Hotel berhampiran Wedding Ceremony in W Retreat & Spa, Fesdhoo

W Resort Maldives 22-26 April 2024 Arriving at Male , we were immediately greeted and taken to the lounge where we waited for our seaplane . As our flight from Thailand was delayed we had missed our Seaplane and had to take the next one which was a few hours later. Wasn’t a great start but the lounge was comfortable and refreshments were available. We were greeted by Mr.Saito , who gave us a welcome drink and a nice tour of the Island. The check in was already handled at the lounge in Male which made everything seamless as soon as we got to the hotel , that little touch really goes a long way to the comfort and first impression. The bar team Mr. Ajit made sure we were having a great time as well as keeping us hydrated. We were pleasantly greeted by Fit guy Marq who made us feel comfortable and introduced us to all the activities available . Kadek and Ajit looked after us throughout our trip , thank you guys and we really hope to see you again next time. Special shout out to Mr. Moosa for always checking in on us and recommending chef Baka that gave us a true culinary experience in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Chef Baka catered to our taste buds and blew us away with the local flavors . Furthermore with the help of Mr.Moosa who introduced us to chef Orn that made us “Pad Ka Prow ” (extra spicy just how we like it !) our local comfort food, it hit the spot after a long nice day of swimming. Can’t thank them enough for really making our experience unique. The room : Well maintained with breathtaking views. All kinds of marine life was present which got us all very excited. The property : The beach doesn’t get any better than that . Crystal clear waters , perfect blue skies , a true paradise. W resort Maldives has gone above and beyond our experience and the staff really made it for us. Everyone had a big genuine smile on their faces and was always eager to “Whatever , Whenever” us. We will definitely be back , till next time , much love and thank you for taking care of us. Anshika and Avinash - From Thailand

We went to Kandolhu for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon in the Maldives and WOW what an experience. The food and service is truly world class. The rooms are beautifully designed with absolutely everything you might need. We did the top all inclusive package which we would really recommend - everything you can think of is included, including a wine fridge in your room! Particular highlights were the Mexican restaurant - the best tacos and ceviche we have ever had - Astrid is a star! Waiter Ameen was also fantastic - he looked after us for dinner at the fabulous teppanyaki restaurant (the chefs were fantastic - this is a must do!) as well as at the seafood feast evening. The spa is beautiful with amazing staff - would really recommend spending some time there. We stayed in a beach villa, but if you can, we would recommend getting a villa with a pool as there are no communal pool spaces. While you can obviously just swim in the sea, the reef at Kandolhu is incredibly vibrant - with tonnes more sharks, fish and rays than we have seen elsewhere in the Maldives. Obviously they won't hurt you, but sometimes you do just want a float in the water to cool off with nothing else there!! BUT if you are into snorkelling and diving this has to be one of the best places in the world. The management couple are also lovely and really make an effort to get to know all of the visitors. Given the island is so small you really will feel a personalised touch, with all of the staff knowing your names and dietaries etc. Finally, to point out the obvious, this is a TINY island - you will need books and games etc - prepare to do nothing during your stay here! It was the perfect end to our honeymoon and is the ideal location for couples looking to celebrate something special.

This hotel has a great reef but is seen better days. It needs to get revamped. It has one of the best reefs in the Maldives so you have to cope with all the faults of the hotel. I booked the all-inclusive for $137 a night plus 26% tax and service charge. Don't come in May All you get is rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain. The food was okay. They put me on the second floor and I had an ocean view. Good thing about this hotel is that they have a washing package. If you stay less than four nights I think it's $22 and they'll wash everything that you own. If you stay four to seven days I believe I spent $32 for their laundry package which is unlimited laundry. Their drinks are okay nothing named brand. If you're on the all-inclusive and you want carlsberg then they have to put it in your room because they just serve beer on tap that's lion. I would stay there again because of the reef but the hotel is absolutely nothing special.

We made a return visit to Sandies Bathala this year because we had such a lovely time last year. It was just as good this time around. Great snorkelling (sharks, rays, morays, and hundreds of species of fish), beautiful beaches, great food, great service, lovely rooms. Thanks especially to our waiter, Amjad, who took such great care of us at the beginning of the week. All the staff were friendly and attentive, but we appreciated especially Amjad’s positivity and jokes.
