Pros: We liked the restaurant very much; there were many choices for us.
Cons: Considering that I can compare it with other five-star Maldives hotels, I wouldn't rate this one with five stars. The staff can smile and say yes, but none of our basic requests were fulfilled. The location is beautiful, but next time I would choose a different resort.

Забыли про мое др, хотя муж переписывался с ними , заказал оформление и напомнил утром по вотсапу . Приеду я еще в этот отель, нет . Очень далеко . Постельное за неделю не поменяли . На ресепшене тоже странные девушки работают . Мила вроде такое имя , все время пыталась обманывать . Это очень считывается . Прождали водный самолет 6 часов !!! Если все таки поедете в этот резорт уточняйте время ожидания , как туда , так и обратно .

Pros: The vacation at the hotel was wonderful! We really liked the food - the variety of dishes was very impressive. It was always possible to find something for yourself, regardless of preferences. The service is at a high level - the staff was attentive and responsive. I would especially like to mention Mila - she was very friendly and caring. She was always interested in how we were doing and quickly answered all our questions. Her responsiveness has created a special atmosphere of coziness and comfort. Many thanks to the hotel for such a wonderful stay!

Good stay on an amazing island
Pros: The island is pristine and extremely well taken care of. The rooms are super spacious and confortable. We stayed in a beach villa and the water was a few paces away. The food on the main restaurant was pretty decent standard all inclusive fare. The staff was overall friendly and accomodating without being overly pushy. The airport pickup to the seaplane transfer was seamless and the flight was a breeze. The spa service was great as well.
Cons: Every time I had to sign a bill for a service I had to do a double check because sure enough i was being charged something extra or wrong (like full price at check in even though i had already been charged fifty percent or charging me for a bottle of wine instead of glass in one of the restaurants), this was annoying. The extra restaurants were just OK, i was expecting much better quality.

Pros: Die Insel ist sehr schön, alles ist gut gepflegt sowohl die Wege als auch der Strand. Die Zimmer sind sehr hübsch und sauber (Danke Imran). Das Personal ist allgemein sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich wohl! Die Behandlung im SPA war super! Bei meiner Kritik am Lime Restaurant hat man gleich darauf reagiert und ich wurde im Detail zu meinen Kritikpunkten befragt, das finde ich sehr positiv (Mostafa, streng dich an!). Die Transferte für einen Tagesausflug zu einer Nachbarinsel hat gut geklappt und man ist mir sehr entgegengekommen! Vielen Dank dafür!
Cons: Das Lime Restaurant könnte sicherlich noch verbessert werden. Es hat etwas Kantinenfeeling und ist nicht gerade ein 5 Sterne Restaurant, aber ich hoffe es wird in nächster Zeit daran gearbeitet!

Magnificent stay at a beautiful resort with friendly staff, wide variety of food options and gorgeous beaches
Pros: The island was beautifully maintained by friendly staff. You can walk around the island on well-maintained paths in about 30-45 minutes depending on walking speed. The rooms were thoughtfully decorated and comfortable with good privacy from other rooms. The food bar had a wide variety of foods to choose from and great variability that it didn’t become boring. The free non-motorized water sport rentals were a nice perk.
Cons: I can’t say I can specifically think of anything I didn’t like. I would’ve liked to see coffee/tea and soft drinks to be included with lunch and dinner with the full board package, not just breakfast.

Pros: Die Insel ist sehr schön. Weiße lange Sandstrände! Sehr schön um Spaziergänge zu machen! Die Zimmer sehr sehr schön eingerichtet (5Stern). Das essen, Buffet, war in Ordnung. Der Silvester Abend war sehr schön. Es gab ein Gala Dinner am Strand mit Musik und das essen war köstlich. Der Transfer über das Hotel hat super funktioniert!
Cons: Da ich schon auf einige Inseln auf den Malediven war, muss ich leider sagen, dass es gesamt keine 5Sterne Insel ist. Mind. 3Sterne plus oder 4Stern. Für Schnorcheln ist diese Insel leider nicht zu empfehlen! Das Hausriff ist zu weit weg und liegt auf 3-4 Meter. Das Personal ist sehr freundliche nur mit dem abservieren haben sie es nicht wirklich. Die Tische werden nicht abgeräumt, Die Coktails könne auch leider nichts. Sehr lieblos zubereitet. Also wie gesagt, keine 5 Sterne Insel. leider. Es fehlen einfach die Details bei der Einrichtung usw. Wir haben aber unsern Urlaub zu zweit sehr genossen. Würde aber nicht mehr auf diese Insel fliegen!

Pros: The staff was absolutely exceptional, very friendly and always ready to help. The island is beautiful, the food was good (strong Indian and Maldivian influence), the gym is big and has all types of equipments, internet connection very good (considering you are in the Maldives).
Cons: I think the facilities need loot of renovation, the hotel should invest a bit more in keeping everything in good shape. Also the Full Board and All Inclusive meal plans are not very clear and don't always make sense. If you are on a full board you can only eat at the buffet restaurant and if you want to go to Manta Restaurant they apply full prices (normally they should just apply an extra or give a discount otherwise it makes no sense to be on a full board plan). Also if you are on a full board drinks are not included. My recommendation for the hotel is to simplify and make it clearer for guests in advance so they can choose what they prefer.

Pros: Wir sind rundum glücklich mit unserem Aufenthalt! Wir waren in einer Wasservilla untergebracht, die einfach traumhaft schön war. Das Personal hat sich insgesamt so viel Mühe gegeben – wir konnten mit jedem Anliegen auf Susan zugehen, die alles für uns organisiert hat. Ahmed hat sich um unsere Wasservilla gekümmert, täglich vorbeigeschaut, Wasser aufgefüllt und alles war dank ihm total sauber und ordentlich. Das Servicepersonal im Restaurant ist total nett und auch das Buffett fällt reichlich aus, sodass man für jede Mahlzeit eine große Auswahl an leckeren Speisen hat. Der Strand ist sauber und wir haben die Größe der Insel als perfekt empfunden. Insgesamt konnten wir wahnsinnig gut entspannen und kamen eigentlich aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus. Die Unterkunft hatte darüber hinaus auch den Transfer vom Flughafen mit dem Wasserflugzeug für uns organisiert, was völlig unkompliziert geklappt hat und total komfortabel für uns war, wir mussten uns wirklich um nichts kümmern.

I cannot fault this resort !
Pros: The food in all the restaurants was exceptional with a huge variety in the Buffet restaurant - Lime. The Sea Bass in the Manta restaurant was Michelin star quality. The resort is very well maintained and perfect in every way. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Do not take into consideration the early reviews from when the resort first opened - these reviews skew the rating - as of now I rate this resort as a 10. I cannot really fault anything, and the value for money was very good compared to other resorts in the Maldives. The Seaplane was great fun and organised by the resort for a 'no hassle' transfer. I recommend and took the 'All Inclusive' package - you know your costs in advance. Water villa with pool was exceptional and incredibly clean and modern. Even though the resort is only a few years old, they are really keeping on top of the maintenance in this environment. I wish them all the successes in the post Covid times.
Cons: The only suggestion I have is for the water villas ; the bottom 3 steps onto the reef are slippery - just fit some non-slip strips or replace the bottom 3 steps with gridmesh or wrap in rope. But if you go down carefully it's ok.

Láthatóan nem készült el valamennyi szoba, mivel új szallas, és meg kivitelezés alatt álltak. Csak egy étterem volt nyitva, az is svédasztalos, nem a besorolásának megfelelő szintű. Gyakorlatilag egy gyenge, közepes minőségű menza. A szallas ára viszont 5 csillagos volt. Személyzetet üldözni kellett, hogy a szobát megkapjuk, panaszt tegyünk. Több vendég, köztük mi is, úgy döntött, hogy 1 nap után elhagyja a szállást. Wifi csak néha, és akkor is akadozva működött.

We had a worst experience! Let me go one by one Housekeeping: in the orientation they claim people will come for cleaning twice in a day. We had to call for a whole day and they did not appear until night. Also when we called reception about it, they says, it’s not their job. Food: we had all inclusive package, buffet was an awful. Pasta are half cooked. We had to eat rice and dal only for four days because of vegetarians. If you are from Asian country specifically from India, avoid this resort. Utilities: showers were working on/off, water flow was very low, some time it completely go es away. Complimentary Booking : we booked our complimentary services like sunset cruise etc on the day we arrived, it was booked for 2 days later, when we went for it, they did not even booked it. We had to fight for get it done same day. This is ridiculous. No other water sports are working. So overall if you like the beach, go for any other ordinary resort, you don’t need to be in brennia.

El hotel no tiene categoría de 5*. Muchas zonas se encuentran en restauración. Las habitaciones no tienen armario para guardar la ropa; solo tienen un perchero. La piscina, siempre estaba sucia. Los jardines que van desde la habitación a la playa, muy descuidados y tenebrosos. Pero lo peor de todo: La atención recibida por parte de la Dirección y la Administración. Tuvimos un percance con una de las actividades que vende el Hotel (Discovery Local Island), la cual fue todo un fiasco, y ante nuestras quejas (10 personas en total), los managers no aparecían. Finalmente aparece una manager (Ana Zaher), cuya actitud fue totalmente prepotente, haciendo preguntas absurdas como: Si alguna vez habíamos estado en una isla local. Si así hubiera sido, para qué íbamos a comprar ese paseo entonces? No fue capaz de ofrecer una disculpa por el timo del paseo, y peor aún, intentó culpar al personal que nos dio la información de la actividad. Sólo tengo buena experiencia con el resto del personal: Mode (Mohamed Rasheed) del Watersport.

Brennia is a fantastic resort on a beautiful island. The journey from Male Airport with the seaplane was well organized and the welcome on the island very warm. We had a beautiful villa right at the beach with our own pool. Everything was very clean and the stuff extremely friendly and helpful. Also the food in the restaurants and the cocktails at the bar were way better than expected. This resort is not total luxury, but highly recommended, if you want to spend a relaxing dream vacation that doesn't cost a fortune.

I have booked two types of rooms, a water room and a beach room, the water room No. 504 is excellent and the beach room 115 has notes: * Insects abound because of their presence in the middle of the trees. * The toilet does not work well, as well as the external lighting is malfunctioning, and I asked for maintenance work, and the response was very late (bedtime) and they asked me to go out to another room, and as you know, return your needs for bags to the tired traveler after arranging them in the lockers. * We thank the employee Maryam for the good reception. * The food is good and somewhat varied

We have full board package with all inclusive but during our lunch and dinner in the buffet, we had to pay for water or soft drinks. It's ridiculous, when water and soft drinks are included it states.

Booking Reference- 147130 & 147131 We stayed in Brennia Kottefaru from j16 Aug to 20 Aug (2n beach villa and n ocean pool villa. We had booked resort reservations via pickyourtrail. Our experience at resort was very avg considering the amount we spent 2.42 lakhs for 4 night.we had gone there to celebrate our 10 marriage anniversary Highlights : 1. Sunset cruise (complimentary) 2. Staff at Manta restaurant 3. Sea plane experience Cons : 1. We requested a cake to be delivered on our wedding anniversary date . Followed up many times on email, via Pickyourtrail and front desk personal and they confirmed they will make the arrangement but that cake never came. 2. Resort provides complimentary snorkeling boat trip and we do go on the boat for snorkeling. After reaching the point the instructor asked us not to come since we didn’t know swimming and it will spoil others experience. All I had requested was 5 min once everyone turn was over. I had done guided snorkeling in India but this is the first time I had such a bad experience. It spoiled our complete trip and confidence to spent money on water sports activities. 3. Resort provides free swimming jackets and snorkeling gears but they don’t have gears or swimming jacket for kids ( not even as rent). 4. Pickyourtrail suggested it’s a kids friendly resort. They have a kids activity room but that’s very very basic. Recommend not to spent so much money thinking abt sea plane or the complimentary services the resort provides because experience is not worth the money spent.

Wir waren 2 Wochen auf dieser wunderschönen Insel. Da die meisten Urlauber den Pool nutzten, hatten wir den rund um die Insel verlaufenden, weißen Sandstrand fast für uns alleine. Wir sind 2 Wochen Barfuß gelaufen. Unsere Wasservilla war die 605 sehr sauber, es wurde mehrfach gereinigt und kontrolliert. Für uns war der Einstieg ins Meer absolut ok - sowohl bei Ebbe, als auch bei Flut (da sollten nicht geübte Schwimmer aufpassen, da die Strömung logischerweise sehr stark ist). Hier findet man Ruhe. Über die Riffbleiche muss man nichts mehr sagen - trotzdem haben wir doch viele bunte Fische, Schildkröten und Schwarzflossenhaie (und deren Babys) beim Schnorcheln entdecken können. Die Hausriff-Schnorcheltour und die Sunsettour war im Preis inbegriffen und wir haben sie genossen. Zusätzlich haben wir die Delfintour gemacht und hatten Glück, da uns eine Delfingruppe fast eine Stunde lang begleitete. Das Personal war immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen haben wir als absolut ausreichend und sehr lecker empfunden. Der Transfer mit dem Wasserflugzeug funktionierte einwandfrei. Einziger kleiner Punkt von uns: Bitte lasst tagsüber in der Hauptbar etwas ruhigere Musik laufen. Wir danken dem gesamten Team von Brennia Kottefaru, die unseren Urlaub zu einem erholsamen und fantastischem Erlebnis gemacht haben.

This is not a 5 star resort. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but it's a 3 star resort I would say, maybe veering on a 4 star. The people are lovely and they do try and I could see the effort they were putting in. It was super clean, and the rooms are of a high standard and the bed and pillows super comfortable. The views were amazing and the grounds were really looked after. There was such a friendliness and warmth from the staff and that really made a huge difference and made up for any of the short falls. It wasn't perfect, but it was lovely and with some tweaks I think it could be great. The wooden decking around the main pool area, and walkways leading to the water villas were popping up all over the place and a trip hazard with rusty screws sticking up. We couldn't get the TV to connect to anything (not that we wanted it, but still - perhaps don't have it there if it's not going to work properly). The towels were musty smelling. The bedding not changed in our room the entire trip. The service around the pool is hit and miss. You have to pay for a soft drink if delivered to your room, even if you are on an all inclusive package. The drinks on the all inclusive package were awful. Cheap cheap cheap. Think flat syrupy coke and Fanta from a spray gun. All the fruit juices were sickly and from cartons. The wine like paint thinner. We saw people with fresh coconut drinks with real flowers in, but were told they were for VIP's and we had to pay $12. Unfortunately, they had run out when we wanted to order them so we never got to try them. Which brings me onto the food. We left hungry. The food was not to our taste and that was the biggest disappointment for me. No fresh sea food!! It was mostly meats and curry dishes and some random things like mashed potato and most of it tepid and not tasty. Nothing really child friendly either. The bread laid out each day was always stale and had flies on it. There was fresh fruit but the little we did have was tasteless. How can the fruit be tasteless in such an exotic climate??!! I've had tastier fruit from M&S! There was the promise of high tea each afternoon which also turned out to be a let down, especially when you are hungry. Some undercooked cheap chicken nuggets, over fried spring rolls. The entertainment needs work for sure - it started at around 9.30pm each night (mostly a DJ) but for those with kids, it was a couple of hours of hanging around doing nothing. There was no ambiance. No vibe. Just nothing. It was dead. One evening we had the promise of local singers singing Maldivian music. The female staff had been asked to dress up and dance, which they seemed mortified by. We had hoped we could enjoy the water sports that were included in our package. But anytime we tried to go kayaking or paddle boarding they would tell us the current was too strong and to come back another day/in the morning. We kept coming back but each time turned away. We asked to borrow snorkel sets but were told they didn't have any small enough for a 10 year old. I spent almost £5k on this holiday with Voyage Prive and it wasn't worth that. This was not a 5 star resort more like a 3 star. It's got so much going for it - with some tweaks it could be great.

I recently had the pleasure of spending a memorable 10-day vacation at Brennia Kottefaru in the Maldives, and I must say that it was an absolute paradise. From the moment we arrived until the day we departed, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Accommodation: We were fortunate enough to stay in a stunning water villa, which exceeded our expectations in every way. Waking up to the gentle lapping of waves and being surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters was an unforgettable experience. The villa itself was beautifully appointed, featuring modern amenities and elegant decor. However, the true highlight was the upgrade to a water pool villa, which took our stay to a whole new level of luxury. The private pool overlooking the breathtaking ocean was the epitome of indulgence. Resort and Facilities: Brennia Kottefaru is a true gem nestled in the heart of the Maldives. The resort's natural beauty and attention to detail were evident in every corner. The lush greenery, pristine white sandy beaches, and vibrant marine life created a picture-perfect setting. The well-maintained facilities, including the infinity pool, fitness center, and water sports activities, catered to every interest and ensured there was never a dull moment. Staff and Service: The staff at Brennia Kottefaru deserves a special mention for their exceptional hospitality. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival to the personalized service throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to make us feel pampered and valued. Their genuine smiles, attentiveness, and willingness to assist with even the smallest request were truly commendable. It was evident that their dedication and passion for their work translated into an outstanding guest experience. Spa Experience: No vacation is complete without a visit to the spa, and Brennia Kottefaru's spa session was simply extraordinary. The tranquil ambiance, skilled therapists, and wide range of rejuvenating treatments left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The spa's attention to detail and commitment to providing a blissful experience were evident from the moment we stepped foot inside. We left feeling renewed and refreshed, ready to take on the world. Candlelit Dinner on the Beach: One of the most magical moments of our stay was the candlelit dinner arranged for us on the beach. The soft glow of the flickering candles, the sound of waves crashing nearby, and the delectable cuisine made for an enchanting evening. The resort's culinary team outdid themselves by preparing a mouthwatering feast that tantalized our taste buds. It was a truly romantic experience that we will cherish forever. In conclusion, our time at Brennia Kottefaru was an idyllic escape in every sense. The combination of the stunning watervilla, impeccable service, unforgettable spa session, and the dreamy candlelit dinner created an experience that exceeded our expectations. We left with memories that will last a lifetime and a longing to return to this heavenly oasis. If you're seeking a slice of paradise in the Maldives, Brennia Kottefaru is undoubtedly the place to be. Thank you very much Brennia Team! Thank you Rhodie, Asim, Abu & many more 💙

We went there for our honeymoon and it was the best experience!!!!! We were a bit worried because we went in the rainy season but we didn't have many problems (we stayed 12 days and it only rained 2 or 3 - mostly at night so we could enjoy the pool and the beach without any problems - and for that rainy afternoon I booked a treatment at the spa where Nofi suggested a relaxing aromatherapy treatment which was perfect!!!). I want to highlight the amazing variety of food to suit all tastes (we were a little worried as we don't like spicy food) but we had no problems at all - all the staff go out of their way to accommodate your request - my husband loves lemons and they even went into the kitchen to get him some when they weren't available at the buffet. We would like to thank the guys who cook the pasta and the guy who makes the naan bread - it was also nice to have homemade ice cream in front of your eyes every night! Everyone was wonderful to us, but Salama took care of us and suggested an amazing guava juice that I loved from the first sip. The room and facilities were just as you see in the photos, and the beauty of the beach and ocean is incomparable - we recommend taking a trip with Mod to the sandbank and also the snorkelling trip as we were able to see sharks, turtles, moray eels, and lots of beautiful fish and the sunset cruise! Some nights you have a dj playing music and we had a great time dancing - he plays all the songs you ask for and even dances with you, what great memories Shariz!!!!! We also want to thank the guys at the bar as my husband wanted a cocktail called "calimocho" which is from Spain and they didn't know how to make it but they learned and recognised it and made it for him (also if you don't like alcoholic drinks I recommend the iced tea) - I can't remember all the names but Manish, Yashwant, Jose and Rishb will take care of your drinking needs with a big smile! For special occasions can't you contact Abu from Manta restaurant who is a person with a big smile and an even bigger heart! We also recommend you to go to the Sunset Grill restaurant, where the staff will serve you a la carte dishes. Finally, thanks to Azeez for welcoming us and taking care of our needs during our stay there - he will be with you from arrival to departure always with a smile and ready to help with every need you can imagine (we wanted to upgrade to a water villa the last night and he made it possible!). In short, you have to go there, but be careful, you might fall in love with this beautiful island and its people.

Weisser feiner Sand, türkis farbenes Meer = Paradies :-) Der Transfer mit dem Wasserflugzeug funktionierte super. Auch konnten wir direkt nach Ankunft am Morgen unsere Waservilla beziehen, nachdem uns zuerst die Insel gezeigt wurde. Da wir in der Regensaison waren, war das Hotel nur knapp zu einem Drittel gebucht. Dadurch hatte man am Buffet keine Wartezeiten und auch der Strand war menschenleer. Die Aufmerksamkeit des Personals war sehr unterschiedlich. Teilweise recht aufdringlich, vor allem beim Abräumen des Geschirrs. In der Bar/ am Strand wartete man meist sehr lange, bis jemand kam.

Schwierig da es mir recht schwer fällt eine Bewertung zu schreiben. Grundsätzlich macht man bei diesem Resort nichts falsch wenn man es bucht.. Aber wichtig für Schnorchelfreaks und Luxusfanatiker: Die Villas sind Ok aber es gibt deutlich besseres. Der Zugang zum Meer bei den Wasservillas ist erschwert. Das niedrige Wasser auch bei Flut trägt dazu bei das man auf jeden Fall Badschuhe abziehen sollte. Einfach so ins Meer springen geht überhaupt nicht. Der Meeresboden ist übersät von toten Korallen.. leider. Und Vorsicht: Trotz All inclusive ist ethliches nicht enthalten. Room-Service muss komplett teuer bezahlt werden. (Essen, Alk-Getränke) Einzig das Buffet-Restaurant ist inkl. Einige alkoholische Getränke muss man einen Aufpreis bezahlen. Weiteres was deutlich besser hätte sein müssen war der Service. Der Abschied von der Insel erfolgte still und fast schon traurig.. schade hier sollte das Hotel noch daran arbeiten. Auch noch wichtig: Regenzeit, Juni, Juli bedeutet nicht immer Regen. Wir hatten pech und Glück. 3 Tage Regen oder zumindest schlechtes Wetter, die anderen Tage aber super und perfekt. Dafür aber weniger Urlauber, weniger Wartezeiten beim Essen und etwas günstiger. Positiv? Gibt es auch: Der tolle Beach mit der Türkisfarbenen Wasser, das grundsätzlich gute Essen und die Lage nahe an Male. Wer aber unbeschwert Schnorcheln oder einfach Luxus wünscht ist hier nicht richtig oder einfacher gesagt, es gibt besseres. Werde ich nochmals buchen? Ich denke nicht ausser das Hotel passt die All-inclusive Angebote an.

Wir hatten wundervolle 7 Tage im Brennia Kottefaru! Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Ilyada empfangen welche uns zuerst eingecheckt hat und anschließend eine Tour über die Insel gegeben hat. Dadurch hatten wir direkt nach Ankunft einen guten Überblick über die Insel. Die Kommunikation für z.B. Abholservice, Getränke aufs Zimmer usw. erfolgt über WhatsApp was sehr reibungslos geklappt hat (WIFI gibt es überall auf der Insel). Ganz besonders wohlgefühlt haben wir uns im Lime Restaurant (Buffetrestaurant, wir hatten All Inclusive). Die Mitarbeiter sind besonders herzlich und zuvorkommend ohne aufgesetzt zu wirken. Besonders bedanken möchten wir uns bei Rhodie, Mohammed und Kamal, welche uns die meiste Zeit bedient haben. Aber auch alle anderen Mitarbeiter in den F&B Outlets waren sehr zuvorkommend! Auch ein großes Dankeschön geht an die Köche im Lime Restaurant, die Küche ist sehr gut und abwechslungsreich und ebenfalls sehr zuvorkommend. Wir konnten uns leider nicht alle Namen merken, möchten aber allen Danken! Last but not least möchten wir Hannah und Andrea vom Tauchcenter Ocean Dimensions hervorheben. Meine Freundin war nach einem unschönen Ereignis in Sri Lanka sehr verunsichert beim tauchen. Hannah hat sich sehr ausgiebig, liebevoll und professionell zeit genommen, sodass meine Freundin wieder die Freude und Sicherheit am Tauchen entdecken konnte. Ich hatte wahnsinnig tolle Tauchgänge, große Vielfalt an Meerestieren zu sehen und wahnsinnig gut organisiert. Man merkt das Andrea und Hannah mit wahrer Passion ihrem Beruf nachgehen und sich auch mal ein paar Minuten extra Zeit nehmen. 1 Stern Abzug da: Nicht ganz so zuvorkommend war eine Mitarbeiterin an der Rezeption. Wir sind zwei Mal mit Anliegen zu ihr gekommen (Handtücher für den Strand und die Verschiebung eines Jet Ski Termins), beide Male hat sie dies nicht ausgeführt und uns nicht darüber informiert. Nachdem wir sie darauf angesprochen haben, hat sie lediglich mit den Schultern gezuckt und weiter an ihrem Handy gedaddelt… Leider haben wir ihren Namen nicht aufgeschrieben. In unserem Package war eine Schnorchel Tour inklusive, die war etwas enttäuschend da zu kurz und das Wasser war an der Stelle relativ tief. Wir sind mehrmals um die Wasservillen geschnorchelt und haben dort wesentlich mehr Fische entdeckt. Wir waren in Wasservilla 603. Alles in allem war es ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, mit einem erstklassigen Service und wir freuen uns sehr eventuell bald wieder zu kommen. Krischan & Michèle

We stayed at Brennia Kottefaru end of June 2023. The resort is beautiful and clean. What would have been an overall good vacation was marred by a THEFT of our IN-ROOM SAFE of over $500. We noticed that our safe had an error message. Our friends' room next door also had an error message and we both had to have our safes opened by the staff. Fortunately they did not have anything stolen, just our room. We reported this and the property manager found us later in the day to ask questions and seemed very upset by the incident. However no follow up was given to us. I have subsequently emailed the property on 2 separate occasions to ask for follow up with no response. Also, the property is built on top of a beautiful coral reef. The water is very shallow and I saw a few guests walking through the reef undoubtedly stepping and destroying some of it. There should be some education to guests during the initial orientation of property about this - or at least some signage to not walk on the reef. Sadly cannot recommend this property due to lack of trust.

PARAÍSO EXCEPCIONAL es la descripción perfecta para BRENNIA KOTTEFARU. Fuimos con mi marido de luna de miel y no podría haber sido más perfecto. El lugar increíble y el personal inmejorable. Estuvieron pendientes de nosotros y nuestras necesidades en todo momento. Escogimos la Water Villa, pero la verdad es que todas las habitaciones eran preciosas. Nada más llegar nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos y con un detalle especial en la habitación para celebrar la ocasión. Fue todo muy acogedor. En especial queremos dar las gracias a SRIKANTH y a DJ, que hicieron que nuestros días en Brennia Kottefaru fueran inolvidables. Con su alegría y amabilidad, SRIKANTH fue muy atento y profesional en todo momento, solo con explicarle qué tipo de bebida te gusta, te recomienda el cóctel que mejor se adapta a ti. DJ por su lado, se preocupó de ofrecernos todo tipo de música y entretenimiento para pasar una velada perfecta. Hay muchas actividades para hacer dentro y fuera de la isla. Nosotros fuimos con el barco a hacer snorkel y HUSEIN, siempre con una sonrisa, nos enseñó todo el mundo marino. Gracias a él vimos tortugas, tiburones y muchas especies más que jamás abríamos visto por nuestra cuenta. Dar también las gracias a todo el personal del Spa, que nos dio un masaje increíble. Nada más entrar ya se respiraba relajación y harmonía. Respecto al buffet, super bueno, amplio y variado. Todo el personal super atento, alegre y servicial, en especial AZAD que nos atendió gran parte de la estancia con increíble profesionalidad. En fin, fue todo perfecto y esperamos volver cuanto antes. 100% RECOMENDABLE!!

What can I say about this resort other than WOW! The rooms are all to an excellent standard and recently refurbished. We stayed in an over the water villa and it was unbelievable, we had a stunning view from our deck area as well as stairs directly into the lagoon where you could swim and snorkel. As we were early to the resort (around 10am we were at check-in) our room wasn't quite ready so we were given a garden room to use until the normal check-in time and I must admit I was very impressed at the space and amenities of even this entry level room. If anyone is thinking about going to this resort but worried they would be disappointed with any of the rooms then I would like to say that this won't be the case. All of the amenities you need are available and if you are staying on the all inclusive plan then there are soft drinks, wines, beer and water in your room which are refilled daily. The one thing I would say is that it would have been good to get 2 of each soft drink per day rather than one but this is a minor inconvenience as s you can get these at the bars and restaurants as part of your plan. The resort itself was well maintained and the service from all the staff was fantastic, we have travelled to a lot of different places in the world and cannot remember ever having better service than we got at Brennia Kottefaru. The buffet restaurant had a very good selection for all meals and as part of our plan we were able to have either lunch at Manta or dinner at Manta or the Sunset Grill each day. We didn't end up trying Manta at lunchtime but sampled both restaurants for dinner and found the selection of dishes which were included to be excellent. We also had a massage at the spa which was extremely relaxing and well worth the cost which we found to be very reasonable compared to other 5* resorts we have stayed at. We also did the sunset cruise as this was included in our package, it was okay but unfortunately the evening we went it was a bit cloudy so not the best for seeing the sunset but this is just your luck on these things. We also did a trip to a sandbar, it was only a short morning trip but let me do some snorkeling, we saw dolphins and the sandbar itself was stunning. We will definitely be back to this resort in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone.

We booked this trip through TripADeal and only after doing so did I check the reviews, which some weren't great so I wasnt sure what to expect... However our trip was perfect!! So wanted to share our experience in case any future travellers are sceptical. The island itself is pure paradise! Water is a beautiful turquoise colour with great visibility for snorkeling. All the staff were friendly and happy to help. They were also super awesome with our infant son and most seem happy to play and interact with kids. Special shout out to Rhodie and Tom/Tory :-) Also the sea plane to the island is an added scenic adventure!. And we had no issues with waiting times etc as we advised Brennia of our flight times ahead of time (which is what they request when your booking is made.) For example: Our flight landed at 12pm and we were on the island by 2.30pm - and keep in mind it's a 45 min sea plane flight to get there. We stayed in a water villa which had a crib waiting even without us having to request one. Bed was super comfortable and villa attendant did two lovely bed decorations during our 5 night stay. We enjoyed the food and found the live cooking stations at Lime buffet to be great. Shout out to Rhodie once again who also organised a decorated table and cake as we celebrated a birthday while on our trip. Also had a few treatments done in the spa which were all nice and relaxing. Since we had an infant we weren't there for a party time so we enjoyed everything about our stay. But if you're after a party island than this place might not be the right island for you. However if you want to chill out and relax in a lil slice of paradise than Brennia is def a great option for you :-)

The air conditioner broke down and waited for a long time before the staff came to fix it. The service of this hotel can be said to be nothing. 等半天也没等到接机人员。上了岛免费的餐厅全是苍蝇。70美金的收费项目是带你去购物。卖的全是中国垃圾商品。空调坏了等半天才有工作人员来修理。这家酒店的服务可以说什么都没有

Moreover you have some bars, a spa, a gym, water sports and so much more you can do in the island. We booked a villa with beach access. The villa was super tidy and very spacious. It is cleaned every day. Also the water sports van be recommended. We’ve been snorcheling at the house reef which was super nice. But also the other tours can be recommended. All in all we had the best honeymoon. It was better than a dream and we can only suggest to come and stay here

Meine Frau und ich hatten eine Wasservilla Nr. 604 vom 4.April bis 14.April 2023. Gegen 10.30 sind wir mit dem Wasserflugzeug von Male aus angekommen. Die Begrüßung war nett und sehr freundlich. Anschließend wurden wir informiert wo man Essen und Trinken kann und welcher Service uns als AllInclusiv Gast noch zusteht. Schnorcheln und ein Ausflug bei Sonnenuntergang. Dannach wurden wir direkt zu unserer Wasservilla mit einem Cady gefahren. Unsere Koffer wurden gleich nachgeliefert. Die Wasservilla ist groß und geräumig. Das Bad mit Dusche und einer Außendusche waren für uns das Highlight. Die Terrasse mit zwei Liegen und direkten Zugang zum Meer. Das Kingsizebett war sehr bequem. Das Internet funktionierte am ersten Tag nicht richtig wurde aber sofort behoben. Nachdem wir ausgepackt hatten machten wir uns auf den Weg zum Mittagessen. Man braucht gemütlich knapp 7 Minuten zum Restaurant. Dort gibt es Buffet mit verschiedenen Gerichte die man zusammenstellen kann. An drei Ecken werden täglich andere Spezialitäten frisch zubereitet. Paste,Pizza und gebratenes Fleisch (Fisch,Huhn,Rind). Desert und Obst gibt es in einem gekühlten Raum. Am Tisch angekommen bekommt man sofort Wasser und wird gefragt was man Trinken möchte. Dann kann man zum Buffet und sein Essen zusammenstellen. Der Service ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Mit einigen kann man auch Smalltalk betreiben. Jeden Tag gibt es zum Abendessen ein wechselndes Thema. Am Mittwoch ist BBQ, was das beste für uns war. Nach dem Essen kann man an der Bar drinnen oder draußen den Abend ausklingen lassen. Es gibt Billiard, Fußballkicker und Tennis auf der Anlage, was wir nicht genutzt haben. Stattdessen haben wir am zweiten Tag die Insel erkundet und unseren Traumplatz am Strand gefunden. Direkt unter einer Palme. Ich bin zweimal zum Schnorcheln gefahren und habe am Riff jede Menge Fische gesehen. Sogar ein größerer Hai war dabei. In Strandnähe beim Ankunftpier schwimmen kleine Haie auf und ab. Die sind ungefährlich und sehr schreckhaft. Das Wasser ist türkisblau und ca. 28 Grad warm. Ebbe und Flut kommen alle 6Stunden und die Sonne brennt unerbittlich. Zu empfehlen sind Sandaletten da das Holz auf dem Steg sehr heiß wird und Barfuß man sich die Füße verbrennt. An vielen stellen empfehlen wir nicht ohne Schuhwerk ins Wasser zu gehen. Das traurige Problem sind die abgestorbenen Korallen die ans Ufer gespühlt werden. An unserem Strand neben dem Ankunftpier geht es ohne Schuhe. Trotz ca 100 Gäste auf der Insel fühlt man sich fast allein dort. Niemand am Strand, selten jemand im Wasser. Am Pool sind dann doch einige. Was wir nicht verstanden haben. Die Zimmer werden in der Regel zweimal am Tag gereinigt. Wir haben unserer Servicekraft gesagt das einmal reicht. Handtücher und Badetücher werden täglich gewechselt und wenn man mal was braucht muss man nur anrufen. Im Zimmer kann man sich Tee oder Kaffee kochen. Wasser in Flaschen sind immer reichlich vorhanden und kostenlos. Die Terrasse wurde in unserer Zeit kein einziges Mal gereinigt oder der Ascher geleert. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei und sollte von jedem selbt eingestellt werden wir er es mag. Alles in allem waren wir begeistert von der Insel, dem Strand, dem Wasser und vom Personal, die immer höflich grüßen und helfen wollen. Ach ja, kleiner Tipp an die Raucher. Nehmt genug Zigaretten mit auf die Insel. Dort kostet die Schachtel 15 Dollar. Wir können dieses Resort mit besten Gewissen empfehlen auch wenn es hier und da Reparaturbedarf hat (Steg zur Wasservilla). Deswegen von uns 4Sterne.

We stayed for 10 nights. Very nice room, clean and great view, the only downside was that there was some maintenance work in the nearby villas starting early in the morning. Very helpful and friendly staff (Ras from hauskeeping is the best, number one). I recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday.

Сервис никакой. Отстой, ни в коем случае не берите, от всего сердца не советую!!!! Осталась недовольна обслуживанием в отеле. Заехали в отель примерно в 13:00. У нас была вилла делюкс с бассейном (классная). Нас сразу не заселили. Мы просто сидели на ресепшене, Мила, про которую все пишут, сказала, что типа ждет подтверждения готовности номера. Мы сидим и сами говорим-так может мы пока сходим на обед? (Он до 14:30). Она-а, да, можно, идите. Серьезно? Гости только заехали с дороги, время ближе к 14 уже. Сами-то никак догадаться не могут, что надо сразу на обед отправить?!?!? Где менеджеры отеля, которые должны учить персонал, как правильно с гостями работать?!?!? Ладно, поели. Приходим на ресепшен, Милы нет, никто на нас внимание не обращает. Сели, сидим. Вдруг подходит парень, мол вы из какого номера, мы называем. Отвел нас в номер. Чемодана не было. Ждали минут 10 его. В номерах уже были пляжные полотенца. Я одно положила на шезлонг. С утра его убрали. Пришла уборка, полотенце новое взамен не принесли. Написала в чат (там сразу создается в вотс апе чат на каждый номер отдельно), мол где взять его? Ответили-сейчас принесут. Прождали ЧАС!!!!!! Написала еще-где взять полотенца? Ответили-продублировали заявку. В итоге-ПОЛОТЕНЦА НЕ ПРИНЕСЛИ!!!!! Сами ходили к бассейну за ними. И НИ РАЗУ уборщик нам не приносил новые пляжные полотенца!!!! Уборка должна быть 2 раза в день. Нам 6 дней убирали только 1 раз в день!!!!! Вы воообще уже?!?!? Пошла на ресепшн-сказала это. После этого уборщик больше с нами не прощался, когда заканчивал уборку при нас (до этого выходил на террасу к нам, мол все ок, пока). Мы ему, ……, чаевые оставляли, а он нас нае…….л 6 дней, а потом начал морду видишь ли кривить!!!!! Ребят, у вас отель ПЯТЕРКА!!!!! Я даже думать не должна, что нужно где то искать пляжные полотенца!!!! Уборка должна быть утром и вечером, а не после обеда и вечером!!!! Мух туча, вы сами это не видите?!?! Сидишь, кушаешь, а у тебя тройка минимум мух сидит на еде!!!!! Я не шучу, мухи чуть ли в рот не лезут. Маракуйю нужно ВЫПРАШИВАТЬ у нарезчика фруктов. Серьезно, там был один парень, так у него никогда маракуйя не лежала на тарелках. Спрашиваешь-есть маракуйя? Он из под полы достает по одной штуке. А в другой день захожу, там стоит другой нарезчик, так у него весь день маракуйя на тарелке. Я, б…., в пятерке должна себе маракуйю ВЫПРАШИВАТЬ?!?!?! Ребята, але!!!!! С сыром для макарон и супов та же история, его просто не стало на 8 день. Появился твердый сыр в порошке, в какой то день его убрали из общего доступа, чтобы сами не сыпали…. ПОЛНАЯ ЖЕСТЬ!!!! Мы были в июне в облу селект сангели. Отель 4ка. Но там таааакой уровень сервиса. Бренни -тупо 3ка, если не 2ка. Специально пишу, потому что невозможно не сравнить. Алкоголь фигня, просекко нет. Вообще в 4й раз на Мальдивах, этот отель-полное г……. Ни в коем случае не портите себе отдых, даже не думайте, хочется каждого предостеречь. Должны были в чате писать каждый день, какие мероприятия. Нам никто ни разу ничего не скинул. Работники ездят на машинках по острову, НИ РАЗУ не предложено подвезти. В других отелях всегда предлагали, когда мимо проезжали. Стоит отдать должное садовникам. Остров утопает в зелени, действительно красиво, красивые лагуны. Пляжи чистят весь день. В целом скажу так-остров был прекрасен, отель ужасен. Многие пишут-типа настраивайтесь на релакс и не обращайте внимание на мелочи. А я скажу так-задача отеля сделать отдых на чиле, чтобы вообще ни о чем не думали гости. Этот отель максимально старался сделать так, чтобы мы не расслаблялись. Кстати, про минибар в номере. Это порнография!!! Растворимый кофе, никаких снеков, пива нет. Две маленькие бутылки вина, 3 банки газировки. Круто) ребят, насмешили. В спорт баре НИ РАЗУ не включили телики, никаких трансляций матчей. Пиво карлсберг баночное. На главном бассейне ни разу никаких движух днем, тишина полная. Обслуживание на главном баре медлительное. Можешь ждать напиток минут 10, серьезно. И вишенка на торт, накануне выезда мы прошли на ресепшн, как раз была Мила. Нам в общий список включили 2 кальяна вместо одного. Она пошла разбираться, вернулась, мол ок, ошибка. Напечатала новый счет и сказала, что уберет в компе лишний кальян. В это время другой сотр как раз распределял листки с уведомлениями о выезде. Мы спросили-когда мы вылетаем? Так у нас чек аут в 05:15!!!!!!!!! Вылет на гидросам в 06:15!!!!!! Это при том, что мы на аэрофлоте в 11:00 улетать должны были. Мы спрашиваем, можно попозже то? Это уже перебор так рано лететь. Мила ответила-нет. А потом на сл день мы встречаем знакомую из этого отеля, ее с дочерью забрали в 08:00. Зае…..сь И еще-при чек ауте на ресепшене с утра нам снова выставили счет на тот кальян, который обещали удалить. Если вам плевать на такие мелочи-отель для вас. А если вы уже хотите высокий уровень сервиса- НИ В КОЕМ СЛУЧАЕ!!!!!! Цена=качество на 100% соотв. За такие деньги не ждите хорошего сревиса

Сейчас отдыхаю в Бреннии, это не первый мой визит. На этот раз очень хочется отметить станцию водных видов спорта. Ребята молодцы, готовы работать даже во время своего перерыва, если гостям нужны активности. Если ты чего-то не умеешь или не знаешь, с радостью покажут, расскажут, научат и всё подробно объяснят. Приятно удивлена тем, что появилась услуга съёмки с квадрокоптера. Ребята, это что-то нереальное и очень крутое! Всем рекомендую, поверьте, это стоит своих денег! Каяк с прозрачным дном выглядит очень эффектно в воде 🔥 Также хочется отметить русскоговорящую девушку Диану, которая сопровождает экскурсии. И да, не могу не сказать вам про Милу, которая ведёт туристов на протяжении всего отдыха. Она на связи 24/7, готова помочь и решить любые вопросы и сделать всё по высшему уровню❤️ Поверьте, этот человек сделает все, чтобы ваш отдых был незабываемым! Бар - отдельная любовь! Алкогольные и безалкогольные напитки просто прекрасны! Все бармены учитывают пожелания клиента и творят такие шедевры, что невозможно остановиться :) Отдельное огромное спасибо Dhanraj, Bachu, Rishаbh, Lal, Ashish. Также огромное спасибо Nini and Pradeep. Этот шеф всегда сможет приготовить ваш улов с рыбалки великолепно!!!

Reviews are important and so I'm going to be 100% honest. Once I purchased the voucher on travel zoo, communication with the hotel was incredibly difficult. I was even concerned at one point this was a scam. Fast forward, it was legitimate but again communication with reception was poor. The bad: - all inclusive is not all inclusive; you must pay for premium liquor including Malibu (Malibu is coconut rum; I would hardly consider it premium) - if you order food at the bar, it's chargeable - the food was average; flies all over; disgusting and unsanitary - we booked excursions for the week and reconfirmed them later that day; when we showed up to snorkel, we didn't have a reservation - to compensate, we were taken to what they call a sandbank (what it really was, was a deserted island) We were told we would have 1 hour snorkeling; after 30 minutes, we were being rushed back onto the boat to return - Agree with a previous review that there isn't much fish around the island - Island Tour excursion is horrible; don't waste your money; the guide tells you very little about the people/island; basically it's a boat ride and then a visit to 3 local shops that sell cheap crap. - the advertising for the 'sandbank' is false advertisement; it's not a sandbank and looks nothing like their pictures; plus they charge you $150 a person. - there are 2 specialty restaurants; however you can only eat at them 1ce per day; if you want to go to those restaurants more than once per day, you are charged. - upon arrival, we were greeted and checked in by one person; he gave us a what's app number and said reach me if you need anything; when we messaged him, the response was always the same, 'talk to someone at reception' - the staff at excursions are kids who are not properly trained for tourism; they have no idea what they are doing and make a lot of mistakes. If you're there for only a few days, the smallest mistake can mean missing out on an excursion you were looking forward to. - the excursions never left on time; very disorganized; we were late by almost 1 hour for an excursion because they said there weren't enough water bottles for the customers - if you request room service, it's not included in the all inclusive - I want to stress that the food options were limited and nothing special; I was very disappointed. - when we were reviewing the charges, we noticed they charged us 4 times the amount for the bar food; when we pointed this out, they said, 'oh it was a machine error'; no apologies, no attempt to find out if anyone else was impacted by the 'machine error'; eventually they fixed the amount but it took almost 40 minutes and we had to go get the bar menu to prove the cost of what was ordered - if you want to order a cocktail you can only do that from a specific bar; cannot order in the main dining area OR carry the cocktail with you from the bar to the main dining area The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the spa was great but outside of that, this place and the staff were a huge disappointment. I would not recommend spending your money or time here. A family member visited a different resort one week before us and they had a much better experience.

Choosing a place for another vacation, we, without thinking twice, go back to the resort Brennia Kottefaru. I want to note that this is the third time we go there, that's why make conclusions by yourself :) But I will help you with this) In September 2023, I celebrated my birthday there, which was just amazing! All my wishes for food, a private dinner by the ocean and room decoration were taken into account by Asim. By the way, this cool guy also gave us a very nice hotel room, with lots of trees and a great beach! If there are any problems, you can safely contact him - I have no doubt that he will solve everything and even more for your pleasant. We arrived at the hotel in the evening time, we wanted to take a shower and relax. Our villa was perfectly clean, and there was a compliment from the hotel - fruits and champagne on the table. I would like to mention our cleaner Lahiru, who did his job conscientiously. And his towel crafts are just a bomb, I don't even know how he does it 🙈🙈 Very talented! By the way, on the day of our departure, he made HIMSELF😱a rose from a branch of some tree. Such pleasant things make people happier, and the rest is just wonderful, isn't it? We visited this resort in September 2022 also. And what I want to say: Brennia has reached a new level of development. The entertainment program has become better: karaoke, disco, watching movies, cocktail party, maldivian night. Maldives is a place of relaxation and enjoyment, but sometimes there is not enough drive, and in Brennia Kottefaru everything is in balance. Chef Mostafa is a real creator in the world of gastronomy. His dinners at the Manta Restaurant are simply magical! I would also like to mention the water sport station: its head is always ready to help you, advise, prompt, give lessons in driving a jet ski, make your vacation rich and unforgettable. Can't note the Russian-speaking girl Mila, she is always ready to solve any problems, take into account your holiday preferences and organize any events. The bar is the birth of incomparable and incredibly beautiful cocktails at the hand of the master of his craft Dhanraj. Always polite, kind and original guy. He burns with what he does, and it shows! So feel free to order something new for yourself, he will be happy to realize all your wishes. By the way, his colleagues Bachu and Rahul are also very cool bartenders. I advise you to try cocktails at each of them) I would like to express my special gratitude to commis chef from Sri Lanka Pradeep. He always addresses each person with respect and warmth and rushes to help. I wish you success in your future career! In general, I want to say that this resort must be visited. It is the fact that the hotel is improving every year that pleases and makes you come back here again and again. Best wishes for improving to most high level, guys! With love Julia and Valeria❤️

We stayed 5 nights at Brennia! The only complaint I have is it wasn’t long enough! We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. The excellent condition of the island resort, the high standard of service, food, accomodation. The staff from the flight to the room service to the buffet, the sunset grill, the manta, water sports guys, to the dive instructors. Mohammad, Jowel, Rudy, Allen and Niheem, you were amazing, happy, attentive and couldnt do enough for us. I was so very impressed with the special care I received regarding my dietary intolerances. Last but not least, the hundreds of dolphins who farewelled us as we were flying out. Absolutely spectacular. Easily the best rest and relaxation holiday we have ever had.

On arrival everything looks nice the room was really nice & it was over the ocean room but it wasn’t facing either the sunrise or sunset! Then I was informed that on an all inclusive holiday the mini bar has 3 small soda cans & 2 small bottles of wine 1 red 1 white a glass in each, I asked 3 times for only diet sodas & 2 white wine but they couldn’t do that & any beers or spirits requested would be charged for even on all inclusive? Then they only had one beer Heineken that’s it not even a decent beer they had no cider & the spirits were all cheap stuff, the sports bar that was raved about on arrival closes at 18.00 & when I asked to use the facilities the barman said there wasn’t any available so I had to go back to my room or the pool area to use facilities both at other ends of island. The food was nice enough but nothing special it was repeat repeat repeat & none of the staff bothered to engage in conversation. The worst thing though was the lack of wildlife there is hardly any fish around the island my last visit to Meeru in Maldives there was fish everywhere baby sharks swimming right up to the beach but we didn’t see anything even snorkelling round the island unless you used one of their excursions. Also when you book a seaplane get the price in writing because I was told 700 dollars but they charged me 850 dollars & they charge you for any luggage over 25kg including hand luggage.

Если хотите испортить себе отдых - Вам сюда! На мальдивах не первый раз- это худший отель из всех отелей в которых мы когда либо были Позиционируют себя как 5 звезд и стоят как 5 звезд . По факту 3 звезды К номерам претензий нет. Все чисто очень даже неплохо. К уборке есть небольшие претензии. –это забывчивость персонала то минибар пополнить то полотенца поменять. Но можно смириться . Начнем с приезда 1.Отель знает когда приезжает турист. Нам пришлось ждать минут 15 когда нас заберет катер с гидросамолета … С другого отеля за людьми катер уже стоял и ждал 2. Чемоданы в номер могут привезти через час после заселения!!! 3. Номер был-водная вилла- с бассейном купаться невозможно течение сносит ступеньки скользкие. Есть виллы на другой стороне- там поспокойнее. Но они не для всех почему то …нам не поменяли 4. Еда в отеле очень скудная еле тянет на 3 звезды 5. Напитки официанты приносят неспешно , могут забыть , ну не раз за ними ходили и напоминали что мы заказали. Коньяк –африканский- ром –бразильский вино- столовое не знаю чье. 6.Напитки с 10-24 бесплатно в другое время все платно . 7. Сами напитки –отвратительные. Спиртное-Африканского производства. Не вкусно абсолютно все! И вино и коктейли и пиво и коньяк и прочее. Виски колой можно разбавлять –еще боле менее 8. Касательно обслуживания .У нас была компания .Был др. Устроили сюрприз с водным завтраком ( платно 800 дол) . Заказали на ресепшн. Предупредили - у нас др. Обозначили время. Все пришли к 10:00 , кроме самого завтрака!! Предвидев это я начала звонить с 9:45 в румсервис и на ресепшн . Мне все 45 минут отвечали. Как только приготовим так сразу принесем . В конце концов принесли , и немного не то что заказывали, но хоть теплый был. На ресепшн об этой истории знают. Подходили раза три . Извинились сказали сделают скидку. Потом еще 2 раза подходили. В результате при чек ауте, опять как в первый раз … Пришлось заново проходить процедуру и скидку сделали 25%. Но осадок остался. 9. Заказали цветы накануне по фото. Сказали какие есть в наличии- белые тюльпаны в белой упаковке . Прислали: красно-белые розы в черной упаковке с красной лентой!!!! Занавес. 10. Отель не поздравил нашу именинницу никак- ни открыткой ни украшением номера ни фруктами- никак!! Только после нашего вечернего возмущения- вечером украсили номер и на ужин принесли торт с двумя свечками )) 11. В номере есть одноразовые тапки и зубная щетка с мини пастой.-не пополняют. Видимо думают что этого тюбика хватит на неделю. 12. В номере есть есть мини бар- 2 вина красное и бело по 250 мл. Тоже не пополняют. На ресепшн везде один ответ с улыбкой - сейчас все выясним и уладим. Все сделаем конечо! Это недоразумение !В чат напишем Все принесут. И все. И так по всем пунктам. Ну в общем впечатление самое негативное от общего руководства отелеми его персоналом. А сам отель боле менее сносный.

Здравствуйте, пишу отзыв спустя ровно год после отдыха. У нас отдых получился неоднозначный! Мы девчонками (6 человек) были здесь в середине октября 2022года! Были все впервые. Жили по двое в виллах с бассейнами на берегу. Были конечно не в сезон. Поэтому из 7 ми дней, 4 дня шел дождь. Прилетели мы на гидросамолете, пилоты классные! Вид с самолета был красивый, но не достаточно яркий как в роликах, так как было всему облаках. У меня была мечта увидеть острова сверху. Приземлились возле плота в океане, смертоносные нас на лодке доставили на берег. Шатало знатно) с лодки еле сошли на берег, обрывался трос, шел дождь, нам выдали зонтики. На ресепшен прикрепили нас с менеджеру русскоговорящиму, честно не помню уже имя. Классно что можно передвигаться на багги! Остов зеленый, чистый, из животных: гикоши, ящерицы средних размеров, летучие лисы и ВОРОНЫ (((портили своими криками атмосферу))))) широкая береговая линия мне наоборот не очень понравилось, очень долго идти до океана) мне не хватило пальм!!!! Из на острове очень мало! У ресторана и немного где виллы без бассейна. Были постоянно волны, с маской не поплаваешь! Ничего не видно. Очень много обломанных караллов, больно наступать, особенно со стороны вилл без бассейна. С той стороны еще постоянно уходила вода ночами! И постоянно был ветер везде на острове! Разнообразие еды хорошее, но не все вкусное. Фрукты вкусные только бананы, ананас….да и в общем то все. Все остальное кислое. Нравились блинчики на завтрак и омлеты которые при тебе готовят. Ресторан манта не понравился, не вкусно. Виллы классные, чистые! Один раз выбрались на снорклинг. Очень было страшно. Были волны, но увидели черепаху. Она плыла прям на меня я хотела до нее дотронутся, но меня отдернул инструктор, и потом по пути обратно что то мне говорил( я не знаю английский) но поняла что он угрожал полицией. Короче когда мы плавали , к рифу близко подплывать нельзя было из за волн, начался сильный ливень, все было в дымке, и лодки даже не было видно. Соответственно рыб, как таковых мы не увидели. Вернулись благополучно живы) все это омрачил один факт: мы с подругой не положили деньги в сейф и у нас стащил деньги наш рум бой. Больше никто к нам не заходил. У меня стащил 100$ у подруги 100 евро и 20$. Причем деньги лежали в потайных карманах сумок. И это мы обнаружили за час до отлета. Конечно они передали нашу жалобу в полицию, и она нам писала на почту, но понятное дело ничем это не закончилось! Поэтому я ждала год, чтоб написать отзыв! И предостеречь, чтоб люди убирали деньги в сейф. В итоге я сделала вывод: что прилечу еще раз на Мальдивы, но все же в сезон и хочу на острова в сторону экватора.

Since coming back from Brennia I have found myself repeating the same thing over and over again. 'It is hard to find the words to express how truly incredible and magical it was'. And this is no lie. Everything about this trip was beyond my wildest dreams and I regularly got quite emotional over how wonderful it was. We stayed for 7 nights in a water villa with a pool. The room was beautiful, we loved having our private pool and the outdoor shower. Our bedding, towels, beach towels and robes were fresh daily and the turn down in the evenings was a lovely touch. Our room was spotless every day and the mini bar topped up regularly. We spent most of our trip in the ocean and this was aided by the steps from our room into the sea. I have seen some reviews saying the steps were slippery but we did not find this at all, (in fact someone came daily to ensure this was the case) we also had beautiful soft sand under our villa and not coral. We saw reef sharks and a vast array of fish around and under our villa daily. Snorkelling trip was great, with lots of fish and sea turtles to swim with. Diving was fantastic. Hana and Andreas are amazing instructors, I was a little nervous as although I have my PADI open water it was my deepest and longest dive but Hana was amazing and held onto me throughout! We saw the manta rays and hundreds of beautiful fish. My partner dived again the next day and saw sharks and eagle rays. The food in the main dining room was excellent, lots of choice and it varied every single day with a new theme. The live cooking stations were a great addition and the food was always fresh, warm and tasty. We especially loved the morning omelettes and fresh fruit. Roni was our waiter throughout and was attentive and friendly and we miss him lots! Cocktails were lovely and the staff in the bar were just as attentive as everywhere else on the island. I used the spa for three treatments and they were amazing. The spa itself is lovely and relaxing and my treatments were amazing, i came out soft as a peach and smelling incredible!! The beaches were pristine and seemed so quiet. There were moments it felt like we were the only people on the island. We loved sitting and watching the fruit bats fly around the island, even during the day! Our transfers were seamless and the seaplane journey was such a treat. There was nothing about Brennia that we could complain about. Every need was met and we wanted for nothing. We spent the last few weeks like we were in mourning as we missed it so much. I shed many tears on our last day. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. We cannot wait to come back to Brennia and are already planning the same again next year

El hotel no tiene categoría de 5*. Muchas zonas se encuentran en restauración. Las habitaciones no tienen armario para guardar la ropa; solo tienen un perchero. La piscina, siempre estaba sucia. Los jardines que van desde la habitación a la playa, muy descuidados y tenebrosos. Pero lo peor de todo: La atención recibida por parte de la Dirección y la Administración. Tuvimos un percance con una de las actividades que vende el Hotel (Discovery Local Island), la cual fue todo un fiasco, y ante nuestras quejas (10 personas en total), los managers no aparecían. Finalmente aparece una manager (Ana Zaher), cuya actitud fue totalmente prepotente, haciendo preguntas absurdas como: Si alguna vez habíamos estado en una isla local. Si así hubiera sido, para qué íbamos a comprar ese paseo entonces? No fue capaz de ofrecer una disculpa por el timo del paseo, y peor aún, intentó culpar al personal que nos dio la información de la actividad. Sólo tengo buena experiencia con el resto del personal: Mode (Mohamed Rasheed) del Watersport. Lal del servicio de bar Mohamed del servicio de piscina Y por supuesto, nuestros amigos y compañeros de gym: Abud (Outles manager), Chipoo y Thaif.

Не дожидаясь нашего отъезда с острова решила сразу же написать отзыв 🤩 так как эмоции переполняют нас ❤️ Радушно и очень красиво встретил нас персонал в брении 😍 с гидросамолета пересели на катер и мы уже в раю) безумной красоты остров и конечно его огромный плюс что он новый! Красота здесь на каждом миллиметре 🥰 персонал очень внимательный тактичный все улыбаются, в любую секунду готовы тебе помочь! В номер приходят и утром и вечером. Смотрят что все было в идеале) А при заезде мы еще узнали от менеджера Миллы что у нас комплимент от отеля в виде бассейна на вилле, хотя у нас было оплачено вилла без бассейна 🙈 от этого мы были в легком шоке и не верили что это происходит с нами! Абсолютно бесплатно) (сравнивая например с турцией в которой нужно доплатить чтоб тебя заселили в нормальный номер не в подвале) А тут такой комплимент 🤩 благодарим отель за этот подарок! Про питание это отдельный разговор) собираясь на Мальдивы я думала нас будут кормить морковкой и фруктами, а тут и роллы тебе и морепродукты, и тунец и лосось 🍣 и любителям мяса тут тоже понравится 👌🏻 и говядина и курица есть все и безумно вкусно!!! Шеф-повару огромное спасибо 😊 ваша кухня - это любовная любовь ❤️ Пляж заход в океан все идеально) широкая пляжная линия, безопаснейший и мягкий заход в океан с любой точки острова! А какой безумный цвет воды океана 🙈 я чуть не ослепла от увиденного и причем даже в дождливую погоду! Вообщем наш отдых запомниться нам на всю жизнь - это разрыв сердечка 💔 надеюсь еще раз вернуться сюда 🙏🏼 И в дополнении к моему отзыву: была уверенна что на Мальдивах тихо и спокойно, но для тех кто любит повеселиться каждый вечер в баре Лопелла есть развлекательная программа: живая музыка, диджейская вечеринка, караоке, анимация тоже очень на высоком уровне) и коктейли 🍹 там отменный 👌🏻 алкоголь отличный, качественный

Сейчас нахожусь в этом райском уголке🏝️ Хоть октябрь считается еще не сезоном, но нам везет с погодой, бывает дождь, но солнца намного больше! Отель инстаграмный, стильный, чистый, ухоженный, очень зеленый, все продумано до мельчайших деталей 💚 Персонал - невероятно приятный. Большей заботы я не встречала ни в одном отеле Мира, всегда спросят как дела, нужно ли что-то. Отдельная благодарность Миле, всегда поможет, расскажет, подскажет как лучше. С её легкой руки нам повысили категорию с обычной виллы до виллы с бассейном, подарили плавучий завтрак, экскурсию на лодке на закате, поездку на снорклинг на живой риф, это невероятно приятно! Питание мы выбрали AI, и это было лучшим решением. Кухня очень хорошая, покорили мой привередливый желудок. Вкусно абсолютно все. Всегда присутствует говядина, курица и рыба. Фрукты - дыня, арбуз, папайя, ананас, маракуйя, цитрусовые и т.д. На завтрак, обед и ужин в основном ресторане действует шведский стол. Вам предложат прохладительные напитки, пиво и вино. Крепкий алкоголь и всевозможные коктейли в баре LaPella в неограниченном количестве до 24.00 Также алкоголь можно выпить в SportsBar, кроме коктейлей Про виллу. Номер шикарный стильный, с милыми дизайнерскими вещицами. Огромная кровать с мягкими подушками. Санузел с тропическим душем под открытым небом. В номере есть вода, чай кофе, напитки в жестяных банках. Главная жемчужина это конечно теплый Индийский океан бирюзового цвета с белым песком, который не нагревается. По итогу, я с удовольствием рекомендую посетить этот прекрасный остров-отель Brennia Kotefaru

Brennia is a fantastic resort on a beautiful island. The journey from Male Airport with the seaplane was well organized and the welcome on the island very warm. We had a beautiful villa right at the beach with our own pool. Everything was very clean and the stuff extremely friendly and helpful. Also the food in the restaurants and the cocktails at the bar were way better than expected. This resort is not total luxury, but highly recommended, if you want to spend a relaxing dream vacation that doesn't cost a fortune.

Перед поездкой читали разные отзывы про отель. Что хочется отметить: Почти все виллы очень приватные, это огромный плюс! Отель новый, 2020 года, если не ошибаюсь. Большая линия пляжа, что редко встретишь на Мальдивах. Во «всё включено» огромный выбор алкоголя, это и Савиньон Блан, и коктейли, и виски с колой. Обычно только самый дешевый алкоголь, остальное за доплату, но не тут. На завтрак, обед и ужин всегда свежайшие фрукты: папайя, манго, дыня, арбуз, ананас, маракуйя и многое другое. Для овощей и фруктов, а также сыра и десертов отдельное прохладное помещение. Паста на выбор, любая яичница, яйца пашот. Программа развлечений продумана на каждый день. Есть русскоговорящая девушка Мила, во всем поможет. Если есть какие-то вопросы, всегда идут навстречу, слушают и слышат. Скоро приедет новый шеф повар, обещают шведскую линию ещё лучше. Единственное, нам не повезло с погодой, но это к отелю отношения не имеет.

This is a review purely on the island. With some big family birthdays being celebrated in 2023, we decided to look for a dream holiday back to the Maldives. 4 couples and my granddaughter of 30 months. We had not been for 17 years, others had visited in more recent years but not to Brennia. We wanted a small unspoilt island if possible. Blue bay Travel provided this for us at a great price with fantastic ultra all inclusive. With half our luggage lost, the Brennia rep at Mali was fantastic! A very tired and emotional group was greeted by a friendly and empathetic face that softened the blow. Onto the sea plane and our dream starts. Blue sea below and a setting sun! A smooth landing and a short boat trip to the pier where again we are welcomed with big smiles and refreshing towels. The short walk to reception allowed us to soak up the realisation we had indeed arrived in paradise! A short introduction at reception with a refreshing drink. Again an empathetic response to the fact half the cases had not arrived, but were assured they would do everything they could to get them to us asap! Room 240, a beach villa. OMG! A large well dressed room with comfy bed! Authentic inside/outside bathroom with two showers. His and hers basins. Amazing air con in the room! The sliding doors led you out to a small deck with table and chairs and a wash station for your feet. Wander through the palms to paradise! Golden sand and blue sea! Our own subbed and umbrella too. Our dream had become reality! Truly breathtaking! La Pella, main bar was huge with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, a large choice of drinks too. After losing the best part of a day due to travel problems next morning feeling refreshed our holiday really begins! An amazing nights sleep refreshing shower and off to breakfast. The short walk to the Lime restaurant provided breathtaking views by the sea. A great selection of hot and cold food to suit every pallet. Omelettes to die for! Service was great by all the staff, friendly attentive and genuine. We set up base next to the beautiful pool. Fantastic size and temperature with a small child’s pool attached. The pool attendant was brilliant always setting up beds early and offering fresh towels. Drinks service ran from 10 til 18.00 and we soon became big Ray’s biggest fans! Positioning ourselves right meant sunset from the sunbed every night at 6pm! This really was ticking all the boxes! In short, all food sittings in Lime were delicious, great choices and the quality was exceptional, such beautiful flavours. Also loved the fact that Mustaffa, head chef on several occasions spoke to us. Themed nights too overed variety. Our waiter Absul although an arsenal fan was a delight as were all the staff. The sunset bar and restaurant was closed for repairs during our stay which was a shame but we were able to enjoy their menu at the Manta restaurant. The manta restaurant was a special treat! Our package allowed us to eat either lunch or dinner everyday. The food was fantastic at Lime but to have table service at Manta was a welcomed change. Allan our young host was faultless so accommodating bearing in mind there was nine of us. One evening we opted to sit outside. A spot of rain and Allan seamlessly whipped us inside to an already set up table. Within seconds a huge downpour! We also had a visit from Mustaffa, head chef again checking we were happy with the food. We did use the manta daily and mostly opted for the evening made special on our last visit when Allan set us up a table on the beach! The sports bar was a gem of a pit stop when walking round the island. A great location and quiet getaway. Plus a short walk from our room! We were a little concerned that we had come in the rainy season, but in two weeks we only had one morning of rain! The rest of the rain fell at night, so was never a problem. The weather was glorious offering amazing sunsets too. We would not hesitate to return during this time. Facilities were great, my partner used the well equipped air con gym, once! The child’s play centre was good also. A tennis court if you wanted along with pool tables and other games. If you want good snorkelling this is not the best island, however some of our party did see, turtles, rays, sharks and dolphins! It’s more the reef and fish that aren’t as vibrant as other islands. Water sports was available too but we opted for a relaxing break. In conclusion we could not really fault the island as a whole especially for the money we paid, it’s fantastic value. Yes there are some repairs that need addressing and am sure this is work in progress. We wanted an untouched, unpretentious quiet paradise island which is what we got! Thank you Brennia for giving us unforgettable memories xx

Great service amazing staff who go out their way to please. Huge range foods every meal at Buffett. Great restaurant staffing skyways hi that extra Mile to please. Suggest if u get a overwater bungalow not on the reef side as it was always too rough n windy to get in the water from stairs from your deck which was greatly disappointing for us. Loved the golf buggy pick up services. Highlight was seaplane trip to the island. Sadly not good snorkelling here & very little fish life in the water & no really good corals to see either which was disappointing and thus not the island for snorkelling or diving.

We were looking for peace & quiet & total relaxation on a tropical island. And that’s exactly what we found at beautiful Brennia resort on the idyllic island of Kottefaru. Brennia is not a part of any hotel chain or corporate organisation. It is owned by a local Maldivian and its emphasis is on making the most of the natural beauty of the island and giving its guests a five star experience in its own special low key way. Here small is beautiful- there are no other hotels or bars on the island and the resort’s rustic charm blends in perfectly with the island’s natural features-trees, flowers, palms, deserted white sand beaches, clear blue seas. The low rise villas are cleverly hidden amongst the greenery and the overwater villas occupy stunning locations at either end of the small island. We stayed in a Brennia X ocean villa & it was perfect in every way from the stunning sun deck with private infinity pool to the outdoor shower perched above the waves. It was the perfect combination of modern features, power shower, efficient air con, good Wi-Fi and satellite TV with the rustic Maldivian touches in its decor. The mini bar was replenished daily with wine, water & soft drinks & even the smallest of requests to housekeeping was dealt with swiftly and always with a smile. Food & drink was excellent throughout our 10 day stay - the food & service in Lime Restaurant was so good at EVERY meal that we never went anywhere else. Mostafa the F & B manager was always around the buffet at every meal ensuring the food & service was of a high standard & chatting with guests to listen to their feedback - which he responded to with positive actions. He is DEFINITELY one of the stars of the Brennia team. There was always plenty of variety of freshly cooked dishes & a choice of wine & chilled water was served to our table by the friendliest of staff - Mohamed is an amazing restaurant manager who went above & beyond to look after us assisted by the lovely Roni. The restaurant location is beachside - think toes in the sand, the swimming pool is also beachside & is large with plenty of sun beds, mattresses & towels. The service, range of drinks including cocktails and afternoon tea are all first class and the weekly “meet the management”cocktail party is a highlight. The greatest strength of this amazing place is undoubtedly the team who ensure the happiness of the guests. Ahmed the Sales Director is another of the stars here:he is the most charming, personable and kind guy- he is genuinely interested in guest feedback and wants to ensure 100% satisfaction. His assistant Eisha, with her beautiful smile also brings a real warmth and friendship to the party. Ninni the F & B operator, along with others, ensured that my birthday was marked with a cake and table side celebration. She’s always around, working long hours to ensure the guest experience is the best it can be & always with a smile & a joke & a lovely vivacious personality. The way that these amazing staff interact socially with their guests-even including Nofi from the spa & Dr Bala- is a testament to the very special & personal treatment you will receive at Brennia. Because it is small you immediately feel connected to the island and its people. What it lacks in personal butlers, extensive entertainment & activity programmes etc it more than makes up for in natural charm, tranquility and calm. The pace of life here is slow, the staff have time to talk, nobody wants anything from you other than to know that you are happy with your experience. And for us that was everything, it ticked every box without exception and we will return many times. We’ve definitely found our happy place.

The Maldives has long been on our bucket list and so after reading many excellent 5* reviews we decided to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary at Brennia on this beautiful island. It was the best decision we ever made! We have traveled extensively worldwide but NEVER felt that we had found a place which we would actually describe as “perfect” We would give it 10 stars if we could and are already planning our return visit. From the minute we landed at the jetty in our seaplane to be met by lots of smiling hotel staff - one assigned to every couple - offering cold drinks & help with our luggage we knew we were somewhere special. As we walked down the jetty to the reception the beauty of the island hit us- low lying wooden buildings in Maldivian style were in perfect harmony with the pure white soft sand, crystal clear turquoise blue sea & gently swaying palms. Check in was friendly, helpful and extremely efficient thanks to Ileyda and a small administrative error in our booking which she resolved swiftly. We soon realised that that is how Brennia works - they work tirelessly to ensure that their guests are 100% happy all the time! After a really helpful and informative tour of this small gem of an island we were taken in a buggy to our overwater villa-the Brennia X. Wow! It was absolutely stunning and totally exceeded our expectations. The furnishings are of the highest standard, every modern convenience has been thought of, the bed is huge and comfortable and the pillows and bedding dreamy & soft. Air conditioning is super efficient and the hot water is always plentiful and piping hot though because the weather was so hot & sunny we only had cold outside showers! The outside deck, furnished with comfortable sun loungers & table & chairs & an infinity pool was stunning and the experience of stepping down the steps & swimming in crystal clear blue waters was exquisite. From then on we settled into what we can only describe as the best beach holiday we have ever had & for a couple in their 70’s that is high praise indeed. The beaches were quiet and uncrowded and sun loungers & towels were plentiful both on the beach and by the large swimming pool situated just feet from the edge of the beach. We sat by the pool on large comfortable sofas & sipped cold beer and excellent cocktails made to order from the extensive cocktail list, (included in the all inclusive deal)always served with a smile & a friendly chat from all the lovely staff. Even the background music is just right everywhere - quiet, relaxing low key in keeping with the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of the island. We only ate in Lime restaurant because it served delicious fresh food with lots of variety, breakfast is plentiful with eggs cooked to order as well as a range of breads, pastries, fruit, traditional Maldivian dishes etc etc. There was also lots of choice at lunch and dinner, including fresh fish, curries, fresh vegetables, different cuts of meat, pasta and Maldivian dishes. There is a different theme for dinner every night so the food never gets boring- the beach bbq was especially good! The patisserie chef, Chathu, is a wonderful, happy guy who creates the most beautiful little desserts and cakes & is so keen to please you by making anything you would like - his Tiramisu-made specially for us after we mentioned that we like coffee- was literally the best we’ve ever tasted. The setting of the restaurant is sublime- every day we ate on the deck right on the beach under the shade of the trees with glorious views out to sea, or by candle light in the evening. The romantic meal on the beach for two to celebrate our anniversary was a highlight, beautifully done, it will stay in our memories forever- along with the totally unexpected impromptu birthday celebration complete with cake, candles and a large group of the staff serenading our table! The service in the restaurant and every bar is quite simply outstanding. Mohamed is the best restaurant manager ever- he’s friendly, courteous and brilliant at his job, greeting his guests personally with a warm welcome at each meal & attending to their needs with a genuine smile & a desire to please. He leads an equally impressive team of staff all of whom go out of their way to make their guests’ dining experience special. Special mention must go to Roni who was our waiter the whole time. He also had a smile & a warm welcome every time we entered the restaurant & along with Mohamed they gave tireless and professional personal service & attention to every detail to go the extra mile to make us happy. We didn’t eat at the a la Carte restaurant ps because Lime restaurant was so good in every respect! Evening entertainment was low key, a disco on a couple of nights and some local Maldivian dancers who were impressive! This is not a “ party” island - it’s a place of total relaxation & tranquility. There a cocktail party on the beach one night which is a chance to get to know some of the Management and department heads and what an incredible bunch of people they are. They are like one big friendly family - all committed to ensuring that guests at Brennia have more than a 5 * experience. They are all clearly happy in their work and keen to chat to guests, laugh & share a joke with them and hear their feedback which they react positively to. The stars of this place are without doubt Ahmed, Mostafa, Mohamed, Esha, Ninni, Dr Bala, Nofi - Brennia is very fortunate to have such wonderful, talented and dedicated employees who made us feel so valued. We left feeling we had made new friends for life with these people and in awe of the service, care & time that they so generously give. So, go to this place, embrace its natural beauty, its calm & relaxing atmosphere, its people, snorkel in the bluest ocean, watch the stunning sunset from the boat, spot the dolphins nearby, have a floating breakfast in your pool looking out to sea - Mostafa will arrange it & it’s totally unique. We will be back to visit our Brennia family next year for sure.

Пишу отзыв находясь в отель! Отель замечательный, если хотите тишины и спокойствия Вам сюда! Добирались из спб флай Дубай! Далее уже на гидросамолете до отеля! Встретила нас в отеле Мила, показала нам остров и отвезла в нашу виллу на воде! Вила отличная, но не совсем комфортно купаться, рядом риф и большие волны, так же берите коралки. Еда вкусная и разнообразная, много мяса и фруктов !в ресторане можно выпить только безалкогольные напитки или пиво ,вино! В баре на пляже с 10 и до 24 алкогольные напитки пиво, вино, коктейли и крепкий алкоголь. Мы брали питание « все включено» . На острове алкоголь очень дорогой, к примеру , бокал вина на ужин стоит 16$ .Море поражает красотой , краски невероятные. Всегда есть свободные лежаки, полотенца есть у бассейна. Каждый день разная анимация. Ездили один раз на бесплатный снорклинг, риф не совсем богатый, но посмотреть есть что ! Самое главное это погода, сентябрь не сезон, ночью были дожди, днем пасмурно бывает, но очень тепло и комфортно. Когда светит солнце очень жарко. И в пасмурную погоду сгораешь, берите от загара крем минимум 50. Солнце очень жесткое. Даже в не сезон рекомендую поездку. Отель отличный, не обращайте внимание на плохие отзывы. Отель СУПЕР!!!

We have just landed from a wonderful holiday at Brennia. I have given it a 5 star review because we had an excellent experience however I think in the league/rating of resort stars Brennia is probably a 4.5star in the Maldives with other resorts being 5 or 6 stars. However in comparison to UK hotels amd European resorts it is 5! The staff are so polite from the moment you arrive to departure. I booked via Voyage prive and found the whole experience to be very pleasant. No one expects anything from you and they are very attentive. We booked this resort as it was sold to us as having 3 restaurants, 1 was closed for renovations and the other I hadn't realised wasn't included on the all inclusive price. The menu from the closed restaurant was available but needed planning so we didnt bother. Lime restaurant was well staffed, its a buffet, everything is clean and fresh. The menu is variable on a daily basis so we didnt get bored of the food. We did dine at Manta the other open restaurant and the food was exceptional as was the service by Winta and the restaurant manager. Depending on where your room is it can be a bit of a walk, the whole island is about is about 15-20mims walk. You can buggies to transport you. We'd especially like to mention Afzal at lime restaurant he knew our names and was always smiling and gave good service as did another waiter Jowel. We loved the spa. The treatments are not cheap, but they are worth it. Faatima and Vishvash were again polite, skilled at their job and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in the ocean pool rooms absolutely beautiful and luxurious: the hotel does have rooms for all budgets. To counter a different review I saw before leaving for my holiday: I left my purse in the restaurant. Didn't realise for a while, when I did the guys at the restaurant found it and had it sent back to our room. The only criticism from a transparency point of view, is that sometimes our drinks didnt get to us if ordered at the bar and we took a seat, table service was excellent. There are excursions available, ours were canceleld a few times as they are weather dependent so probably book these as soon as you get there. Also our snorkel guide wasnt great, we werent confident snorkeling; it was quite choppy : he didnt help, i think we could have continued if he'd spent some time with us after I told him we'd need it. I did complete my PADI at Ocean Dimensions who are based at the resort, couldn't fault the instructors they were so patient and well worth doing some diving if you can! There are events on a nightly basis at the bar, there are lots of varieties of drinks, a great games area, pool os lovely as is the gym. We even made use of the onsite doctor who was very knowledgeable and kind. We'd book again at the same place because it was luxurious without pretentiousness.

Very good seaplane transfer from Male to Kottefaru. Unlike many locations here you disembark onto a floating pontoon at sea in the bay and then hop onto a boat to be ferried to the jetty. This was unexpected and, had any of us been infirm, would very much have been a problem, so perhaps make this clear on the website and to travel operators? Definitely lucky that the sea was quite calm that day; witnessed othered struggling when the sea was choppy! Met at the jetty and it was nice that the staff knew who we were without us having to announce ourselves. A little frustrating to then have to spend 30 minutes having the workings of the resort explained to us and then given a 15 minute tour of the island. Having been travelling for 18 hours all we really wanted was to get to our room, so a suggestion to the hotel would be to offer the briefing perhaps the next morning? The chap who explained it all, Azeez, was helpful but we did not see anything of him for the entire duration of our stay; would have been nice if he (or anyone for that matter) checked in with us to make sure all was well. This seemed to set a pattern; if you wanted or needed anything you had to seek someone out and ask, rather than staff making the effort to approach you, the guest, to check. In this respect the hotel is definitely not a 5 star resort. The same applied to the pool and bar. Any decent 5* place would have staff coming and asking if you need anything. Not the case here: you have to go and find someone to order a drink etc (and then, considering the place was less than 30% full, wait an age, which seemed poor. You need to collect your pool towels and lounger mats; again, a 5* resort would have then all in place waiting for you. On one occasion towels did not appear until around 11am! Poor to say the least. The room - we had a sunrise water villa - was lovely. Large, plenty of space to move and relax, plenty of storage for clothes etc. Good air conditioning too. Steps into the sea were very steep and quite difficult to use, especially getting out of the water. Bathroom was large and open air, which is lovely when the weather is fine, but not great in the rain. Quite an odd sensation showering in warm water whilst cold rain falls off the roof and down onto you! And, on one especially bad stormy night, we awoke to find the bathroom awash; towels soaked and thus useless, and a very slippery floor. The toilet was also not swept for the duration of our stay. We also noticed that the dressing table and other furniture in the room was not cleaned at all. The night before we were leaving, I was basically asked by the housekeeper for a tip (he didn’t say “pay me” but did hold his hand out and said “I hope you are happy with the room but I will not see you in the morning”, expecting me to cross his palm with silver). That was just atrocious behaviour. The food and drink was ok; not great and certainly again not 5*. Quite repetitive in the main buffet restaurant (Lime) and actually rather bland. We accept that not everyone likes too much heat or spice, but on a traditional Maldivian cuisine night the hotel really should be serving authentic local cuisine. We did give feedback about this and, to their credit, they listened. Mohammed, a top guy from Egypt, looked after us well and we were presented the next day with a genuine Maldivian curry for lunch. So much tastier than the regularly served toned-down other food. It wasn’t just the curries that lacked; it was all just rather bland. The “hot dishes” that you helped yourself from at lunch and dinner were often not readily replenished and were often, at best, warm. The drinks on offer in the restaurant were limited and service was slow. We and other guests could not understand why we were not allowed to order a pre-dinner G & T from the bar and not take it through to the table. Just odd and petty. The island environment is beautiful; almost fully fringed by sand, with vegetation just behind the beach to screen the beachside villa rooms. The area is tidal and, apart from at the western end around the water villas, the beach shelves steeply; not bad at low tide but a bit of a struggle in the surf at high tide. There is also a lot of broken coral underfoot so do invest in water shoes if you plan to stay here. Around the water villas at the east of the island the seabed is covered in broken coral and rocks; again, water shoes are very useful. There were fish to see around this area, certainly a lot more than on the complimentary snorkel safari out to the reef, but actually compared to other places we have been (Cuba, Mexico, Egypt in particular) not a great deal to look at. The coral here is in a very sad state; bleached and dying, with very little colour. These points are not the fault of the hotel, but should be mentioned so you know what to expect; the hotel boasts about the reef but it’s really not all that! The colours of the waters around the island are simply breathtaking; nature really shines brightly here. Perhaps it was because of the time of year we visited, but there was not a great deal of colour in the form of flowers on the plants here. It may be that, as a fairly new resort, plants have not fully developed. But the environment is still pleasant. Unfortunately the big gripe and what really lowers the star rating here is the lack of maintenance, especially around the pool. Rotten wooden decking, literally splitting underfoot, is everywhere. Bolts sit above many sections of the decking; not nice to step on! One section has been worked on, replacing an area between the pool and restaurant with plastic decking. It’s a start, but one plank has been cut too long and bows up about 25mm, creating a major trip hazard. I raised this with the staff who said they were working on it and have already started by replacing the wood around the Sunset restaurant (which, as such, remained closed while we were there). Great; prioritising the chargeable a la carte facility rather that the vastly more used and hazardous pool area! That tells its own tale…. There were dodgy planks along the walkway to the water villas too. The a la carte Manta restaurant was lovely; we had a very good meal, served by the wonderful Winta (from Bali). This one meal was included in our all inclusive package, but was set, not a la carte, so again not really the 5* experience we expected. We discovered that other guests had the opportunity to eat, daily, for lunch or dinner, at Manta, and a la carte as well as part of their all inclusive package. They also enjoyed daily wine in the mini bar in the villa. We did not. So, rather confusing, despite being on the “Brennia Premium package” our all inclusive experience was actually far from all inclusive after all. Even more confusing is that even on the Brennia website there is no mention of “alternative” all inclusive options. Evidently “Premium “ means something very much less in this resort. Lots of minor niggles which, although did not ruin, certainly took the gloss of what we expected to be a truly wonderful holiday. All things taken into consideration and, comparing with other 5* hotel stays elsewhere in the world, this sits between a 3 and (at a push) 4* rating for us. I do believe that if the hotel can sort out these issues, especially the poor maintenance and service in and around the pool area, it may just warrant a 5* review but, alas for this experience, it fell some way short.

Island-hotel who can provide a good service, a nice island, nice beaches, a large offer of room/villa, many activities are proposed for the customers, 3 different restaurant and each day an event at the main lounge lobby. All the travel across the island can be done using a buggy with driver, by simply calling the reception. I recommend : - To book at the Island SPA, as the experience need to be tested. - Do all the excursions proposed by the hotel (snorkeling, sunset, dolphin...) - Enjoy all around island beaches I would like to specifically congratulate : - Rana and Ronnie for their service at the main restaurant - Sandeep, Nishad and Kanhaiya, for their hospitality during the meal service. - And finally, a special thought to Lahiru who is an employee responsible for the maintenance/cleaning of the villas, and whose level of work and service for clients exceeds their requirements. The attention given was such that the needs of customers were met before we even made the request, whether in need of equipment for the villa, restocking of the personal bar or for any other needs. Good to know : The management team stay aware about customer needs, and they organize a cocktail party each sunday evening on the beach to meet the customer and exchange about the hotel and which review they have on it. In few words, if you wanna travel and discover the beauty of the Maldives, think "brennia" ;-)

No nos defraudó en nada. Todo era como esperábamos con el extra de encontrarnos un personal tremendamente agradable. No le falta nada. Las habitaciones nuevas confortables muy limpias. El baño amplio luminoso con ducha abierta. La salida al mar direct con arene enfrente y las tmbonas preparadas

Отличный отдых на Мальдивах. Отдыхали в отеле Брения Коттефару. Впечатления от поездки зашкаливают. По прилету в Мали ждали гидросамолет в уютном помещении с кондиционером, бесплатным кофе, разными плюшками. Впечатления начались с момента перелета на остров. Пилоты-виртуозы своего дела! Забегая вперед: улетали мы с острова в сильный ветер и дождь. Наши пилоты мастерски подняли самолет в воздух, один из них на крыле выполнял какие-то манипуляции, связанные со взлетом-глядя на него дух захватывало. Когда прибыли на остров (несмотря на то, что остров новый, зелени достаточно, видно, что подсаживают новые пальмы, другие растения), нас встретили на причале, чемоданы отправили в номер, нам предложили напитки, влажные полотенца, после регистрации на автомобильчике провезли по острову, показали где что находится и отвезли в номер. Номер у нас был удобный, 406, расположен в красивом ухоженном саду, рядом с рестораном, рецепцией, баром, пляжем. Все новенькое, чистое, отдельное спасибо Крису, убиравшему у нас в номере. Он очень старался, приходил дважды в день, перестилал, менял постель, полотенца, выкладывал цветы. (кровать кстати, была белоснежная), в общем, старался сделать все, чтобы нам было приятно и комфортно отдыхать. Белый песок (не греется) и океан потрясающий! водичка теплая, чистая! На острове несколько пляжей. Самая прозрачная вода немыслимого цвета была на пляже у вилл на воде, там риф, заходить в воду нужно в кораллках. Вода цвета – не описать словами, плавали вместе с рыбками. Мы отдыхали не в сезон, людей было немного, было чувство, что этот остров только для нас. На пляже удобные шезлонги с матрасами, зонтики, в бассейне не купались, но видели, как их тщательно очищают вечером. Бассейн с красивой подсветкой. Там руководит очень приятный дядечка. В стоимость были включены две экскурсии: снорлинг и закат. Ездили на закат – очень красиво! получились отличные фото. Каждый вечер в баре проходили какие-то мероприятия, дискотеки. Очень трогательно приветствовали в один из вечеров представителя по руководству отелем с днем ​​рождения, устроили праздник и туристам и команде отеля. На главном баре разнообразие напитков, есть кокос, а также на острове еще есть бары, два дополнительных ресторана, есть теннисный корт, спортзал, спа, и т. д., на воде банан, скутеры, снорлинг, дайвинг, рыбалка. Риф не живой,но возят недалеко полюбоваться подводным царством. Мы отдыхали по системе "все включено". Кухня хорошая, всегда все свежее, еды много разной, рыба, говядина, курица, салаты вкусные готовили на обед, завтраки европейские: яйца, красная рыбка, натуральный кофе, много всего, мороженое, выпечка, муссы всевозможные, фрукты. Как по мне, то мало морепродуктов, хотя готовили шашлычки с креветками. Были тематические вечера на кухне. Большое спасибо ребятам, обслуживающим в ресторане, очень внимательные, быстро готовые принести вино, кофе и т. д. Кушали за столиком с великолепным видом на океан. Команда отеля отличная! Везде: на пляже, в баре, ресторане все очень дружелюбны, стараются во всем помочь (много путешествуем, есть с чем сравнивать). Отдельное спасибо Миле. Очень приятно было встретить землячку так далеко от дома. Благодаря ей наше пребывание было более комфортным, она давала нам полезные советы, рассказывала об отеле, острове. На острове отличный интернет. Нам очень повезло с погодой, дождей не было, а вот в последний день Мальдивы провожали нас дождем. Отдыхом остались довольны, уезжать не хотелось, так было хорошо! Спасибо всем! Брения! Процветания тебе! Всем очень рекомендуем! Если представится такая возможность, приедем еще! Дата пребывания: август 2023 года.

This is the 2nd visit for us to Maldive. Stayed for 5d4n. Slightly disappointed. It was good but NOT GREAT. Staff 100% fantastic! Food not much variety within 10 choices and water is not included for dinner at all and it also max 2 bottle mineral water each day in the room.. you need to buy for it. It doesn’t make sense as water is essential for every human being. No activity board plan given for each day. Perhaps they should prepare an activity plan such as cinema night / fire night / karaoke night by hiring a bar bands / create more fun environment. Unfortunately this is all not happening unlike other resort/island. Some water sport is free but due to weather everything can’t do.

Начну с того, что это был наш первый отдых на Мальдивах и впечатления мы были готовы ловить буквально от всего! Начало отдыха- это еще перелёт на остров на гидросамолёте) - просто вау! Моя мечта видеть эти прекрасные острова с небольшой высоты. Ждали самолет мин 15 в комфортном зале с кондиционером, где можно перекусить, попить чай, кофе и т.д. Прекрасно взлетели и мягко сели. Трансфер предоставляет отель. По прилёту нас встретила команда Бреннии во главе с русскоговорящим гидом Милой. Угостили напитками, дали освежиться влажными полотенцами, багаж, естественно, перевезли) Дальше наши приятности продолжились! Мы ездили с семьёй 4 человека и бронировали две пляжные виллы для нас с мужем и отдельно детей 15 и 11 лет. И вот по пути к ресепшену, Мила нам любезно сообщила, что отель сделал для нас бесплатный апгрейд и нам предоставят две рядом расположенные виллы с бассейнами! Мы, конечно, особенно дети, были в восторге! Далее Мила нас повезла по острову, все показала- рассказала и довезла до вилл, которые, собственно располагались прямо почти у главного ресторана 104 и 105. Номера отличные! Все новенькое, чистое. С веранды, где бассейн выход через красивый садик прямо на пляж! Океан, конечно, это то, ради чего мы и ехали) он потрясающий! Теплый, чистый. На пляже создаётся полное ощущение, что мы здесь одни! Возле каждой виллы на пляже по два шезлонга с зонтами. Кормили отлично. Было все и мясо всё, кроме свинины, и рыба. Морепродукты давали в один из дней- щупальца крабов, креветки, кальмары. Завтраки европейские- яйца всех видов, блинчики/ вафли с шоколадной пастой Нутелла ( что моей дочери было очень важно 😅), фрукты, натуральный кофе, слабосолёная форель… вообщем голодными мы точно не были) В день рождения мужа украсили номер, подавали на ужин праздничный мини-тортик! Хочу выразить огромную признательность отелю, за то, что включили на большом экране, в баре после ужина, мой подготовленный подарок- видеоролик с песней) так душевно получилось 🙏🏻 В стоимость включены были две экскурсии - снорклинг с мантами и прогулка на катере со снорклингом . Мы ездили на мант, но к сожалению не увидели. Хотя персонал, предварительно плавает- если находят- везут, но нам не повезло, они уплыли. Мы сами с берега одевали маски и плавали смотреть рыб, но до живого рифа не доплывали. Туристы, с кем познакомились, живущие на водных виллах, говорили, что там видели больше разнообразия подводного мира. Хотелось бы предупредить, тех, кто будет плавать напротив спортбара, что там было течение. И мы, спасибо мужу, еле выплыли, было страшно, конечно. Вообщем отдых был изумительный! 10 из 5 баллов! Спасибо Бренния и спасибо Мила за огромную массу впечатлений!🙏🏻

Оооох, это был лучший отдых. Это были наши первые Мальдивы и любовь случалась с первой минуты. Начнём, отель, это относительно новый отель, но стоит отметить зелени очень много. Строятся новые виллы на воде. Комфортные и стильные номера. У нас была вилла на песке с бассейном. Идеальная чистота в номере. Очень удобный трансфер, нас встретили в аэропорту Мале, отвезти в зал ожидания, там очень комфортно было ожидать наш гидросамолет, можно перекусить и выпить. На гидросамолете, что-то около 35 минут. Еда—мы приехали по системе все включено, завтраки, обеды, ужины, все было вкусно и разнообразно, плюс каждый вечер была новая тема еды (Seafood, Italian, Asian, BBQ, Mediterranean, Maldivian, Tex Mex!) Коктейли, на главном баре огромный выбор напитков, на шестой день мы пошли по списку меню✌🏻 Также есть еще бары по острову, но там выбор чуть проще, различные газировки, пиво, вино!) Но а если вам наскучил шведский стол, то на острове есть два дополнительных ресторана, куда вы также можете сходить уже по меню, но мы так и не успели дойти до них) Чем заняться на острове, в Коттефару есть корт теннисный, всякие плюшки типа дартса, настольного тенниса/футбола, бильярд, спорт зал. Также есть всякие штуки на воде, лодки, гидроциклы, сапы, байдарки, какие-то велики наводные. Снорклинг, дайвинг, спа🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼, рыбалка. На закат с судна тоже стоит выбраться! Идеальный песок и вода как с картинки. Риф там не очень живой, но мы видели кучу различных рыб и водной живности, маленьких акул, наши соседи видели скатов и черепах!) На острове очень много летучих лисиц!) Персонал, это такие потрясные люди, английский, конечно, в приоритете, но объясниться вы однозначно сможете, так как персонал очень хочет вас понять!) На ресепшене, также есть русская, украинская речь!) география приличная! Мы решили второй раз обязательно вернуться на этот остров, а там посмотрим!) Рекомендуем отель, однозначно!!! Спасибо, Brennia Kottefaru🫶🏼

Nous avons réservé cet hôtel un peu par hasard et sommes ravis de notre choix! Tout d’abord le cadre, idyllique, l’accueil pose le ton des vacances sans souci. Tout est prêt dès qu’on pose un pied sur l’île! Le temps du checkin et les bagages sont déjà arrivés dans la chambre, parfait pour profiter des vacances dès le départ. La chambre sur pilotis garantit un effet waouh, étoiles dans les yeux garantis! Les buffets sont variés, changent tous les jours et permettent de satisfaire toutes les papilles! Aucune fausse note de ce côté. Il faut se rappeler que l’hôtel est sur une île isolée dépendante des livraisons qui peuvent varier d’un jour à l’autre. Malgré cette contrainte, les fruits frais n’ont manqué à l’appel qu’un seul jour en 3 semaines, un véritable exploit pour un si petit caillou au milieu de l’océan. Le personnel du restaurant et du bar sont juste exceptionnels, ils se mettent en 4 pour satisfaire vos envies et anticipent celles-ci! Un immense merci à eux! Le personnel s’occupant des chambres est lui aussi adorable et met tout en œuvre pour que votre chambre soit parfaite à tout instant de la journée! Les plages sont propres et nettoyées tous les jours, prévoir tout de même des petits chaussons pour certaines plages ou les coraux sont plus présents, notamment au bas des maisons sur pilotis. Nous avons fait une excursion en famille ou nous avons combiné rencontre avec les dauphins, les raies manta, la pêche, magique! Petite frustration tout de même sur l’animation sportive et autours de l’apéro qui fait défaut. Idem pour le water sport, impossible de faire de la voile, du Kite ou de la planche, un seul catamaran, une seule planche et un seul Kite, tous cassés durant nos 3 semaines passées sur l’ile. Dommage et frustrant face au terrain de jeux offert par cette petite île! Il nous paraît aussi important de souligner les projets « durables » initiés par l’hôtel, celui-ci a pour ambition d’être autonome en eau potable d’ici peu. Les eaux sanitaires sont déjà produites sur l’île et réutilisées pour arroser les plantes! Un compost est mis en place et un potager est au programme. Enfin, l’île se dote de panneaux solaires avec pour ambition d’être autonomes en électricité cette année! Nous apprécions et encouragerons ces initiatives indispensables pour une telle île!
