Hotels With breakfast in Vaavu Atoll, Maldives

While centrally located on the island, it's incredibly convenient to reach both beaches. It's just a few minutes' walk from the jetty, and if you arrange it in advance, they'll provide a pick-up service. On the nearby beaches, you can have amazing close encounters with stingrays and nurse sharks. The guesthouse is spotlessly clean, and guests are asked to leave their shoes downstairs. The Wi-Fi signal in the rooms was also excellent. Our booking included full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The food they served was delicious; while the variety wasn't huge, the portions were always generous. The service from front desk staff Shariq and restaurant attendant Susmita was truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Madi Grand Maldives. For excursions, book directly with Shariq; the small group sizes mean you'll have a much more fulfilling experience.

Stay here for 4days 3 nights. Once arrived jetty, the girl called Kiran serve us and lead us to villa. They did informed us earlier about the renovation and no sea view for sea view room. Kiran is mostly on night shift but she is very kind and helpful. She can understand your need and help us did the dinner table decoration for Birthday night. They provided the drone shooting with stingray, we experienced it and quite recommend. Room is clean, staff there also will ask if we need room service, the mattress are thick, air con is cool enough, mineral water can get easily outside the room. They did provide welcome drink and cool towel. Bathroom is prepared with shampoo and body shower but there is no toothbrush and toothpaste (need to prepare ourself, but if they can improved is good). Room also have a mirror and one inside the toilet. Hair dryer provided. Overall is perfect. One thing unsatify is about the mosquito, the reception counter and the cafe area have a lot of mosquito, hopefully they can provide the mosquito repellent spray as the mosquito is really affect the mood and environment. The food that they provide is nice, morning is buffet style and dinner sometimes is food ordering and sometimes is buffet. Maybe can improve on this by print out a memo before dining time so everyone alert with the arrangement today but not told by staff on the spot of ordering food. The day we left have to take the morning flight and very nice of them they prepared us the packed breakfast. I strongly recommend this villa as i really value their service and hospitality, very staff in their cafe all service with smile.

We were picked up at the Velana airport after an overnight stay at the local island, with transfer fee of $40 USD per person to take the speedboat to Fulidhoo, where Kinan Retreat is at. After alighting from the jetty at Fulidhoo, it's a short 5 mins walk to the Retreat. Welcome drinks and hot hand towels were offered. We missed the morning excursion trip but decided to go for it the next day. The room provided can have an extra bed for $15 USD. Fulidhoo is a small local island but it's the favorite hangout for stingrays and nurse sharks. You will be able to spot these lovely creatures around the shore, especially near evening time when there are people who start feeding them. You will be able to get up close and even touch them, but with caution. We went on an evening fishing trip that cost $45 USD per person, inclusive of a BBQ dinner for the dishes that were caught. On the next day before leaving for our resort island stay, we took the excursion trip to see dolphins, snorkeling with nurse sharks at SharkPoint and went turtle spotting, all these for $40 USD per person. Underwater videos were captured and shared by WhatsApp. Great service by the counter lady Shahidah. I will recommend this Retreat to visitors, and you will not be disappointed with the time spent on the island.

The hotel is nice, the food is decent (though the chicken and fish were often spicy), and there's always fruit (papaya, guava, pineapple, passion fruit, melon, and watermelon). On the first day, we were greeted with a welcome drink, and on our last day, we were given fresh juice and battered seafood as a complimentary dinner—a nice touch. The staff is friendly. We used the hotel's boat to get to and from the airport. The advantage is that if your flight is delayed upon arrival, they'll wait for you, and on the day of check-out, you can use your room and have lunch (we had a full meal plan). Overall, I recommend the hotel. The only thing is that the island is being actively developed, and construction is visible in many places. This spoils the overall picture a bit, and in the future, there will be a lot of people, making it difficult to find privacy.

Room: Very spacious. The master bathroom has a separate shower and a bathtub, which is very comfortable. The bed on the second floor faces the sea directly, offering an open view. The sofa bed on the first floor is also of good quality, perfect for kids. We didn't use the pool much, preferring to go directly into the sea to play. Island environment: Simple and beautiful, with lots of pretty fish. Dining: The main restaurant serves good food, and the menu changes daily. You can also pay extra to dine at a smaller, more refined restaurant with fewer people. Activities: The three-point snorkeling (sharks, dolphins, turtles) and sunset fishing were both excellent. The guides were very professional and took great care of every guest. You can borrow masks and fins to snorkel independently at the hotel, and there are many beautiful fish to see. Service: Very warm and attentive.

We moved from the beach villa to our overwater jacuzzi water villa with ease Upon reaching the room, we loved the view where you'll be able to see sunrise on the left side and the sunset on the right of it. Tried out the jacuzzi pool, swam around our overwater villa throughout the afternoon. We brought bread from the meals and fed the fishes that were always around the villa. During low tide, you could even stand in the water under the overwater villa with fishes swimming around you, all the time. Once in a while, you may see a solo nurse shark swim nearby. The pictures taken are so Instagram-able . Really enjoyed our stay at this resort. After meals, will play at the pool table, air hockey, play darts and table futsal. My son also paid a visit to the gym. There is an Ameera Spa just behind the main dining hall.

The island selection was very successful. In addition to the speedboat being a little far away (acceptable for more than an hour), there is also a seaplane option. The service response, accommodation hardware and snorkeling environment are all great. There are no mosquitoes on the island, and the water houses are even more comfortable and great. The sun set water house is closer to the trench and more suitable for snorkeling. The other water houses have more beautiful sea water colors, and the sand houses look very good. There is not much publicity, and even if the occupancy rate is relatively high, it is still very quiet. The island is not too big or too small, and it is not very tiring to walk and the sea water is beautiful. It is not hot for several days. Everything feels great. The breakfast can be changed more every day! I will come again in the future! The atmosphere of the water house is also good at night, not scary at all

We noticed an unpleasant odor in the reception area upon arrival. Additionally, there were items such as fish and boiled spaghetti left at the front desk, which gave an untidy impression. Overall, the reception area and guest house did not appear to meet expected standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

Останавливались в этом отеле на три ночи Это тихое и уютное место для отдыха с семьей. Персонал отеля супер позитивный и отзывчивый. По прибытии нас встретил сотрудник отеля и помог донести наши чемоданы до номера. В отеле нам дали приветственный напиток и холодные полотенца. В номере все показали и рассказали и проводили нас на пляж. В номере было чисто и у нас уборка была каждый день. Завтраки и ужины у нас были в формате шведского стола, но еда очень вкусная. На пляже плавали с маской и трубкой и видели много красивых рыбок, а на берегу крабиков. При выселении помогли организовать трансфер до следующего острова.

The room is clean, but in the bathroom there is no tissue paper. There is no non-bottled drinking water available outside the room for guests to fill it by themselves. The owner doesn't speak English fluently, communication may be a little difficult, but he tried to communicate with us.
