Ok so this hotel was a very mixed bag for us however overall we really enjoyed our stay as the quality of the accommodation (water villa), quality of food within the restaurants and the friendliness of the staff were all pretty good to say the least. Please remember guys this is a new hotel so not everything is perfect so let me break this down.
THE GOOD:
The water villa is absolutely sensational in every way possible. The view, the quality of the finish, the size of the pool and just everything about this villa was amazing.
The food in the restaurants was pretty consistent and varied from day to day
The staff were extremely friendly and really tried to do their best to make you happy and have a really amazing experience. The Chef from Egypt is perhaps one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and he simply couldn’t do enough to please me and my wife after some negative feedback regarding one of the meals. The guy at the pool bar (Isanka) was a legend and made sure our cups were always full and once again he couldn’t do enough.
The daily dolphin sightings were truly an unforgettable experience and I have never been so up close and personal with so many in all my life. If you take a jet ski with the boys from the water sports you will literally see hundreds of you’re lucky.
THE BAD:
The journey there and back meant we lost two full days which to me is just so inconvenient and frustrating as we laid a fortune and by the time we arrived all the restaurants were closed and we were exhausted after travelling for in excess of 15 hours which should not be the case as we reside in Dubai which is only 4 hours away.
The room service is absolutely horrendous. The food took over an hour to arrive and after several calls to reception the food arrived and was stone cold and was quite possibly the worst I’ve ever encountered from a 5 star hotel.
The telephone system is useless. Everything goes through reception. You dial in room dining and it’s reception, house keeping also gets you reception and then when you try to call reception for whatever reason it’s usually engaged.
Housekeeping was very very bad. The guy tried his best but he really didn’t know how to clean and had to be prompted to do certain things like clean outside, empty the bins, restock the mini bar (which he never did) etc
Lack of simple things like napkins on the table, salt and pepper shakers that actually work, condiments etc
FLIES!!! I hate flies and I always opt to sit inside as a result of that however when the waiters are constantly leaving the doors open not only does the AC then serve no purpose but the flies also come rolling in and are literally all over you for the duration of your meal.
Overall I would give this place a 7/10 because we did have a great time however we spent most of our time in the comfort of our own villa so that’s what made it special as it was just outstanding. I wouldn’t go back purely because of the duration of the journey which just totally put me off especially when I paid $13,500 for 7 days and lost 2!

Dear Moynesyboy, It was a pleasure to welcome you and your wife to Pullman and we wish to thank you for choosing to stay with us during your trip to the Maldives. We are very appreciative of your candid feedback and for the time taken to write your review on TripAdvisor. The breakdown of your experience really helps us to focus on the positive aspects that we create for our guests, but also on the opportunities for us to improve. We take pride in our hospitality, the villas, the restaurants and the stunning surroundings that we offer and it encourages all of us to note that you appreciated them as well. As you mentioned, Pullman Maldives Maamutaa is a newly opened resort, however, this fact should never impact the quality of our services or offerings. Your constructive feedback helps us to identify the shortfalls and trust that these areas for improvement will be fully utilized to avoid the same inconveniences for our future guests. Please accept our sincere apologies for “the bad” that you experienced during your stay. It disappoints us that we have not been able to recover these shortfalls during your stay itself. We hope this experience will not impair your trust in Pullman and that you will give us the opportunity of welcoming you again soon. Best regards, Martine Vera Strous Guest Experience Manager

Just arrived home to Melbourne from a 8 night dream holiday on the Maamutaa Resort in the Maldives. My husband organized the trip through the travel website Luxury Escapes to coincide with Valentines Day and my birthday. It’s a long journey to get there from our home in Melbourne. Two plane trips but once we arrived in Male Airport, everything was taken care of by the incredible staff that are part of the Pullman Resort. We were met by a welcoming staff member, who took us up to an airport lounge with a buffet lunch whilst we waited for a local flight to take us to Koodo airport. Then a speed boat was arranged to take us directly to the island. We literally felt that we were on that old Aaron Spelling 70’s show called Fantasy Island. The beaches are a stunning blue like you have never seen before and the sand is incredibly white and clean. The resort is beautifully designed with luxury style cabins that have indoor and outdoor bath facilities. We chose to split our stay between two types of villas. The first four nights were in a beach villa and then we moved to an ocean villa on stilts with a private pool. To wake up in the morning and directly see the Indian Ocean is simply one of the best experiences of my life. The staff take care of you like royalty. The villas are extremely private and practical with fully stocked mini bars and snacks included. The resort is all inclusive including all meals in the three restaurants and unlimited drinks in the hotel bars and with your meals so you don’t have to worry about anything. The staff do everything they can to assist you. Shristy in the Melange Restaurant was a stand out staff member and did her utmost to make sure that we were welcomed every day and even made sure I had a very special birthday dinner. Raul,the masseuse in the day spa was excellent as well. If you don’t feel like walking to your destination, there is always a staff member who can take you around the island in a buggy which as accessible as having an Uber. The staff are friendly but also keep in mind that guests want privacy so they are not too intrusive either. The quality of the food is excellent and diverse and everything is brought on to the island by sea and freshly prepared by expert chefs. The Souq Oven is Italian by lunch and middle eastern at night and is superb.There is of course many diving and snorkeling activities but one can also just relax and take in the beauty of the island beach. Unfortunately, the 9 days went by too quickly and our stay on this island had to end but we literally had the best holiday of our lives and so glad we made the journey to this incredible island.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
When you are reading our comment you might think we got paid by the Pullman, but unfortunately we were not. As an Accor Diamond member we are spending many stays in Hotels all over the world, so I think we have good comparison to our stay in the Pullman Maldives.
After you picked up your luggage at the Airport and going out through the customs your holiday starts and you don’t have to care about anything. We were warmly welcomed and the people were taking care for our luggage, checked it in for the domestic flight and accompanied us to the lounge for waiting until takeoff. Then after a short boat trip we reached the island where the staff was already waiting for us at the pier. We checked in at the junction and were brought to our ocean villa with pool where our luggage was already waiting and a nice arrangement was on the bed, it was written „ welcome home“ made out of leaves. The service on the island was really great in all aspects, special thanks to Thariq and Martine who were always available and cared about us 24/7 when necessary! They are taking care to make your stay unique! The Pullman has three restaurants and one pool bar with snacks. Although it’s all inclusive the quality was always very good and food was fresh prepared. The drinks are all made with high quality spirits like Belvedere, Hennessy VS etc. and they offer around 60 different wine. The service in all restaurants was excellent and from day three everyone knew our favorites and offered us them in the beginning. Also special thanks to the water sports team they are all very professionell and we had a great time with jetski, flyboard and stand up paddeling. We were lucky to had a free skydive included in our stay :-) What a great experience, it was for us both the first time and so exciting and beautiful to jump down to this colorful islands. In our villa they offered two times a day housekeeping service, including towel changing if necessary. The staff did really always a good job, we never found something to complain. My girlfriend was enjoying the Spa and loved the massage from Barbara very much. On her last day they offered her a relaxing bath afterwards to say goodbye.
All in all it was the best holiday in our lives and we were really treated like diamonds! Keep on going Pullman, we will come back!

Pros: Property is location on a beautiful island with pristine water. Villas are very spacious and luxurious. Good selection of complimentary alcoholic and non alcoholic bevarages. Comfortable bed. Melange restaurant and Saffron Affair were extremely well managed and we had a wonderful experience there. Breakfast at Sol Rising was very healthy and gourmet, however, the food was served after some delay. We were received at Male airport by courteous staff who took us to the Moonimaa Lounge and ensured our smooth check in for the domestic transfer to kooddoo airport and to Maamutaa.
Cons: Diving center cancels all inclusive cruises and fishing activities on a very high frequency for just a temporary bout of strong winds or rain. Even after the weather clears up later, they do not call to reconfirm the cruises causing great disappointment to hotel guests who have come with great expectations for a vacation.
Buggy service is abysmal and infrequent. There are parts of the resort where the buggies do not even shuttle, causing a lot of inconvenience and wastage of time to reach from one point to another in the resort. Also, the buggy service is understaffed.
Reservations for restaurants (phat chameleon, souq oven) are fully booked on a daily basis, so we need to reserve the tables atleast 2-3 days in advance. Both restaurants have extremely limited seating for a resort of this size. Souq oven is understaffed and hence causing a lot of waiting time to attend the seated guests. Also, during my stay, inspite of mentioning allergy to prawns, they have mixed up the dish and served chicken, and fish that was likely cooked in the same utensil/oil with the prawn which resulted in me developing a severe allergy. NOT expected.
Maintenance issues faced in ocean pool villa # 613, there was some electrical malfunction causing darkness in the outer deck pool area on the first night of our stay. On the next day, we were locked outside our own room, because the door sensor did not respond to the keycard provided. Later on, we were informed that we need to wait for IT maintenance to resolve the issue which could take upto an hour, however the technician was able to fix the problem instantly.
We were not informed via email/phone about the arrangements made to receive us from Male Airport causing lot of anxiety. The responses to the emails sent by us were very vague and slow.
Pathetic Wi fi speed and router range, persistent disconnections in Wi Fi.
Some of the hotel staff hospitality needs to improve.
We were expecting a better welcome at the resort on arrival, however, we were given a refreshing towel and a not so good tasting welcome drink.
Bad music was played during our sunset cruise, which started one hour late, after the sun had already set, for which the reason provided is that there is no available parking for the cruise boat due to a refuelling boat.

Dear ShashantSingh, I wish to thank you for your time to share your valuable feedback about your experience at Pullman Maamutaa. It with greatest pleasure to note on the highlights of your stay and which aspects of your journey in paradise had positively impacted your experience. Thank you for rewarding the courteous staff members and commenting on the stunning villas and the wonderful dining experiences in our restaurants. We are very sorry that in other areas of your journey we did not meet your expectations. Please accept our sincere apologies for the concerns you have marked and the inconveniences that they have caused during your time at Pullman. Kindly allow me to touch on a few remarks. During your stay we experienced some bad weather conditions, where after the ocean activities had been cancelled due to safety reasons. Rest assured that our Dive Center team will not cancel these activities if it is would be safe enough to go for excursions. According to our records, the cancellation had been performed and ones who could not be reached will be left a voice message in the villa. I am sorry if this message and the eventual rescheduling of the excursion has not reached you. We usually do not experience any full booked restaurants when the weather is fine. Due to the rain and wind, the outdoor seating could not be utilized and indeed then the capacity becomes less, where the restaurants are booked quicker. Dietary preferences and allergies are taken very serious in our restaurants and bars. The team indeed took note of your allergy, where the prawn had been swapped for a chicken skewer. It is a usual practice for our Culinary team to utilize different utensils for such cases. As we take these allegations of serve allergy reactions very serious, we have done an investigation, but we cannot locate any record of highlighting the allergy reaction with both the restaurant and our Medical team. Nevertheless, rest assured that this matter will be emphasized with both kitchen and service staff to avoid these events in the future. Furthermore, the shortfalls in services you experienced concerning the buggy shuttle, food delivery, communication, your welcome experience at resort, the Wi-Fi connectivity and staffing in general has been shared with all relevant department managers. I can assure you that we take these type of feedback on board in our continuous process for improvement of guest experiences and we are grateful for your candid comments. It is our hope that the remarkable and enjoyable memories will dominate. I wish we have the chance to welcome your return to Pullman Maamutaa where you can witness the changes we have made. Thank you again. Best regards, Martine Vera Strous Guest Experience Manager

We had booked at Pullman for 5 nights from 12th to 17th December. Please take note that the resort has no control over the domestic flight so the flight from Male to Kudoo are few and far in between. We reached Male around 12 and there was a representative from the resort to take care of your further travel. We were escorted to a lounge where we waited till the evening and had a late evening flight with one stop so we reached the resort at around 9 o clock so the whole day was wasted. The rooms are large and the view is to die for. The bathrooms are huge and modern and elegant.It’s a new resort and the staff is very friendly and well trained. It’s impossible to remember every one’s name but all at the restaurant Melange including Sristi, chef Parvesh. Chef Subroto and Mufooba (I think) all were very helpful. We are vegetarians but we had enough options so no complaints here. The buffet has many live stations but they become a tad bit repetitive after some days. The staff at sunset bar( forgot the names) were also ever ready to get drinks and it was a evening well spent at sunset. We had lunch twice at souq oven and the food was excellent and service was exceptional. Please make reservations at the earliest as for dinner we has a reservation at 8.30 the last day and we were informed about our local flight and check out at 3 in the morning. So we were in no mood to wait until that late so we canceled our reservation. Our return flight was at 2 pm but we had to check out of the hotel at 4 in the morning and for that we were given a wake up call at 2 and the villa was to be vacant by 3 am. It seemed like torture to wake up at 2 on a holiday.The resort, food, staff are all excellent but still I wouldn’t recommend if you had such a tiresome journey to and fro from Male. The resort provides coupon for water activity and jet ski/spa. We went to make reservations for spa on the very next day but they were fully booked until 17th so both our coupons were wasted. We tried for jet ski instead but they too were fully booked. My daughter got to do the jet ski as there was a cancellation and the person at the desk told us to confirm at once. We requested to if we could use the coupon for sunset cruise instead but that was not possible. We went for snorkelling and it was a very good experience. Our guide was was very friendly and helpful. So please make reservations as early as possible for all the activities and the restaurant too. We felt safe as social distance was maintained at all times and instead of menus we were providedQR codes to be scanned for menus so physical contact was minimum and all the surfaces we disinfected frequently.

Dear soniyap566, Thank you for posting your kind review post your stay at Pullman Maldives Maamutaa. We are excited that you had an enjoyable time and were impressed by our spacious and luxury villas, staff and food offerings. We take proud in the services by Pullman which we deliver to our guests and it is rewarding to hear that you noticed our staff being so well trained. The team members who stood out in your experiences have been thanked for their efforts and all of them are grateful for you mentioning their names. A review like yours is very inspiring for them. Our Phat Chamaeleon restaurant serves pure vegan and vegetarian delights and also in our main restaurant Melange the Culinary team offers a wide range of vegetarian options. I am glad that you as a vegetarian found plenty of options during your stay with us. Your suggestion of rotating the menu in Melange has been shared with our Executive Chef for further review. We sincerely apologize that you were not able to enjoy the activities you wished to join during your stay. Our activities and fine dining restaurants indeed need a booking in advance and we always advise our guests to plan accordingly when they arrive. Thank you for advising future travelers to do the same. Nevertheless, we are reviewing current operations to greater the chance for every guest to enjoy their preferred activities during their stay. You are right, the domestic transport from Male’ to Kooddoo and vice versa, are managed and operated by a third party airline. Maldivian Airline always tries their level best to minimize the waiting time and provide the best possible connection with the international flights. I am sorry for the inconveniences the travel timings caused during both your arrival and departure. While enforcing health and safety prevention rules such as social distancing, utilizing QR codes instead of physical menus and frequent disinfection of high touch areas, we keep it as our main objective to create exceptional and comfortable experiences for our guests. I am very glad you felt safe and we let Pullman keep the travel dream alive. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and it is our hope that you may visit us again in the near future. Best regards, Martine Vera Strous Guest Experience Manager

Paradise found on Earth. The resort is managed by the best people. The rooms which have the best views anyone can dream of on Earth, are immaculately cleaned daily, well appointed with an ultra luxurious finish and decor. The people exceeded our expectation of the what the Maldivian hospitality is. The Pullman Maamutaa has selected the best people with genuine passion, care, smile and enthusiasm to come work on this paradise island. The food was top notch, they have the best chefs crafting the best dishes daily. We are not vegetarians, but kept going back to their exclusively vegetarian restaurant Phat Chameleon. With amazing excursions, a fantastic spa menu, a scenic speed boat transfer to the island, perfection has been reached. If there was a rating of over 5 for Over-Exceeded Expectation, this is the score I would have rated my experience. Thanks Pullman Maamutaa for an incredible and unforgettable experience.

Pullman Maledives Maamutaa Resort is a perfect place to relax in an atmospheric and luxury environment. The island is very beautiful. The white sand beaches were free of people so that we often felt alone. Beaches were cleaned daily. We stayed 9 nights in a Beach Pool Villa, which was excellent. We can definitively recommend a Villa with an own pool. Villa was spacious and clean and had an own direct access to the beach Food was amazing and of very high variety and quality, especially in the main restaurant "Merlange". Chefs were always highly motivated to fullfil special demands. Especially Salauddin, Subrata, Welmor and Aravind did a great job according to the diet restrictions of my wife. They understand it to create delicious and tasty meals. The all inclusive offer was large and the best we have seen so far. Staff was always really friendly and service-oriented. In general, everything was well organized. Booked excursions as well as fitness activities were also really good. Covid measures were all appropriate so that the risk was decreased to a minumum. Covid PCR test for departure could be done in the hotel itself. All in all, we really appreciated our stay and will definitevely come back.

My partner and I just spent 5 nights on a overwater pool villa at the pullman and had a fantastic holiday. Our villa , large and abounding with cool stuff like an out door shower, outdoor rope hammock..to dry clothes ....lol and to lay in watching the fish, complimentary mini bar , filled twice a day as well as room service twice a day , a glass area in the lounge that we could watch the fish through , an infinity pool that had the sunset as a background. the water varied in so many colours of blue to clear to green that I felt humbled to be in such an amazing area of our world. Phew... so room was awesome , we hired bikes to get around , xxx highly recommend this , food from all restaurants was of a high , clean,, flavorful standard xxx yum yum yum xx trip came with sunset cruise,sunset fishing trip, massage hehe for me , jet ski for Ian, although he extended it and I got to swim with dolphins . My review on the pullman maamutu is that with all the beauty they have built and preserved perhaps their greatest assets is the staff no I mean family that made our stay 7 star.

I am really not fond of writing reviews, I’d rather just give the star ratings but Pullman deserves a review due to our fantastic stay. The Pullman Maldives is a new resort which worried me at first, due to the little amount of reviews. I was worried that such a new place could have teething problems, but boy was I wrong! We booked 7 nights at the resort. On arrival to Male, we were greeted by a rep that took our luggage at escorted us to the domestic airport lounge which offered free drinks and snacks. Once we finally arrived in Koodoo, another rep was waiting and escorted us to the hotel speed boat that got us to the resort island where about 10 people from the staff greeted us which was so heart warming.
The resort is simply beautiful, we booked the Water Villa and requested the sunset side which we got. Put shortly, the pictures we saw from Trip advisor and Hotels.com just does not do this place justice.
Staff: Now this is where this place won our hearts. After accepting the beauty of this resort, the staff just made the experience even better. The staff communicated between each other via smart phones which meant we could ask anyone for anything and they would internally handle it and make it happen. Everyone was just amazingly polite, warm, friendly and professional. Barmen would remember our previous drink orders, waiters remembered our favorite table, chefs would bend over backwards to please our palettes.
A huge thank you goes to Mr. Arup who is the Food & Bev Director. He made sure our dining experiences exceeded perfection. Trying to show our gratitude, he would just reply saying that seeing us happy made him happy. All this came with great warmth and professionalism. Dear Mr. Arup, we cannot thank you enough for making the culinary part of our stay a truly beautiful one.
We would like to thank the whole Pullman team for making our stay one of the most memorable trips ever. We don’t remember everyone by name but we do remember Ibrahim who made sure our room was always tip top, Amanda and her colleague (the slim life guard) from the dive center , who convinced my wife to snorkel and then take us to the deserted island where we managed to see dolphins, sharks, stingrays, turtles and part of Nemo’s world, Martina who handled our arrival and early departure perfectly, the Malange manager that always remembered which wine we wanted and all the Chefs that worked so hard to make us happy.
We will miss you all dearly.

I truly recommend Pullman Maldives Maamuta for holidays. The service was amazing, the staff always going extra mile with us. From the room thanks to Esther, Sanjeet and Ashish from reservations, the Housekeeping team, the bartender Braize from the HUB was super friendly and always serving the best cocktails accordingly what we like, Udit always making sure that our F&B experience was good. The funniest and more attentive buggy drivers Agsad, Misbaah and Shizaan, thanks to make our stay more easy. In diving center you can find Inma, the best instructor that encourage us to do snorkelling and diving even we didnt try before, we felt safe and very comfortable, she is amazing. Souq Oven and Sol rising the best restaurants to have breakfast and lunch. The quality of the food and the pasta from Waziri was special good. And special thanks to the Spa team to do the best massage and the best hair treatment for my wife. Big thank you Pullman , to all of you to make our experience 10. We definitely come back very soon. It has been our best experience in many years, and we are going to try to make sure that our friends can enjoy it as much as we did.

We did book via the hotel directly however next time I would prefer to book directly by the ALL app so any changes can be instantly managed instead of waiting for time differences, etc
I suggest better leave earlier, sometimes there is delayed in domestic flights and from Pullman speedboat also takes time like 30 minutes heading to domestic airport.
There are more places to choose from in the Maamutaa Island area.
