A magical and memorable holiday
Pros: Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa stands as the epitome of opulence and tranquility. My recent stay at this deluxe all-inclusive resort was nothing short of a dream, and every aspect of the experience surpassed my highest expectations. From the moment I stepped onto the pristine shores of the private island, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of unparalleled beauty. The overwater bungalows, perched elegantly above the crystal-clear turquoise waters, offered breathtaking views of the surrounding coral reefs and marine life. The attention to detail in the architecture and design truly reflected the natural splendor of the Maldives. The Delux all-inclusive package is a game-changer, ensuring a worry-free and indulgent stay. The culinary experience together with the friendly sommeliers expertise surpassed any other I've encountered in my travels. With a variety of world-class restaurants offering diverse cuisines, each meal was a gastronomic delight. Whether indulging in fresh seafood at the overwater fine-dining restaurant or savoring international flavors at the buffet, every dish was a masterpiece. The service is where the staff truly shines. The resort's team members are not only attentive but also genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest feels like royalty. From the moment I arrived until my departure, the staff went above and beyond to cater to my every need, creating a personalized and memorable experience. The resort's spa, a haven of serenity, offered a range of rejuvenating treatments inspired by traditional Maldivian rituals. The skilled therapists and the soothing ambiance made it an essential part of my stay, providing the perfect escape from reality. While the luxurious amenities and world-class service are undeniably impressive, it's the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff that make the resort a true gem. Every interaction felt like a moment shared with friends, creating a sense of community among guests.

A brilliant and memorable stay!
Pros: The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. The house reef is beautiful with lots of small and large fishes. You can see the fishes while lounging at the pool. Highly recommend the sunset villas as they offer more privacy. We has a private dinner at the jetty which was amazing! The staff went all out to decorate the place and made it a truly memorable experience. Will definitely be back again!!
Cons: It was a bit far from Male. Sea plane ride was 45 mins to an hour depending on how many stops it has to make.

Best vacation ever!
Pros: The check in process was quick and easy. My host Nebeel greeted me when the sea place landed, and took me on a tour of the property in their buggy,s (golf cart) Nebeel explained how everything worked and had even booked reservations for me for lunch and dinner each day. The customer service is the best i have ever seen in 40 years of traveling. almost all the villas, over water or on the beach have private pools which is a big plus if you want to take a quick dip. Great food, out standing customer service, sunshine and warm waters made this a top vacation of my life time! 10 of 10
Cons: i liked everything about the Emerald Faarufushi resort and spa. and am planning to come back again next year.

PERFECT TEAM OF RESORT STAFF THAT UPLIFTED THE BRAND.
Pros: I loved everything, right down to every small details. Nothing that i can think of that spoilt 1% of my experience. Nana handled our stay and she was super charming, helpful and really just perfect. Every single resort crew was exceptional. Cheers to the team handling our non stop drinks order at the pool bar and introduced us to our first time shisha and cigar experience. They were very patient, and always cheerful even when it was our 10th glass of cocktail, whiskey, wine etc... Exceptional crew that made the resort glow.

Liked everything. No compliants. Thanks a lot to the hosting team!!!
Pros: We liked absolutely everything. Starting from the airport, where Resort's person met us and organized transfer to the local terminal of TMA, and ending with the departure process. Very much happy with our villa host/manager - Nabeel, who is top excellent person for hosting guests and taking care about comfort and convenience, very nice, polite, attentive, smart. Special HUGE and HOT thanks to Mr. Moreno and all his colleagues - Fernando, Mirasol and other team members. We spent wonderful time with them. Our warmest compliments and big thanks to Ms. Tamilla and Ms. Marjona, who's hospitality and general kindness were just wonderful. All members from the restaurants service teams were great, very attentive and super well trained. Per our opinion - the best waiters were Djamshed, Ahmed (Zidan) and a lovely young man in the Pool Bar. For the whole team we definitely thank Mr. Patrick, Mr. Rajeshwar and HR manager. Great job, perfect personnel training!!! Special thanks and warmest regards to Vlad and Aya from the Diving center, to Yusuf, to his brother in law and of course to the tennis trainer - Mr. Karthick. Sea boats crew while going to fishing and dolphin excursions were also great. Top professionals. Thank you. There was no one who could be outstanding from the excellent team working at the Resort.
Cons: The only improvement is suggested for the massage quality in the SPA. The team there is very nice, very warm and hospitable. But looked like were not ready to meet very professional massage demands. Can be certainly resolved and improved easily during short time.

A Week in Paradise
Pros: Our week-long stay at the resort was a great experience. From the moment we arrived, we were transported into a world of natural beauty and wonderful service. The resort's setting is beautiful with pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a vibrant coral reef just a swim away. Our family beach villa was elegant, spacious and comfortable. The culinary experience at the hotel restaurants was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Chef Moreno and his team. The variety and quality of dining options are outstanding. The Italian buffet night was particularly memorable. What truly sets Emerald Faarufushi apart, however, is its exceptional staff. Their commitment to guest satisfaction is evident in every interaction. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Kunal (our impeccable concierge). Ammy, Sachin, Priyanka, Virendra, Shinaaz, Fazan, Latheef and Aiman in the restaurants. Also Taz, Ayah and Vlad at the wonderful dive center, and Drasko who was a great tennis coach. My apologies for anyone I may have inadvertently missed in my thanks. Your contributions greatly enhanced our experience. We can't wait to return!

A place where you can experience a dreamlike honeymoon.
Pros: We stayed first in the beach villa then in the water villas. Both were fascinating, dream like views, quiet, super clean, with perfect amenities (minibar, towels, bicycles, bathtub, outdoor seating area, pools, hygiene products etc.). Reef is beautiful you can enjoy it by snorkelling. The staff were outstanding. All of them provided constant support throughout our stay and made us feel very comfortable in a way we get the most out of our honeymoon. Thanks to manager Rao for creating such a service quality. Special thanks to our villa host Elite who is extremely responsive and friendly. Resort has excellent restaurants (aqua, carnivorous, mediterraneo, teppenyaki, asiatique) where you experience tastes from around the world coupled with a wide range of wine selection, for these special thanks to executive chef Moreno and head somelier Joseph. Also special thanks to other notable people who made our stay even more memorable; Krushna (special local dishes), Sundar (hospitality and excellent cocktails), Ajith (bartender class and excellent cocktails). Checkin and checkout including the transfer from Male to Faarusuhi and back were really smooth. Resort personnel took us right after our arrival to Male and made us stay in a perfect lounge for a couple of hours then took us to the island. There are super tennis and padel courts right next to the sea, tennis coach was also very helpful. Emerald spa was perfect, the facilities and the service quality is excellent. We also very much enjoyed the live music in the evenings, thanks to cacao sweet band. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Our honeymoon experience at Emerald Faarufuski was truly elevated by the exceptional service provided by our villa host, Kunal Varoo. Kunal went above and beyond to curate a gastronomic journey for us, ensuring we savored the best culinary delights the island had to offer. His meticulous attention to detail extended beyond dining, as he seamlessly coordinated our access to the resort's medical services when we fell ill. Kunal's genuine care for our well-being was evident through his periodic check-ins, demonstrating a remarkable ability to empathize and anticipate our needs. It was as if he placed himself in our shoes, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was not just comfortable but truly memorable. Kunal Varoo's dedication to guest satisfaction sets a standard of hospitality that transformed honeymoon into an unforgettable experience.

Отдыхали на этом курорте с 26.11.2023 по 03.12.2023. Отель сменил хозяев и претерпел серьезную реновацию. Отлично организован трансфер из Мале на остров. В ожидании гидросамолета размещают в vip лаундже с доступом к WiFi, приличным набором закусок и напитков. Там же оформляют регистрацию в отель, что экономит время по прибытию на остров. Мы бронировали виллу на пляже с бассейном. Состояние виллы идеальное, как и концепция. К минусам можно отнести только отсутствие доступа к you tube и жесткие подушки. Размещение виллы ( 203) в целом не плохое, если не считать близость причала для гидросамолетов с сопутствующим шумом моторов запахом отработанного топлива. All inclusive очень достойный и честный. Вам не придется доплачивать ни за что, за исключением экскурсий( хотя есть и бесплатные), премиального алкоголя и премиальных блюд( лобстер, устрицы и пр.) Прекрасный выбор в в основном ресторане, но кроме него есть еще четыре a la card. Бронирование ресторанов можно сделать в приложении отеля либо через Батлера. У нас был Роман, который успешно решал вопросы. Вполне приличный домашний риф, не так много живых кораллов, но много живности. Я снял фильм о морской жизни на домашнем рифе и он доступен в you tube ( New Snorkelling at house reef Emerald Faarufushi https://youtu.be/MrTTdrKLEuA).

We have been here for 7 nights spending 4 nights at water pool villa and 3 nights at beach pool villa. Everything here is fantastic. The sea, the beach, the view, the food, … It really makes us a wonderful honeymoon here. Every resort has their own specities. Emerald Faarufushi includes natural scenery and also keep original Maldive’s architecture for villa. The view is absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere is easy and relax. People on this island are really kind and professional. The restaurants are also impressed. Every dishes are special and my finicky husband was extremely satisfied with that. Our butler, Ms. Ting who brought us an unforgettable vacation. She gave a lot of help to us and we really appreciated about that. All the wine stewards, especially Joseph, are friendly and they recommended different kinds of wine by considering the meal we ordered. We have met Beyonca 3 times during our time here. She always keeps big smile and caring our feelings for food. The massagist/aromatherapists, Surya and Sintya are really reliable, passionate and professional. We had a great time with the emerald signature and Indian head massages! I am a vegetarian and the food here is really friendly for both vegan and vegetarian. Thank you all !

We had the most amazing honeymoon at the resort. The service is above and beyond. We had our own villa host, Elite, who made all the restaurant and spa (etc activities included in the honeymoon package) bookings for us and he made sure that we were able to try all the different restaurants. He was amazing, he made our honeymoon relaxing and care free and we were able to concentrate solely on enjoying. Also the someliers at the resort were very professional and we had great wine suggestion especially from Joseph. All the staff members were extremely polite and helpful. Last but not least, we stayed at two different resorts during our honeymoon in Maldives and Emerald Faarufushi had the most amazing corals around the island. We saw a turtle right next to deck where the coral starts and the amount of fish and colours of the coral was even better than at the Great barrier reef. I highly recommend this resort for any kind of vacation but especially for honeymoon.

Initially had a slight hiccup at the resort but thought that Rao and team did a proper handling of the situation. So far the experience at the resort was truly pleasant. The crystal-clear waters, coral reefs and schools of fish created a mesmerizing underwater paradise. The staff and butlers were exceptionally friendly, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Food wise, there are lots of cuisine and restaurants to choose from. Highly recommend for a perfect getaway.

Truly Premium this all-inclusive experience. Everything is better than advertised and there is non cutting corners: food, drinks and wine have highest quality, free quantity and ample availability. So besides actually enjoying the food, the drinks, the sites, the view and the very good service, one is cradled in the good feeling of not being fooled by the offer of "Premium All Inclusive" but actually receiving a good deal of quality out of it. So YEAH!! Great product, great deal, good value for money.

My wife and I visited Emerald Faarufushi for our honeymoon and we are SO happy we chose this magical 5-star resort. Choosing between the plethora of resorts in the Maldives was challenging and I am happy to say our already high expectations were exceeded during our stay. There are so many positive things to say. Our sunset water villa with pool was modern, private and had a stunning view across the ocean that blended seemlessly with our infinity pool. The house reef was excellent and easily accessible from our villa or from the jetty to make access to the outer reef more comfortable. This was a big draw for us, as we could snorkel without needing to go on a paid trip. We were able to see hundreds of fish, as well as sharks and eagle rays, straight from the beach. We also went on a Manta ray trip during our stay where we saw 7 mantas and 6 turtles on a once in a lifetime trip. The food and staff service were also excellent. There is a great variety of food and drinks options, which we made full use of through our All Inclusive package. As we were on our honeymoon, we were also given a Honeymoon package, which had some lovely inclusions such as a super relaxing massage. Our standout staff member was Kunal, who responded to any requests, big or small, quickly and efficiently. He made us feel special throughout our stay and truly made our experience feel 5-star. Other notable staff were the sommeliers Kim and Vishal, who were both friendly and knowledgeable, making our wine-drinking experience memorable throughout. This is a beautiful island, with excellent service and we would highly recommend it to anyone trying to find the perfect Maldives resort stay.

Everything was impeccable and excellent. From the moment we decide to go to the Maldives it became a fantastic journey. The reservation team that took care of my enquirers already made me feel the beauty of going soon on holidays(Specially thank you to Mrs. Roberta for her patience and kindness). When we arrived our elite Nana was there waiting for us. Let me tell you Nana was AMAZING ! Prepared and I don’t know how she knew already what to plan for us that we were only thinking of planing. She’s always discreet but at the same time on the spot ! The Restaurants are varied. Teppanyaki show is really fun and the cook interacts with the guests which is great. Mediterraneo restaurant was our favorite of all but trust me when I say they are really all super thanks to the great ability of the head chef of all the restaurants Chef Moreno. His cooking and his ability to keep the standards of the restaurants so high are impeccable and impressive. We had a romantic Dinner at the deck that I would absolutely recommend! Really romantic! And the view if you arrive earlier is beautiful with the sunset ! For the wine ask the Somelier Joseph( he always chooses the best wines that go perfectly with your dinner!super prepared!!). We had a couple massage which was so relaxing and nice to start the day with. I even bought the coconut royal oil and the aloe Vera with cucumber that I found really good products. Even if there is a rich breakfast every morning at Aqua, its really nice to start the day with the floating breakfast in the private pool of your villa looking the sea with your loved one. We went for some excursions and let me tell you that those are really a must do. The diving team is really great and patience. We went for the turtle snorkeling where we saw 8 turtles, loads of fishes and a puffer fish.As well snorkeling in two sites was really good there we saw some eagle rays, tuna and a shark, simply FANTASTIC. Last excursion that we had was the picnic at the sandbank. THAT FELT REALLY LIKE PARADISE !!! Overall, the resort is one of the best resorts I ever been to and absolutely for sure we will go back soon ! You can tell that the Resort has an owner which is present this it what it gives it a bigger push to be this fantastic.lastly, compliments to all the team that makes you feel the magic and feels you up with experience and positive energy!

'Incredible' is the one word description of our holiday. The next bit is going to be much more long winded. We have been fortunate enough to visit the Maldives on many occasions as my parents started visiting in the mid 1980s and never stopped coming. Our kids now also see it as heaven on earth and so we try and come every few years. Each year we try a different resort which means I have spent many many hours researching islands .. so this review will cover all the things that I would have liked to have found during that research. We are a family of 5 with three adult children of 23, 21 and 18. First I need to acknowledge the incredible staff that make up the character of Faarufushi... every single person you meet is invested in you having a brilliant stay and not just because they are told to... you can feel it in the soul of the place. I apologise to those I leave out but in no particular order, special mentions to Kunal, our house butler, who responded quickly to our every need, making sure we got to eat in all the restaurants, booked trips, moved trips, and generally fixed any problem we had. To Moreno, the head chef who is so clearly passionate about his craft and ensuring all the restaurants serve the most remarkable food - we had a fun gnocchi making class as well as being fed his delicious off menu lobster risotto on our last evening. Fernando in Aqua who cooked us a whole fish lunch one day... we hadn't asked but he wanted to do something special for us.. delicious. Pryanka alongside many others who looked after us so wonderfully at meal times always with a big smile. The team at Mediterraneo and the Beach Club became used to the multiple dishes our rugby playing sons would order once they realised there was no limit on the number of courses they could have... the record was 3 starters and two main courses each... and that is not a reflection on the portion size... they were plenty large enough! Gary - whose Teppanyaki display was hilarious and the food outstanding. Aji (apologies for the spelling) who runs the Eclipse Bar.. the most stunning place for evening drinks. As soon as Aji heard our youngest was off to Sydney with a bar job he made sure he gave him some cocktail making lessons... Aji provides the most delicious cocktails and was keen to share his passion. Try the Gilli Faru .. utterly moreish! To all the pool bar staff who provided dozens of iced lattes, coffees, Kiwi Coolers and chocolate milkshakes over the week ..always with a smile and a chat. The dive centre team who took us on a stunning sunset fishing trip (sadly no sunset, nor fish for our family anyway but a fab evening).. and then we had the most remarkable trip swimming with manta rays..about 20 .. just swimming around us whilst feeding... something unlikely to ever be experienced again and for which we are immensely grateful. So how does it all compare to Vilamendhoo, Reethi Beach, Reeth Faru, Ayada....and a few more... Snorkelling/House Reef - a very important part of our holiday and I couldn't really find much information on this before we booked. Any snorkelling in the Maldives if it is your first time is memorable but it was hard to find out how the Faarufushi reef compared to some of the others we had been to. It was probably the best and that is not to denigrate Reethi Faru and Ayada which had some great snorkelling too. The reef is best accessed at the end of the Eclipse/Mediterraneo jetty although at higher tide you can swim out from the beach. Most of the time there was no current and on a few trips a small one so very safe and the resort have anchored life rings at intervals so you never feel far from support. The best snorkelling that we experienced (go left at the jetty end away from the water villas) does not cover a massive area and we mainly snorkelled just this stretch but the variety and volume of fish was out of this world at times and we saw pretty much everything apart from a whale shark!... Eagle rays on three occasions, turtles twice, reef shark a few times, moray eels, clown triggerfish, titan triggerfish, anemone fish, trumpet fish, banner fish, clouds of angel fish and other varieties.. Picasso triggerfish in the shallower parts, a lionfish, pufferfish, box fish, powder blue surgeon fish, an octopus...etc etc etc... Sunset Pool - stunning location and a beautifully long pool surrounded by loungers and day beds... hard pushed to beat it. Rooms - we had two Beach Villas with Pool ..really spacious, very comfortable with stunning bathrooms, large outside day bed plus beach loungers and a beautiful infinity pool..hard pushed to do much better All Inclusive - it really is a comprehensive offer..fully branded spirits, mini bars with crisps, chocolate, nuts, haribos, beers, wine etc and for our family as much food as they could possibly eat... I mentioned this earlier but every meal involved multiple meals.. and even in places like Mediterraneo serving Michelin quality food they didn't bat an eyelid if the boys ordered three starters each. Snorkelling kit all included as well. Bikes - at first I thought we wouldn't use them as the island is very small but actually it was good fun cycling around and helped getting down the long jetties when we wanted a quick snorkel or nip to the Eclipse bar for a sunset downer. Padel Tennis - a great new family activity for us and you can have a free lesson if you haven't played before. Padel is great leveller - our group consisted of good and not so good tennis players but on a Padel court it evened it all out and we had some fun few hours out there. Food - the reviews don't lie ...its the best food by far we have had in the Maldives and its not fair to qualify it with that as its close to some of the best food we have ever had. It is clear form the food and talking with Moreno that money is invested in quality ingredients Aqua Breakfast - nothing particularly unusual or different as fairly usual buffet style breakfast but everything is very high quality...fab fresh fruit station, delicious bircher muesli. chia seed pots, my sons had outstanding omelettes, eggs on toast, pancakes, waffles .. every day.. even just toast and marmalade was scrumptious The Beach Club Lunch - beautiful spot with an a la carte menu which they would happily adapt.. definitely recommend the Watermelon Gazpacho .. unusual but you'd be happy having it at a London 5 star restaurant. Chicken satay and the Wagyu burgers were particularly outstanding but everything delicious. Aqua Lunch - buffet lunch with lots of delicious choices.. sushi, sashimi, salads, hot dishes and always fresh tuna and chicken to be grilled Pool Bar Snacks - mini Wagyu burgers kept the boys going in between meals on a number of occasions Teppanyaki Grill - whilst the food is delicious this one is about the theatre of it... a very entertaining hour in the most stunning location overlooking the lagoon. We did book twice as we love tepannayaki not realising it wasn't just about the food, so if you can only go once, don't stress that is enough as you have the experience Asiatique - we went our first night and the quality of the food was so high we were incredibly excited for the rest of our stay!.. the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten. It is indoors unlike all the others but really recommend it. Carnivorous - its the same place as the Beach Club and in the evening the tables are on the beach which was beautiful. Possibly least favourite if I was forced to pick one...starters nothing to talk about but the main courses were as per all our other meals, outstanding. Wagyu brisket was so tender and tasty alongside some giant grilled prawns! Mediterraneo - best til last.. location out on the end of a jetty over the sea is stunning, and the food was 5 star dining at its best... beautifully presented, delicate flavours from top quality ingredients. With some outstanding wines to go alongside (all part of the AI). Manta Ray Snorkelling trip - we were possibly very lucky and its not a cheap experience but if you happen to find them it is the memory of a lifetime. The two guys who took us were so invested in it for us. Torah came in the water with us and took the video footage... he was just as excited as we were when a manta ray swam over above his head. Sorry this is so long but a holiday to the Maldives is not cheap and I decided to provide all the information I would be looking for when doing my research. It can't all be so perfect would now be my thinking whilst reading this... it really is but if I had to put one thing down that might bother some people it would be that there are quite a few groynes around the island protecting it from erosion but really don't let that put you off. An outstanding 10 days. The Emerald team really have it nailed... its an amazing island but what makes it is the shared commitment by all of the staff to creating an incredible place to visit. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Fantastic experience and highly recommended resort. As soon as we landed in Malé we were greeted by Emerald staff waiting for us and were guided to the lounge while waiting for our flight to the island, all of course included and handled to perfection by Emerald. As soon as we landed by seaplane we were greeted by the staff who immediately provided us with cool drinks and a space to relax while waiting for our room. Our villa manager, Kunal, immediately introduced himself and left us his contact information and throughout our vacation he was always helpful and quick to handle any of our requests. The water villa sunset view left us speechless, spacious, spotlessly clean, and with a unique view. Another very positive note for Emerald's restaurants, there are several on the island and all very good. The staff is always smiling and helpful and they never miss an opportunity to make sure everything is going well. The services are also fantastic, we had several spa treatments and the excursions/experiences offered, we recommend them all ! During our stay we also got to take advantage of the gym, Padel court and beach volleyball. Overall we are very satisfied with the vacation and absolutely recommend Emerald to everyone !!!

After having amazing holidays at Emerald Maldives on two previous occasions, we decided to visit Emerald Faarufushi and we were not disappointed. One of the main reasons for this decision was Rao (Rooms Division Manager), who had always looked after us so well at Emerald Maldives. We were so pleased to have Rao greeting us on arrival and we immediately felt relaxed and as if we had returned home. We travelled with our 1 year old child and we were immediately informed that food could be prepared for her at any time upon request. We were quickly introduced to Elite, our butler for the duration of our stay. Elite was incredible and nothing was ever too much trouble. Elite took us around the island in a buggy and showed us all the amazing restaurants (including Meditteraneo, the signature restaurant out in the water). Elite was contactable at all times and tried to do everything he could to make our stay as amazing as possible. On our first night, we ate at the Carnivorous restaurant, where we met chef Kelum. From that point on, Kelum provided us with the most incredible dishes in different restaurants throughout our stay. He made bespoke meals for us and for our daughter and played a big part in our holiday. In addition, Head Chef Moreno and the rest of his team were excellent and prepared some exceptional food, in particular, all the fresh pasta. All the food was of extreme high quality and is prepared fresh on a daily basis. Sudarshana also made brilliant teppanyaki for us! The other main reason for our stay in Faarufushi was the Head Sommelier, Joseph. Like Rao, we knew Joseph well from previous visits to Emerald Maldives. Joseph has put together an amazing and extensive wine list and he and his team (Bonna and Vishal) would pair great wines with our food at all the different restaurants. Joseph and Bonna also do a weekly wine tasting on the beach, which is a great experience whilst watching the sunset. The main pool and bar are situated on the beach front and has a peaceful atmosphere. Bar staff (led by Ram) were happy to make us bespoke cocktails on a daily basis. The real highlights of Faarufushi are: - the Sunset Eclipse Bar, with amazing cocktails and an uninterrupted view of the sunset); - the Meditteraneo restaurant – serving gourmet food and extremely well presented dishes; - the snorkelling – the reef is incredible and you are able to jump off a jetty and snorkel along the reef line. The lagoon setting also means that you can walk out in to the sea from a water villa, for around 200 metres. We were also able to see dolphins on about 4-5 occasions during our stay, from either the beach or the water villa. Overall, we had an amazing stay on the island and would like to thank all the staff for making it so incredible. Thank you to amazing waiting staff who made sure that our 1 year old daughter was entertained at all time – including Nasaud (Tom), Natcha, Putri, Ammy and Mija. In particular though, to Elite, Kelum, Joseph and finally to Rao, for looking after us so well and providing us with a truly memorable stay.

Locations eccellente, stanza confortevole e molto tranquilla. L’isola e il mare non hanno bisogno di commenti, ovviamente. La compagnia di due simpatici gechi fa parte della coreografia (rispetto ai nostri emettono un ticchettio simpatico; capito che non erano rumori di topo, tutto a posto) Servizio stellare; tutti sono davvero gentili, prontissimi ad aiutare, senza essere mai invadenti. Il “personal assistant” detto anche “Villa Host”(Elite) gentilissimo e super efficiente (risposte nel giro di massimo 3/4 minuti in ogni momento). Provato anche il servizio medico per un piccolo incidente ortopedico: decisamente efficiente e, costante del luogo, molto cortese (tutto compreso nel prezzo, farmaci inclusi); sull’isola c’è una clinica attrezzata e a 15/20 minuti di barca un vero ospedale; meglio non averne bisogno, ma saperlo tranquillizza. Cucina ottima; 5 ristoranti con offerta diversificata. In quello principale ogni serata è a tema diverso. Da non perdere una cena al Teppanyaki, uno show cooking buono e divertente. Moreno NUMEROUNO!! (Moreno è l’executive chef italiano che guida una brigata di 70 professionisti). Sempre presente, attento e gentilissimo, è venuto personalmente al nostro tavolo ad ogni pranzo e e cena per consigliarci e assicurarsi che fossimo felici. Davvero un’attenzione non usuale. Suggerisco di fare una cooking lesson con lui… Tra il personale di servizio ai tavoli, menzione per Pryanka: ci ha fatto sentire meglio che a casa. Offerta vini all inclusive di buon livello (anche in camera champagne a disposizione); per chi vuole esagerare, carta vini a pagamento a livello di ottimi ristoranti milanesi. Bar: due a disposizione; ottima offerta nell’all inclusive, con possibilità di “alzare la barra” con supplemento di spesa. L’aperitivo al tramonto all’Eclipse sulla palafitta vale il viaggio fin qui. SPA di alto livello; trattamenti eseguiti in modo professionale in un ambiente pulito e molto accogliente. Vero relax. Pulizia eccellente. Due passaggi al giorno (come da regola 5 stelle) eseguiti con grande scrupolosità e attenzione al dettaglio; refilling del minibar regolare e puntuale. Minibar: sempre nell’all inclusive, buon assortimento di vino (champagne compreso), bibite, snack. Una Nespresso e un bollitore a disposizione nelle stanze (top). Attività: snorkelling e Gita a vedere i delfini (Delfini imperdibili) eseguiti bene e con personale preparato; forniscono gratis attrezzature di ottima qualità. Non ho provato il diving, ma sembrano molto ben preparati (gestione Alessia e Gabriele, due di lunga esperienza). Plastic Free: in tutto il resort non c’è nulla di plastica, nemmeno lo spazzolino da denti (in legno). Unica eccezione, i dispenser di shampoo e bagno schiuma nelle docce (probabilmente per motivi di sicurezza non sono in vetro). Wi-Fi: perfetto, anche in spiaggia Migliorabile solo il caffè al ristorante; spesso arriva poco caldo… peccato perché è miscela Illy (se si specifica di portarlo molto caldo in tazza calda, la qualità diventa accettabile).

A limpeza e a conservação é constante, em todo tempo vemos pessoas limpando e arrumando pequenas coisas do dia a dia. Mas o diferencial é o serviço!
