“Bad first impression in Maldives”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

This was our first time to visit Maldives. There are 2 must conditions on the trip; 1) staying in a water villa with all inclusive packages and 2) taking seaplane. This resort, Vakarufalhi, seems to perfectly fit to what we wanted as well as very good comments and rating here in tripadvisor, so we decided to choose this hotel rather... More

We have just returned home after a fantastic 2 weeks in this resort. The food and the staff were first rate and the beach bungalow was roomy with a 2 loungers and a large day-bed on the verandah.

“Vakarufalhi revisited”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

We have been visiting the Maldives for over 20 years and have sampled many islands. We have been to Vakaru at least 10 times but we have not been able to visit since the island closed for renovation in 2008. We were worried that it might have changed. The character of the island has changed a little with the additional... More

First of all thank you so much for taking the time and effort to give such a detailed comment. We also appreciate your honest view regarding the comparison of Vakaru before and now, as there might be more old Vakaru Travelers, who are afraid to come back to the new Vakaru due to the not known changes. Surely it was... More
