I rarely write reviews, but with such outstanding service, I just can't help but give a perfect 10! I want to thank the hotel team for their warm welcome. They have their own speedboat that takes you from the airport to the island. At the start of the island, an electric bus picks you up and brings you directly to the hotel. What follows is a delightful surprise and a seamless check-in to a cozy room with panoramic windows, refreshing air conditioning, and a stunning view. A big thank you to the entire hotel team for: The complimentary island tour. The fact that the most beautiful beach on the island is just steps away from the hotel. The delicious breakfasts and dinners. The daily room cleaning. The nighttime fishing experience. Atif’s assistance with excursions, where he acted as a guide and ensured everything went smoothly. The team also provides plenty of free snorkeling gear, including masks, fins, and vests, which was fantastic. Special thanks for surprising my brother with a birthday cake—it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Atif, Ahmed, and the entire team—you’re the best! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

The Hotel followed us up since arriving at Malé airport counter and picked us up at speedboat both ways. Hotel staff was exceptional, attending and very helpful showing what to do and where to go on the island. The room was very comfortable and the air conditioned kept a very good temperature inside the room all day. The meals had only 2 options but they were very well prepared, with very tasty local dishes varying each meal. They also organised 2 amazing excursions and we were guided by the Hotel manager personally all way. The Hotel manager was most kind, very attending and also most determined to show us the Whale Shark and to making us swimming among several Manta Rays. The experience of being at high sea guided with such care turned out to be most exceptional at all levels and made us feel very confident on our first snorkelling experience.

I stayed here for a week with my mother. My mother was abroad for the first time, and she was very happy! The owner of the hotel Ishan did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The staff tried to change the food for us, first from fruits there were watermelons, and then papaya, from the main course they served fish with rice or pasta with chicken and there were different vegetable salads and even potatoes a couple of times. The fish was cooked very tasty. You can ask Ishan to rent bicycles. We were given the opportunity to ride for one day for free, it was very nice. We will gladly stay with you again if we are in Toddoo.

    Lovely Vacation on a pristine island with amazing staff and service. Have a look on the movie with amazing details. https://youtu.be/K_3VKKrh4ls Food: Reefs Buffet Restaurant Amazing choices of food during Breakfast and Dinner, from freshly made eggs to Maldivian Mas Huni, from Müsli to Thai noodles - all what you get is freshly made on the island and tastes really well. Fresh fruits, fresh juices, croissant’s, dark bread and a wide variety for kids. Special food choices during the stay were: Thai Street Food Festival, Barbecue Buffet, Seafood Buffet. There are 2 restaurants as well - one for Thai Food, one for Italian food. All choices are very good and tasty. Kids Club: Our tiny little lady loved the Kids Club and the friendly staff. A huge ball bed with a slider insider, as well a kids kitchen, books, lego - everything a toddler can have fun with. The outside area is great as well - a huge slider and swings as well. Lot‘s of activities during the stay (every day something new). Housereef snorkeling: Lots if fishes to see - I saw some bigger sharks (black tip, white tip, grey reef shark and nurse sharks) and some stingrays - all are very close but friendly. The corals are great - lots of other creatures as well (Tuna, reef fishes, snapper, Octopus, Calmar …). Turtles are there as well and you can spot them around the island. I saw an eagle ray as well. During the whale shark trip, happily we saw a 11-meter one ☺️ amazing. But there is no guarantee to see them. Gym Well equipped with basic machines and free weights, cross trainer and treadmill. All are in good shape. Some daily activities you can join (stretching, HiiT, Yoga). Cold water and cold towels are there as well. Bungalow Well equipped and comfortable with great room service. Calm see in front of the bungalow and a nice privacy. It is a 2 floor building with a fan, day bed, air conditioning and inside and outside shower. Bars The Coral and Aqua bar are different.

    The trip was truly incredible! We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time, thanks to every individual who worked at the resort, and everyone who had a part to play in putting our adventure together. From the moment we stepped off the boat, we were greeted by the owner and some of the staff, who couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay, their attention to detail was phenomenal. The food in every restaurant was lovely, and there was enough to keep any palate satiated throughout their stay, along with a plethora of drinks options, whatever your tipple. The location itself was fantastic, surrounded by a magical reef that was teeming with wildlife, from colourful fishes, to turtles and reef sharks. Travel further afield and you can see manta-rays up close and personal, that one excursion was particularly awesome. If you want to be active on the island, the gym is adequately stocked with a enough equipment to keep you busy, and you can use the variety of water-sports equipment too, as well as a nice spa facility that offers expensive, but very enjoyable treatments. If you don't want to be so active, your time can be whiled away simply ogling the incredible turquoise waters, and the soft white sand that envelopes the island. Overall, we hoped that our trip to the Maldives was going to be special, and it exceeded our expectations in every sense, particularly the spell-binding scenery, but also the staff, they were awesome. We enjoyed celebrating our 20th anniversary, and we will no doubt return to celebrate another milestone in the future. Thank you!

    We chose this resort for our honeymoon and we were very happy with our decision. It's been our first time in Maldives and for both of us it was the best trip we ever had. Villa Park is a great place to relax, enjoy the sun, nature, the beach, the walks and so on. It's a nice destination not only for honeymoons but also for families and friends's trip. The staff has been professional, friendly and kind. Our host Nizam really took care of us: he helped us to change room smoothly and greatly managed our request. We recommend choosing the all-inclusive package as you will be able to enjoy drinks at any time. Food selection at the buffet was excellent. The best room we stayed was the private pool villa by the beach.

    Fantastic stay at Diamonds. Very smooth transfer service via seaplane and from the first second in the staff made me feel so at home. The island itself is actual paradise on earth. I stayed in the Bungalow and due to it being low season it felt very private. Everything felt fresh and new, plenty of activities to do like snorkelling and yoga or just to relax and escape the world. Loved watching the seaplanes land from my balcony. Food was amazing for an all inclusive, two different restaurants, a buffet and plenty of different options every day. Cockatils very strong! Really didn't want to leave.

    The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

    The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

    An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

    I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

    We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend

    It is a small enough island to walk around.

    It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello. There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food. There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists. We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

    It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

    You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

    A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

    "The beaches at the island are absolutely beautiful, with stunning shorelines on both sides. The jetty area offers a fantastic viewpoint for spotting nurse sharks, and the island is ideal for snorkeling with vibrant marine life. It's conveniently located not too far from Male' city, and nearby sandbanks add to the charm. The island also offers exciting excursions and diving trips, making it a perfect destination for adventure and relaxation.
