My wife and I are from Australia and spent one week here, having booked the Water Villa FB+ package. In a nutshell Vakaru was breathtaking and exceeded all our expectations.

“paradise!”

Reviewed May 28, 2013

Picture postcard perfect. We stayed in a water villa which was heavenly. The villa is pretty basic as far as amenities etc are concerned but frankly with the view on offer, the room itself is almost secondary. Food was of a very high standard and a pretty good spread was on offer at every meal. Staff, particularly the local staff... More

We are happy to read that you overall spent a nice time with us and would recommend us highly. On the other side we are sorry to read that you felt the non local staff as not as friendly as all our staff inclusively the Management tries to give all our guests a warm & welcoming feeling and being helpful...

“Island paradise”

We travelled to Vakarufalhi for our honeymoon last August and as I had hoped and assumed, from the other reviews, it really was paradise. It really fulfils your every dream of a 'no shoes' desert island. We had booked into a Water Villa and where blown away by the size and quality of the room, the bathroom with the double... More

“Bad first impression in Maldives”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

This was our first time to visit Maldives. There are 2 must conditions on the trip; 1) staying in a water villa with all inclusive packages and 2) taking seaplane. This resort, Vakarufalhi, seems to perfectly fit to what we wanted as well as very good comments and rating here in tripadvisor, so we decided to choose this hotel rather... More

Dear Guest, we are sorry to read, that our resort has given you a bad impression to the Maldives. It is correct, that upon arrival you have been asked by our Guest Relation Team, if you would accept a downgrade on your last night, as we had unexpected occurrences in the Water Villa category . In return we have offered... More

“Vakarufalhi revisited”

Reviewed March 18, 2013

We have been visiting the Maldives for over 20 years and have sampled many islands. We have been to Vakaru at least 10 times but we have not been able to visit since the island closed for renovation in 2008. We were worried that it might have changed. The character of the island has changed a little with the additional... More

First of all thank you so much for taking the time and effort to give such a detailed comment. We also appreciate your honest view regarding the comparison of Vakaru before and now, as there might be more old Vakaru Travelers, who are afraid to come back to the new Vakaru due to the not known changes. Surely it was... More
