Hotel di Falhumaafushi

Arrival process We arrived at 1425 and were booked on the 1815 internal flight, they met us on arrival and rushed us through to move us onto an earlier flight at 1435 which was running late (departed at 1630). Our luggage was 22kgs each, but we were not charged at the airport (maybe because they were rushing us through). The flight is an hour and then you are met and taken to the boat which takes about 10 minutes. The jetty arrives on Dhigurah (will refer to as D island) and we were taken in a buggy over to Falhumaafushi (will refer to as F island) which took about 10 minutes. During check-in it became apparent that everything is already booked up, we were staying for 10 nights from the 16th of Feb and had booked 5 nights in a water bungalow and then 5 nights in a water bungalow with pool. We had enquired about Vibes private dining before arrival for which we had received menus, we asked if we could book this for our last night on the 25th for my husband’s birthday and was told it was full for the duration of our stay, you can imagine our dismay, why were we not told to book in advance? Also, you are allowed to eat in the 2 ala carte restaurants, but only 1 visit to each is permitted, these had been pre-booked by the hotel ,so we could not change them to dates we preferred as everything was booked for the next 10 nights. Eventually they were able to book Vibes for the 23rd and an extra night in the ala carte on the 25th for the birthday. We found this a bit too much after travelling for so long on arrival. The hotel needs to change its policy so that you cannot pre-book before arrival or advise everyone to do so to avoid disappointment. We were taken to our room 324, at this time it was raining very heavily, and we found our suitcases left outside the room. Once opened, 95% of all our clothes were wet, this was beyond comprehension, why would you leave bags outside a room in a location that is susceptible to unexpected rain, especially when the room is not occupied. We went back to reception to speak to the manager, he agreed to get all our clothes, washed, dried, and ironed to be returned by the following evening (2 of my husband’s shirts were ruined from the ironing as it left them shiny, which were brand new). He also upgraded our room to a deluxe overwater villa with pool (will comment later on the room). He said that he would change the process on bags being left outside rooms to avoid this in future, but we saw bags left outside doors so was disappointing to see something so easily fixed was not done. Rooms Our initial room was 324 water bungalow on the sunset side. The villa is a nice size, but there is only air conditioning in the bedroom, the living area and bathroom only have ceiling fans so would feel very hot (were glad we were not ill as that compounded with a hot toilet would not have been pretty). You are given 3 glass litre bottles of water per day, which do not fit in the fridge very easily. For the upgrade we wer

When you step foot on premises, you immediately are greeted with smiles. The resort gives a feeling I’ve never felt anywhere else. The staff is amazing, from the food servers to the bar tenders. The dive center is full of experienced and excellent staff. During my stay which was 7 days I enjoyed the staff just as much as I enjoyed the location. They were so full of life, stories and always so concerned on the best interests of the guests. The food was always fresh, and the drinks were crafted with care every single time. I stayed in an over the water sunset villa, which was soo dreamy. The room was cleaned daily to perfection. The lagoon was full of life so snorkeling was a lot of fun. This resort definitely is worth every penny, and the staff is just the icing on the cake. Thank you Mercure, Maldives. You left me full of memories I will share for the rest of my life.

Could not recommend this resort and this experience any more highly. I travel a lot and stay at a lot of Hyatts — this experience was absolutely second to none. My significant other and I were fortunate enough to spend 8 lovely nights on Hadahaa. I chose this destination due to the incredible diving, and was not disappointed. The dive experience is top notch, as you already know if you are a diver. I was shocked to find myself as the only diver on the dive boat every day except my last — during peak dive season for this atoll. Blue Journeys, the in-house dive operation, is excellent. I greatly appreciated that they joyfully took me out diving as the only customer day after day, when many operations would have cancelled my dives. I also appreciated that they gave me excellent continuity with dive master and team. I dove with Jai daily, and could not speak any more highly of a DM. He was kind, skilled, and very fun. I splurged on the tiger shark dive and Jai also accompanied me on this experience. I hope to dive with him again someday, I certainly feel I have made a new dive friend. Especially appreciate his kindness videoing our dives, I left my own camera on the boat but still enjoyed amazing footage. I was also able to do some shore dives — do not underestimate the house reef. Gorgeous. I dove with Jai and the head of the dive shop one day — while completely unaware that one of the women I dove with was also the owner of the island. Kind, humble, conservation-minded. Thank you. ❤️ Something that was unexpected to me at a resort of such luxury was the authentic desire of the staff to share their culture. As the dive team could tell I had the interest, we were sometimes able to visit local islands on our surface interval. They treated me to coffee at a local shop, and the captain twice climbed palm trees to provide me with a fresh coconut. I was able to meet some of the captain’s family, including his wife and young daughters, and was gifted a banana milk to drink alongside his adorable nephew. His mother-in-law gifted me chilis she picked from her bushes in front of me as the captain climbed the palm tree. Who would have expected this local experience at a 5 star resort? And truly, it was 5 star. I have never had such a luxurious experience that was also so clearly authentic and from the heart. Our host, Shamin, must be one of the most excellent staff members they have ever had. I hold Hyatt globalist status and am unsure if he has been hand-chosen for globalists, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this were the case. I am certain all the hosts are excellent but I could not imagine anyone better suited to this role. Zero room for improvement — if he does not already, he should train hosts! Shamin, thank you, again. ❤️ The rooms are fabulous, if you are considering this resort you are already aware of this. We stayed in room 15, a pool villa which we were generously upgraded into, and felt it was perfect for us. We appreciated the privac

Peluang untuk penambahbaikan: bilik 1. pertimbangkan untuk menggunakan botol kecil air yang boleh dimuatkan ke dalam peti sejuk bar. Air sejuk selepas hari yang panas adalah pengubah permainan! Melange 1. Surf and turf: udang besar dan daging udang galah dibekukan dan tidak begitu menarik. Selepas memanggang, daging itu ternyata separa basah, iaitu padam. 2. Cadangan: untuk pemanggang, masak mengikut pesanan dan bukannya menyediakan makanan dan biarkan di bawah lampu pemanas. i.e. Potongan daging kambing, daging babi, siakap panggang dsb. Makanan yang baru dipanggang lebih enak dan mengekalkan kualiti yang tinggi. Makanan panggang yang ditinggalkan di bawah lampu pemanas menjadi sama ada basah atau terlalu keras. 3. Cadangan yang sama untuk wafel sarapan pagi: buat mengikut pesanan daripada biarkan di atas pinggan sedia untuk digunakan. Contoh perkhidmatan yang hebat: 1. Mariana membantu menyediakan baldi ais champagne untuk kami walaupun ulasan bulan madu itu pada asalnya tidak didaftarkan oleh trip.com dan pullman. Dia sangat membantu dan mengingati apa yang pelanggan katakan. Markah teratas dan amat dihargai! 2. Semua pemandu buggy memberi salam semasa menjemput dan ada juga yang keluar dari jalan mereka untuk mengundur supaya kami dapat merakamkan sinar manta di perairan cetek di luar vila kami. Benar-benar layak mendapat teg perkhidmatan yang hebat! 3. Semua pelayan yang berkhidmat di semua restoran sentiasa bertanya sama ada kita mahu air bermula. Rasanya seperti SOP tetapi kami menyukainya! Konsisten dan servis dengan senyuman! Benar-benar pengalaman yang hebat dan ingin kembali lagi!
