We have been to the Maldives on previous occasions and this time chose a much bigger island accessed from Gan Airport, rather than Male. This meant our experience was very different with a large island offering bike rental (included in All Inclusive) or a number of electric buggies with drivers to take you around or walking, of course. All of the staff, from reception to waiting to bar staff and cleaners were all very friendly and wanted to make our stay a good experience. The island is run by a company from Singapore and they know what they are doing. We happened to meet the General Manager on our return flight and he came across as very enthusiastic about what had been achieved since his company had taken over and there are more improvements in the pipeline. But even given…

If you want to relax and chill this is the place to do it ! The staff are the jewel in the crown here from Kumar & Hussain in the pool bar to our waiter Shafiz who anticipated our every need with a smile . Such lovely lovely people ! Wherever you go on this island you are met with a cheery hello and the broadest smile from each & everyone of the staff including the lovely ladies sweeping up leaves . Second reason to come back was the food - oh my ! I challenge you to come back at the same weight you were when you arrived - the selection & quality on the buffet is amazing. The fantastic chef is always on hand to ask you if you’re happy or if there’s anything else you would like in the vast array on offer . If you like curry you are in for a real treat - try the unusual veg…

I must admit I was wary, friends have been to the Maldives and had nothing but fabulous things to say but after I had booked I read some reviews that were not as good as the ones I had read beforehand. I need not have worried. From when we had arrived we have absolutely nothing but fabulous things to say about the resort, Our villa was amazing, right on the beach, the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, spotlessly clean and very large. The food (which was buffet style) was plentiful and always very tasty, also a huge selection which changed daily. Our waiter, well i could not praise him enough, Soli thank you for the wonderful service, the vast amount of knowledge shared regarding the food, the island and the history of the Maldives. Totally recommend the dolphin cruise,…

Arrived home last weekend after a fantastic 10 day break at Canareef . Already we are missing the relaxation and the sun of the Maldives . From the UK it’s a long journey involving three separate flights and a fast speedboat transfer from Gan . However once there and fully recovered from the journey it proved well worth it . We stayed in a a Sunset villa which leads onto your own little white powdered beach - although not easy to swim in we found the south beach which was perfect . Although quite spread out , bikes and the very efficient buggy service made getting about so easy . The rooms were spacious and cleaned twice a day . They also benefitted from a very efficient air conditioning - certainly needed with temperatures in the low 30’s . The food at the hotel is…
