I've been to a few resorts in the Maldives, so I based this score taking into consideration the cost we payed for this holiday. There are certainly more luxurious resorts out there and I'm sure you would see a disproportionate rise in cost. We travelled as a group of 4. We love the maldives and our main requirements are great... More

after being to eight different islands, ive finally found my favourite. me and my husband stayed the last two weeks of may and had a fab time. we stayed in room 60 which was in our opinion one of the best for snorkelling as the reef edge was at its closest. the section of beach here too was really good....

Just come back from a weeks holiday here. It was my first time in the maldives and it was definately the best beach holiday i've had. The weather was amazing even though it was May - we had 5 days of sunshine followed by a day of sunny spells. The leaving day started sunny until the tropical storm! This was... More

This is a nice resort in a beautiful island. This was not my first time in the Maldives. The snorkeling was fantastic. The coral reef here is something special and you see more fishes here than in other places. We even saw a hammershark. It's a place where you see quite a lot of people, especially kids and extended families,... More

We arrived at the resort on 18 April, late in the day due to our BA flight being 3 hours late. Our welcome drink was cool and minty (non-alcoholic) and the cold flannels were very welcome in the humidity. [Some comments re filling in forms after long travelling might be made but we didn’t ask]. In a short time we... More

We were lucky to stay at Water Villa #38 and everything was lovely! We could see from day one that Filitheyo service has a great quality, both because of its... More

This was our first trip to this beautiful Island. I have been to the Maldives before but a much smaller resort. For a larger island it was fantastic, not too crowded, amazing house reef, easy access, huts on the beach. We had the beach to ourselves quite a lot of the time. The food was superb and the choice fabulous,... More

The island is well organised and the good thing is that we're not in a factory island.It's all very quiet.... We also enjoyed the SPA... More

Our second time at this resort and stayed in the same water bungalow as last year. As I wrote a review in 2012 there is not much to add. It's still a very pleasant island to stay at good snorkelling and easy access to the reef.. Very good food although yet again on occasions really good roasts spoiled by failure... More
