Room on stilts was lovely , really clean and spotless and the room boy was really attentive . Food was fantastic , plenty of variety and choice , excellent ! On my wife's birthday the staff made a real... More

me and my partner travelled here for i week on 6th dec 2011, the flight was long but well worth what was coming. the holiday starts as soon as you land and you wait for your boat to take you to your island, the sea is amazing, bright clear blue with amazing bright coloured fish. the boat trip itself was...

My Fiancee and I stayed here for 2 weeks in January 2012 and had a great time. The speedboat ride from Male was quick and comfortable, so quick in fact that we never quite got that feeling of being on a remote island in the middle of nowhere. On arrival at the resort we were warmly welcomed with cold towels... More

Myself and my partner Andy visited this beautiful Island over the Christmas and new year period......we got back home on the 4th January and 3 weeks later i'm still pining for the place. I must add i'm a 37 year old woman not a teenager lol. Not only were we impressed with the beauty of the island we were also... More

The resort is not a 5*, if it were then the cost would be a lot more than it was, but the service received from the staff, from the cleaners to the bar staff to the waiters to the reception was out of this world. From the moment we walked off the boat we were greeted with a smile, an... More

Just came back from a beautiful vacation. Chaaya Island Dhonveli is a good choice. So let's start from the begining: 1. Transfer: the resort has its own transfer boat which will expect you at the airport when you arrive, and you'll have a nice ride to the hotel. 2. Check-in: at 08:00 am, very smooth and quick, no issues. 3.... More

This was our second time to the Maldives having had the most wonderful two weeks at the Meeru in May 2011, so much is as a comparison. We got a late deal for 2 weeks AI for the both of us at a cost of £3100 - which was a great price, so we weren't expecting the Chaaya to be... More

I've read a lot of comments here on tripadvisor and after I've been at Chaaya Island I can confirm that the good ratings are 100% true. We've been there for two weeks over New Years Eve (29.12. - 11.1.) and it was amazing. We've had the all inclusive package and we stayed in an over water suite (710). Me, my... More

When I read the 15 terrible reviews I didn't recognise the resort we have just returned from. Fantastic lagoon with white sandy beach was perferct for novice and advanced snorklers. Meredis Dive Centre was brilliant at setting a programme to achieve Open Water qualification in a week. Food and Staff were tremendous. We were all inclusive and it was sufficient... More
