnel provided great services to us and made as feel really special. We stayed at a nice villa, which was in great condition and well equipped, it also provided us privacy and quietness. The food was nice, but not great. I would recommend to have more options for fruits and vegetables, other than that the seafood was very good. The whole resort is very well maintained and stuff is taking great care of its condition.
Do not read negative comments on internet - I can guarantee you that they are not honest and genuine. I would recommend it Fiyavalhu 100%!
It's a great resort. The facilities are not very luxurious, but they are very thoughtful and have everything you need. The water house also has a jacuzzi, which is very enjoyable. The scenery is great, and you can see a lot of things while snorkeling. You can usually see small sharks on the beach while walking around the resort. At this accommodation price, it is a perfect experience. There are very few Chinese people here. I saw two on the first day on the island, but none after that. They were basically European. I brought my family with me for vacation🏖️. The employees were very nice. There was a Chinese-speaking teacher on the first day on the island. My sister helped me check in, but I didn't see him for the next few days. Fortunately, I was able to play well with my loose English. In short, if the budget is limited, this resort is definitely the best choice. You can stay for a few more days. The scenery and services will not be discounted. I will go again if I have the opportunity!
Because I wanted to stay two more nights, I booked the hotel myself on Ctrip. First of all, I would like to highly praise Ctrip's service. No matter what questions I have, Ctrip will patiently communicate with the hotel and give answers. Let's take a look at the Radisson Hotel again. First of all, all the facilities are very new, especially the yachts that go out to sea are the latest and greatest I have ever done. Secondly, the sea view is invincible. Every time I come out of the room, I can’t help but wow. The casual photos are masterpieces. Even if it rains (it only rains on the first day, the weather is very good afterwards), the sea water is also blue and clear. Let’s talk about service again. No matter where you are, the staff on the island will greet you warmly. Every time the car comes to pick us up, the driver will ask you how your day is going. The same goes for the staff in the restaurant. At the entrance of the restaurant, he greeted him from a long distance away, and the butler responded quickly to the message. I read the comments before saying that they are very enthusiastic about foreigners. I think there is a high probability that the British are not good at English, and they can’t communicate with us^_^ In short, this is a very pleasant experience and it is worth the money. If you don't want to experience more hotels in Maldives, I really want to stay at the Radisson next time^_^
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Centara Grand Resort in the Maldives. The entire staff was amazing and incredibly kind throughout my stay. In particular, I must commend Nabeel for his outstanding service.
His attentiveness and helpfulness truly set him apart, and he seemed like he should be the manager with his level of dedication.
Nabeel was undoubtedly one of the shining stars of the resort.

I also had the pleasure of interacting with Chanapha at the reception, who was incredibly open-minded and accommodating. Her warm and friendly demeanor made my check-in process seamless and enjoyable.
The Centara Grand Resort is a true paradise, and the exceptional staff, including Nabeel and Chanapha, made my stay even more memorable. I can't wait to return and experience their top-notch hospitality once again.
The place is good, nice beach, staff. Very friendly and helpful. I will surely miss them. You can see sharks and rays by the port and they different breakfast everyday

HHungerfortheJourneyLovely little hotel on Dhigurah Island, helped us have a fantastic stay on ”Local” Island.
Communicated with the hotel via WhatsApp (phone number listed in hotel information) prestay. Helped with the booking of the boat transfer from Male to Dhigurah.
Every interaction with the team at Whaleshark Beach was with an engaged, smiling team member. The team made for a very relaxed, carefree holiday.
The restaurant meals were delicious and good value.
When taking a full day boat excursion, the packed lunches were just as tasty.
With the early morning boat transfer back to Male, they proactively offered a takeaway breakfast.
Whaleshark Beach is definitely a great choice for visiting the natural beauty that is Dhigurah and the surrounding marine life.
DDaniel069Absolute paradise found! 🌴 The Ari Grand Hotel & Spa is a dream destination for solo travelers seeking luxury and tranquility. My deluxe room with a balcony offered breathtaking ocean views that were simply mind-blowing. The cleanliness was impeccable - not a speck of dust anywhere. The staff went above and beyond, making me feel like royalty with their warm, attentive service. 🏝️ World-class spa facilities, an infinity pool, and a pristine private beach were Instagram-worthy at every turn. From gourmet dining to water sports, this resort nails every detail. Absolutely worth every penny for an unforgettable Maldivian escape. Highly recommended! 🌊

ММаринаI’m really happy I can find a pure gem on dhigurah island. it was a tranquil time there and cozy space like a tropical home. I felt myself safety and was totally pampered. everything was a calm but in time.
beautiful island and many ocean spots around to join sea animals life. all the team was excellent and very kind to me.
DDodo_SalleyThe place is good, nice beach, staff. Very friendly and helpful. I will surely miss them. You can see sharks and rays by the port and they different breakfast everyday
