This was our first trip to the Maldives and I can't begin to explain how excited we were! Our expectations were somewhat peppered by a few of the reports on tripadvisor.com but it enabled us to go armed with information, an open mind and a positive attitude which resulted in us having a truly AMAZING holiday. The resort has undoubtedly... more

We stayed here for two weeks, March 2009. The staff are great, food great, but it was not as good the 2nd week, had a bad storm, lightening struck the mast and TV Internet and phones all went down. problem still not solved when we came home and it may be 2 to 3 weeks before its sorted.

Having visited several islands before we arrived on the island with an open mind after reading many poor reviews of this island. You cannot compare this new island to the long established northern islands as this is a very much an island in progress.

We have just returned from the Handhufushi resort after a rather pleasant stay on the Island.The Villa was first class in a good position on the beach.The service was first class,the food was some off the best I have ever tasted,the desserts were out of this world.Drinks were always avaliable and in most cases branded. The Island was quite long... more

Hello, This is just a warning to all who may consider going to Handhufushi, the resort is not at all finished, the new "beach" they have built is little more than coral dug up form the foreshore and compacted to create a concrete strip between the shrubs and the waters edge. There is rubbish everywhere, the paint is coming off... more
