We stayed May 6-16th The hotel and staff were absolutely wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. The food is of a very high standard, the rooms and common areas spotlessly clean, staff friendly and attentive. There is a good selection of low-key evening entertainment. There is a house reef which is good for snorkelling and there are a variety of trips available as well as diving courses and water sports etc. This was the best hotel stay we have ever had, and we are both well travelled. We will definitely be returning to the Maldives and more than likely to Dhigufaru. Staff - from landing in Male to leaving the staff are wonderfully helpful. We had a hotel representative waiting for us to assist with the seaplane and he was also there on the return to advise on international departure. When arriving on the island the check in is seamless and we were assigned an island host of the duration of our stay - we had Mary, she was fantastically helpful in arranging trips and keeping us informed. She also arranged for some special extras for our anniversary including a room upgrade on the last two nights of our stay which was incredible - thank you Mary!!! All the staff on the island are incredibly friendly and helpful. The staff at the pool bar were fantastic. It also seems that in the restaurant you get assigned a waiter for the duration of stay - we had Shubuham, he was so lovely and remembered our drink orders :) as well as giving us tips and advice. Venu and Sohita were also lovely and helpful. A special thanks also to Abdullah the boat captain who let me steer the boat on the dolphin trip! Food - the food is excellent, of a really high standard and highly varied. We were on the island 10 nights and repetition was very limited. Entertainment - there is a different theme each night at the pool bar, but all entertainment is low key. Two stand outs were the diving school who gave a talk on the local reef, which was very informative. The hotel management also held a cocktail party one evening, this was a great way to find out more about the island as well as an informal way to raise any problems (we had none!). We had been out on the dolphin trip and mentioned that we didn't see any (not that we minded) so the manager rearranged for us to go again the next day and we saw many. This was exceptionally good service and so unexpected. There are also a good selection of trips available from the dive school, including a tour of the house reef (which we did), manta ray trip to Hanifaru (we did this and saw mantas), plus other trips such as turtles. The hotel also puts on a daily sting ray show at the arrival jetty - this is excellent! Island & sea - the house reef is good - off of the arrival jetty - with a good variety of fish (big & small), plus the occasional shark and sting ray. There is also good snorkelling in the lagoon between the two water villas, it is shallow here for those that don't like to be out of their depth. The lagoon is also la
