Canareef Resort Maldives

The biggest plus of this place, is the amazing staff... so so friendly & happy. We had an amazing time from the welcome when we arrived to the waves goodbye when we left. We booked a beach, villa with jacuzzi. It was a WOW when we walked in. Stunning & large. Air conditioning was excellent and the mosquito nets round the bed a big plus. Jacuzzi was great too, took a while to get used to the bathroom which was open to the outside. Our view from our veranda were breathtaking! Golf buggies, transported you round were quick and easy to call. The restaurant: I am not one for spicy food but found something ever night I liked. My husband was impressed with the food and he usually moans! There were lots of flies round the lovely deserts, they tried clingfilm to cover them, but I think a dome would have been better. The AI, drinks consisted of beer, wine (didn't like) and 9 cocktails. Spirits you had to pay extra for so disappointed I had to pay for my favourite drink 🍸 Spa, was fabulous. The bars & swimming pools were all beautiful, and well maintained (I can imagine a lot of money had been spent on building them). Sea was warm, I'm not a strong swimmer so didn't venture far but did see some fish and a lot of sea grass! Only two negatives the mosquito, grief they bit me alive (seemingly they spray ever night), so not the resorts fault. There is a one & half hours flight & 20 minutes speed boat ride to the island. But boy was it worth it, and yes I would return. Thank you Canareef

The service was excellent and the accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. The staffs were really accommodating and kind. Made the whole trip fun and enjoyable. The sceneries were breathtaking. The food was amazing too. Would really love to visit again for holidays

It was such a great experience.. all the staffs were really friendly.. rooms were spacious and affordable. The food was exqucite. And more importantly the place was kids friendly. I enjoyed my time @canareef and would recommend it to everyone.. please do give it a go. ❤️

Not the Maldives you would expect ,from male you have to take another plane (around 1.30 minutes ) plus the speedboat same when you go back we have our transfer 2am to male airport and our flight to uk was already 11am If you are looking for clear and blue water like from the pictures it’s not there , beach and water is dirty from the sea**** (maybe not lucky ) Resort is on the small island , everyone has the bungalow with bathroom without door outside and shower located outside as well with party of lizards and cockroaches every day Everything is far(restaurant or swimming pool ) so either you take the bikes or wait for a buggy Restaurant looks very sad , service is the worse we ever experienced only a few nice staff at the pool bar .Food is coming covered with cling film with flies flying around . There is no soft drinks in the room and if you want to take from the bar pool to your room the supervisor won’t let you even you payed for all inclusive if you pay over 5k for holiday you expect better quality and for sure better service and I would give to this place max 2* The average age is 70plus maybe that’s why there is not much bad reviews . My fiancé had a birthday during our stay and I sent the email with request if they can do something special for him so they brought for him a plate wrapped with cling film with a few fruits (I will attach picture , absolutely a joke ) Also there are a bats flying during daylight which was terrifying for me ( they were huge , you can google it they called flying fox ) We are travelling a lot and been in different places different countries but we never been so disappointed that we were happy we were going back home .

My stay at Canareef resort was an incredible experience immersed in nature, made even better by the friendly staff. A big shout out to Shizmee and his team for their exceptional service. Special thanks to Priya and Saikumar from the buffet restaurant for their hospitality and delicious meals. The serene environment made it a perfect place for a yoga retreat, allowing me to connect deeply with nature. Can't recommend it enough!
