This is not a fancy hotel..it is a three star. But a really clean, pleasant, friendly three star. The dive centre is excellent, really professional and helpful. The house reef was just amazing.... we saw several sharks, rays, eels and so many fish. The spa is affordable and the treatments are superb... we bought a treatment package which was great... More

This was our fourth visit to the Maldives and the second visit to Chaaya Reef. We visited last year and decided that we just had to go back again this year. Well what can I say, last year was brilliant but this year was exceptional. The standards of the hotel are exceptional and a very big thank you to Prem... More

When we reached the island we were greeted by the staff who took us over to reception and quickly checked us in and took us to our beach bungalow 310. The location of this... More

I will not go into too much length on this review. If you have read the other reviews they give a good overview of the Island and the staff. This is NOT classified as 5 star resort so therefore do not expect 5 star. However, considering this is a 3 star island, it more than meets expectations and deserves 5... More
