Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort

Terrible butler service. No service actually.

Do not think. Just book it for paradise..

시암월드를 거쳐 래플스에 지냈는데. 비교가 안될 수가 없고 수중환경이 정말 좋았습니다. 비치빌라 최고고, 가오리 상어. 니모와 도리 엄청 봤습니다. 기념품도 마니 받고 리프레시하고 선물 잔뜩받은 기분입니다

We just spent another splendid time on this wonderful island in the deep South. Arrival procedure is always impressive with the guys playing the traditional Maldivian drums whilst GM Dennis and his team welcomed us warmly. This time we stayed in the stunning sunset beach residence. The villa is spacious, with a large combined bedroom/living room and an oversized bed. The bathroom comes with a huge sunken bathtub, adorable Jasmine bath amenities, and certainly an additional outdoor shower. Outside area houses a pool and diverse sitting and lounging options. All units provide a butler service, our Nattu was very nice and always supporting. This small and secluded island is truly beautiful, surrounded by a stunning lagoon and covered with lush tropical vegetation. At the moment, the beaches are almost on every part in a very good condition. I found the area between the firepit and the supply jetty currently pretty attractive with a broad stretch of beach and calm water. Best spot for sunset cockails is without doubt the iconic Long Bar. We loved sitting there and sipping drinks whilst the sun went down behind the infinity pool. Dinner on our first evening took place at Firepit, featuring a Maldivian & Asian themed night. There is a new chef from Italy on site, we rated the culinary experience superior compared to before. They added a special set-up with different shacks, all come with a great selection of food. It’s a rustic, romantic venue with chairs and tables in the sand. During night time, the paths and the entrance to the outlets are enlightened by torches which is pretty atmospheric. Main restaurant Thari boasts another fantastic location. Right on sunset beach with great views over the ocean, many palm trees and nice wooden furniture which blends perfectly into the nature around. Breakfast is on an à-la-carte base (yet, I have to admit I love a breakfast buffet ;-)) with different menus on offer, e.g. Maldivian, English, Arabian. You can then select two more dishes on top. We enjoyed all meals in this venue. One of the evenings we went over to the ocean pearls, the separated overwater area which is only accessible by a short boat ride. It hosts the overwater villas and Yuzu restaurant along with the Yapa bar. It was a good experience, yet food-wise last times it was a tad more to my personal preference. But this is of course all very individual and hubby was satisfied with his choice. Allover, there is a fabulous staff to guest ratio which is noticeable in all venues. Service was always very attentive and warm-hearted. Also I would like to highlight the complimentary island water which is served in every outlet. Snorkelling is definitely a great experience here at Raffles. The coral situation is pretty good in the South, even if we could see some bleached corals as well. The reef is easily accessible, best from sunrise side and comes with a good amount of fish, anyway not so many sharks and turtles seen like in former times. Well, it’s n

It was a great experience. Our housekeeper Mr.Nattu is very responsible. Everyone at the hotel was very welcoming. The waiters Mrs.Liz at Water House Restaurant are also very warm and patient. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins .It will come again next time.

Great experience. Prefect location, 2 house reefs, villas done with the great taste, food - 3 restaurants with quite extensive menu. The most important - Butler Lisa made our stay absolutely fantastic, helped with all the needs and questions immediately
