We visited Maradiva on 5th December for 7 nights. This was our annual 'chill' holiday and also this year to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary - the past three years we have visited the Maldives for our chill holiday and it was for this reason, following extensive research I chose Maradiva as we wanted to try an alternative destination. We were not disappointed. The individual villas with private pool were very private, well appointed and perfect for our holiday. Previous comments about garden areas being dry/brown I feel are a little harsh - the site is a very natural environment and the gardening staff were visible, polite and clearly worked hard to maintain what is overall a exceptionally beautiful 'private village' setting. When strolling to breakfast, beach or dinner it is hard to believe the occupancy was 90% it is so peaceful and quiet.
The dining experience and quality of food was wonderful. There is plenty of choice on the menu at Coast to Coast and the standard is very high. The food and setting at Cilantro is also exceptional and very romantic. Special thanks to Nitish for providing my husband with a bowl of noodles and seafood (not on the menu) in the bar at lunchtime - just because he fancied one! Also big thanks to Bilal who looked after us so well on the beach on each visit.
The staff and activities offered at The Boat House were also very good.
The beach location is lovely, plenty of space between sunbeds (marked contrast to neighbouring hotels which were far to close together in terms of private space). Beach service is brill - drinks and lunch can be served without leaving your sunbed (thanks again Bilal!).
The whole staff at this resort are very committed, professional, sincere and friendly and the service provided is certainly 5* plus.
As other reviewers have commented if you are looking for lots going on in the evening then you may find the resort too quiet - but this was just what we were looking for - time alone to chill and enjoy fine dining and service.
Overall I'm not sure where the hours went... totally chilled and looked after - just what we had anticipated.
