The island is stunning. It truly is paradise and one of your bucket list destinations. The rooms are beautiful. Decorated elegantly and the layout with the bathroom Over a glass panel floor so the fish are swimming below. We had a sunset villa and sat and watched this each night which was breathtaking. The beach is perfect with white sands and crystal blue waters. Location wise, it is perfection. The island is well looked after and the layout is ideaL. Sadly we arrived and were abandoned in a room and told our rooms would not be ready for a further hour which ended up being closer to two. We took ourselves off and walked around the island. We had packed costume and shirts so if there had been a suitable place to change, we would have got on and started our trip. I did finally ask our butler Anna when she reappeared but the shower/toilet room was soaked from divers using it to shower down so not inviting to change in and we chose to wait it out. We eventually went to our rooms but one piece of luggage was now missing and it took half an hour for it to arrive meaning we still couldn’t get on and head back to the beach. Given your butler is the only person to communicate with, I don’t think we got a comprehensive explanation of exactly what we could and couldn’t do/have. There is only one main restaurant, do not entertain the Japanese one, we went and sat at the tepanyaki table hoping to have dinner cooked in front of us but received a pre cooked meal (no choice) from the restaurant downstairs. I have never walked out of a restaurant in my life but I did this one and we went down to the main one. 3 other couples followed us soon after. Main restaurant food is excellent and the staff are great too BUT a set menu every night? It was obvious, particularly at lunchtime that another menu existed, probably for non all inclusive guests but surely ALL INCLUSIVE means you get access to everything and their food options were frequently better than ours! I would say that overall the food was good but the lack of choice and when we chose to miss lunch, there was nothing else to get til supper, no ice cream cart or anything (other than ordering room service - again at an extra price which in all other inclusives is always part of the deal. We didn’t seem to gain anything by being all inclusive. We only had one cocktail a day on the beach. Also whilst occasionally a guest would get a drink brought to them on the beach, there certainly was no beach service and you had to go to the bar itself round by the water sports. On departure day we had a 3 hour gap from room departure to boat departure and were lead to believe that the only place to shower up was at the dive centre, which gave me the impression of a water sports changing room. We were pleasantly surprised to find air conditioned rooms with all the amenities which allowed us to enjoy our last hours on the beach. Maybe let guests arriving early mornings use these to change in too then they won’t get annoyed about losing holiday hours when their rooms are not ready??? It’s a beautiful part of the world and I would visit again but sadly would pick a different hotel group next time.

WE stayed one night in Hulhumale and then next day morning came to Vadoo island. The transfer is available at the airport Jetty , and they have a counter at AIrport as well. The transfer by speed boat is chargeable and takes 15 minutes from Male. The welcome was grand with garland and chilled coconut water. We waited for some time at the waiting lounge and after formalities got transferred by a cart with our designated butler Vijendra. The Island is a tiny piece of land and it takes just 10 minutes to take a full round of the island . In fact on the main island only reception , restaurants the main swimming pool etc are located. The guest cottages are only only over the water ans accessible by wooden pathway built over the shallow sea water. The pathway is long (approx 400 meters), and on both sides of that the cottages are located.One side Sunrise cottages and opposite side sunset cottages. We stayed at the cottage number 832. Inside the room there are tea and coffee maker, TV, sound system. They also offered complementary fruit platter and a bottle of sparking wine. The bottled water was available in abundance. The cottage is beautifully built 1000 square feet private bungalow wit hall modern amenities including mini bar,shower enclosure, Jacuzzi bathtub. The backside has a private deck with seating arrangement a very cozy private splash pool. All the cottages here has private splash pool. From the deck you can get down to the sea through the private steps from the Villa. The life jackets and scuba equipment are available for free. You can get down into the sea and enjoy a breath taking scuba diving with a view of colourful marine animals. With only blue sky and deep blue water in front of your eyes you feel time has stopped. The restaurant is on the main island and buffet breakfast is having excellent spread and food quality is also fantastic. We ordered one lunch at the Villa and enjoyed the same on our deck- awesome experience! On the main island there is a big swimming pool, a beach side bar and adventure centre from where lot of adventure sports are available at additional charge. In the evening the drink at the deck above sea was such a beautiful experience. Every evening around 5 pm the fish feeding activities take place close to the main island. You can see various and colourful fish during that period. Overall the service level was excellent, all the Villas are attached to a private butler who takes care of the guests really well. Our butler was Vijendra , was always available by call for anything we wanted. He was more than happy to help always with a smiling face. Overall an excellent stay!

My wife and I stayed here at the end of December through New Years. (They threw a huge New Years bash!) Upon arrival we were told we booked the all inclusive package with a personal butler (Vijendra) which was an excellent surprise. We ate and drank like Kings and Queens. The staff is very accommodating to your every need to the point where some guests takes advantage of this with ordering every item on the menu to just take photos of the food. Our day was jam packed with breakfast 6:30am -10, lunch 12:30-2pm, tea time at 4:30, 5:30 fish feeding and then dinner 7:30-10pm was all inclusive. Drank 16 different types of white and red wine. Mini fridges was alway stocked with our favorite drinks. Ate local maldivian breakfast on our last day here. We had a special sushi dinner one night which was booked by our butler. The amenities were great. Our villa had a plunge pool which you can see from the bed at the front and a hot tub in the back area. We had the sunrise view with steps that lead down to the beach. Felt very comfortable all the time and didn’t hear anything next to us even though there was only one villa sharing our entry way. Parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing is all available at an additional cost. However, you can just relax at the beach near the bar and go snorkeling which that equipment is also included. I would recommend bringing water shoes seeing that the beach/reef area has is lined with coral. The Adaaran live up to my wife’s dream honeymoon!!!
