Posted on Jul 6, 2026|Platinum Overwater Villa - Twin Bed
Guest UserWe stayed in an overwater villa. The hotel's strong points are its proximity to Malé Airport, just a 15-minute speedboat ride away, and the fact that it's actually three small islands or hotels connected together. This means a wider selection of restaurants, pools, and beaches. The overwater villas offer good value for money, and the sand on the beach is fine with plenty of fish, though they aren't the most colorful. Overall, the service is pretty good too.
The only minor flaw is that the hotel can sometimes be a bit slow with room cleaning and facility maintenance. For instance, some housekeepers didn't make the bed, and others forgot to replenish drinking water. Our balcony umbrella was broken by the wind and it took two days of requests to get it replaced. However, you can contact the Trip.com concierge if you have issues; the service from the domestic platform is indeed more efficient. Several problems were resolved thanks to Trip.com's follow-up. Overall, I highly recommend it; it's great value for money!

Guest UserAfter 2 days of staying in the water villa, we moved to the beach villa for another 2 days. The beach villa is even larger. We have our own swimming pool, big bathroom with a tub, plus an open air shower. Everything in this villa is very enjoyable. The milky white sands beach is just a few steps away, where we can enjoy swimming and snorkeling, or relaxed on the beach chairs, swing, and hammock. Abaan continued to take good care of us, making our stay here smooth and enjoyable. Worth of a special mentioning, the restaurant hostess, Mannu, always gave us a beautiful warm smile, and Sanampreet provided us with the most wonderful service, those made every of our meals here even more tasty. Our room attendant, Al-Amin is really nice and attentive, making our stay here super pleasant. Hope to see all of you again soon. We would recommend the Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort to all of our friends. The accommodation costs here are reasonable, and everything, the beaches, facilities, pools, bar, activities, entertainments, and the buffet, is excellent👍👍. The most important that it is easy to see many different kinds of fishes here. The wonderful people, the milky white sands, and the unique Maldives Blue water will drive us to come back again soon.

Angela1314maxiuLet's start with the positives: The food on Ganfan Island was truly excellent and perfectly suited our family's taste. The Thai and Bo restaurants were both delicious, and Midi was also delicious. It's right by the pool, and there's a super nice ********* lady who I consider my favorite waitress on the entire island.
The black guy who greeted us upon arrival was the worst in my opinion. He chewed gum, was inattentive, and never smiled. Fortunately, he realized he had trouble communicating with me (his English was limited), so he replaced us with a Malaysian guy, who immediately put me back on vacation. The rest of the staff on the island were all very good.
Secondly, the value was excellent. A four-night all-inclusive water bungalow for 22,000 yuan was fantastic (5,000 yuan a night is cheaper than some hotels in Sanya), and there's a 20-dollar daily credit per person that can be used off-island.
With kids in tow, and wanting a smooth island landing in the afternoon, this was a no-brainer. It was a no-brainer. We were literally in our room in just seven minutes.
Cons: It's close to Male, offering a panoramic view of the entire city. One side almost faces it, and at night, it's dotted with lights.
The snorkeling is average, with almost no fish beneath the overwater bungalows. After just one snorkel, I felt too lazy to get in the water or change clothes. The pool was fine.
Overall, it's suitable for beginners (I've visited various islands at least 20 times), so it wasn't particularly impressive.
It's a great place for families with children to relax and take their kids out. The island is neither too big nor too small.

Guest UserAs a resort offering great value for money, we were all very satisfied. At the airport, look for your contact person at counters A17-18 to arrange your speedboat transfer.
Firstly, this island is connected to the Hard Rock Hotel and Marina Hotel, which means you get to experience three islands in one. You can move freely between them, and there are 11 restaurants in total. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe chain restaurant one evening, and dinner for four cost us $200.
We stayed for 3 nights, rotating between a Sky Room, an Overwater Villa, and a Beach Villa, one night each.
The difference between the Sky Room and the Beach Villa is that the Sky Room is on the second floor with better views, while the Beach Villa is on the ground floor with direct access to the beach from the balcony. Each has its pros and cons.
The Overwater Villas have room numbers starting with 1, and you can directly access the sea for snorkeling.
The hotel has an app called 'SAii'. You can use it by scanning the QR code on your room TV upon check-in. It's available in Chinese. You can use it to request transfer buggies and sign up for many free activities. I initially thought we'd just relax for three days, but it turned into a bit of an 'intensive' trip with so much to do!
Diamond members have a happy hour from 5-6 PM, offering three types of snacks/canapés and unlimited complimentary drinks and alcoholic beverages.
We ate instant noodles on the first and third nights, and at Hard Rock on the second night. With happy hour snacks and drinks, plus breakfast, we had plenty to eat.
The hotel breakfast was quite good, though it was always a bit windy due to the sea breeze.
The speedboat transfer to and from the island takes 15 minutes, but it's very hot and stuffy inside.
Our group of four tipped the butler $20 in total. For the overwater villa, they allowed us to check in at 11 AM, and we moved to a different room at 2 PM the next day. We tipped $2 each time for luggage transfers. As we moved rooms daily, we didn't tip for daily housekeeping.
The hotel offers complimentary rental of snorkels, masks, and fins. We even saw a sea turtle up close during one of the free activities.
Diamond members can also rent paddle boats and yellow kayaks for free for one hour daily.
Bicycle rental on the island costs $10 for 24 hours.
In the evenings, you can find many small crabs 🦀 and hermit crabs 🐚 on the beach.
Recommendations: Bring instant noodles and snacks to the island, and a swimming float from home if you want to just relax in the water.
The island accepts USD, or you can use Alipay/WeChat Pay.

Close to the pier, the rooms are clean and spacious, and there's a pool with a beautiful high-angle view of the ocean. The fly problem in the restaurant, mentioned in previous reviews, has significantly improved; I noticed the hotel placed fly traps. However, the Wi-Fi in the room still occasionally disconnects, and I hope this can also be improved.

kelkonsVery nice and comfortable accommodation. Went with a friend of mine back in October 2023, and we were greeted by a warm friendly receptionist and a clean lobby. Our room was on the second floor, with very comfortable beds, toilets, and necessary amenities. Except that the sink's tap water smelled a little funny which we avoided using. However the reception was quick to send over whatever we requested, like water, clean towels etc. Would definitely book again if i ever visit Himmafushi again next time!

The Ultimate Healing Retreat: A Luxurious Escape for the Soul
If you are looking for a place to truly disconnect from the noise of the world and find your inner peace again, Grand Park Kodhipparu is the ultimate destination. After experiencing a period of burnout, this resort was exactly what I needed to recharge and find a fresh perspective on life.
Seamless Arrival & Pristine Beauty
From the moment we deal with the staff at the arrival area, the experience was effortless. The resort provides a dedicated luxury speedboat that picks you up and drops you off directly at the airport. It takes away all the stress of travel logistics. The island itself is incredibly well-maintained. The sand is powdery white, and the entire resort is kept spotlessly clean, preserving the natural beauty of the Maldives.
A Sanctuary for Peace
What I appreciated most was how the resort caters to both physical and spiritual well-being. They have a beautifully maintained mosque on the island, which is very serene, clean and well-kept. It added a layer of calm and convenience that made the stay even more meaningful
And not to forget, for your food of mind, they also have a mini library so that we can lay down through out the stay accompanied by the book of our choice. It can be borrowed & later returned via the reception.
Unforgettable Highlights
Snorkeling from the Villa: One of the best parts of the stay was being able to jump straight into the crystal clear water for snorkeling right under my room. The marine life is vibrant and right at your doorstep.
Dolphins at Breakfast: Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching dolphins play in the distance. We were lucky enough to spot them during breakfast, which was a magical way to start the day.
Stargazing: During serene night, either near the beach or while you slowly brisk walking back to your room, it’s surely the perfect place to just enjoy the Maldivian night sky with the beautiful shining stars smiling at you.
The Staff: The service here is world-class. Every staff member is genuinely kind, attentive, and dedicated to making your stay perfect. They really go the extra mile to ensure you feel at home.
The Perfect Cure for Burnout
The atmosphere at Grand Park Kodhipparu is incredibly quiet and private. It is the perfect place to sit with a book, listen to the waves, and clear your mind. I left the island feeling like a new person, with a renewed spirit and a calm heart.
Final Verdict: A 10/10 experience. Whether you are seeking luxury or a deep mental reset, this is the place to be. We cannot recommend it enough! 😘

Amazing Stay at Arena Beach Hotel
Beautiful beach vibes with a clean, hotel-allocated beach front long beach with refreshing dring service. and an infinity pool with stunning sunset views. Rooms are clean with sea view, with basic amenities with daily water, tea/ coffee, and towels are provided.Special thanks to Abishek from HK he was very attentive he acknowledges my request and resolved very quickly as my bathroom faucet was leaking.
Food & Drinks: Wide buffet & à la carte options at affordable prices, with non-alcoholic beverages. Dinner with live music made evenings extra special.
Sisha option was also a alternative choice as island not serving alcohol.
Breakfast buffet was good healthy choice with friendly service staff specially Hasan ali (friendly and professional man) Abash attentive and prompt service.Hasim/mahmood and one indian lady from Lucknow( good recommendation and suggestive selling) Nightlife & Activities: Relaxing and charming nightlife. Night vibes was really amazing dining ambience is same as five star resort level.
Water sports like stingrays and sharks snorkelling and Sandbank full days tours were unforgettable.
Reservations cheking and checkout processes was little tired For guests on long journeys who arrive early at the airport (e.g., 9:00 AM) but have transfers to the island only at 13:00, consider providing alternative options such as a comfortable lounge, refreshments, or earlier boat transfers. Waiting 4+ hours after a long 9-hour flight can be tiring, so small adjustments would greatly improve guest experience.
Special thanks to BERLIN as he is only senior label staff who always asked feedback with friendly manner and engage to guest relation service.provided all the information needed about our stay including chekin check out process make everything smooth and easy.
Value for money: Excellent. A beautiful island stay you won't forget!

Posted on Mar 1, 2025|Water Villa with Pool
Raquel MonrealOne of the best decisions I made during my trip to the Maldives was staying at Oblu Select Sangeli. I had an incredible and unforgettable experience there. I booked the water villa with private pool and it was stunning, offering the perfect balance between luxury and privacy. The private pool was the ideal spot to enjoy the sunsets and turquoise waters.
The staff were extremely attentive and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed during my stay.
If you are looking for a luxurious experience in the Maldives, I highly recommend the Water villa with private pool at Oblu Select Sangeli. It truly was a dreamy destination, and I can’t wait to go back!

Posted on Nov 28, 2025|Overwater Bungalow, Bungalow, 1 King, Ocean view
HamizahOI recently stayed at Sheraton Full Moon Maldives in one of their Overwater Villas, and it was a truly memorable experience. The villa was beautifully designed, clean, and well-maintained — offering direct access to the crystal-clear waters and stunning panoramic views of the ocean. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect escape for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The staff throughout the resort were generally excellent — friendly, helpful, and attentive. They handled all requests promptly and with professionalism. A special mention goes to the hotel management team, especially Mr. Megan and a few others, who went above and beyond to resolve a minor incident during our stay. Their approach was calm, respectful, and solution-focused, which left a very positive impression.
Most of the team displayed great hospitality, especially at reception, housekeeping, and concierge. However, the only slight downside was at ”The Feast” dining area, where a few staff members appeared less engaging and rarely smiled — a contrast to the otherwise warm and welcoming service standard across the resort.
