  Trip to paradise

  We spent a fantastic vacation at this resort in the Maldives with a small child and we had a great time. The island is simply spectacular and the property is really beautiful, well-kept, and equipped with amenities appropriate for its category. What made the stay even more pleasant was the extraordinary hospitality: the welcome is warm and all the staff stood out for their helpfulness and courtesy. In particular, we would like to thank Mary, our contact person for the stay, who was always friendly and ready to handle our requests efficiently and promptly, even last minute. The only small flaw was the food. There was a bit little choice and the selection was strongly characterized by a contamination of very spicy flavors, which in the long run may not suit everyone's tastes. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend. I would go back tomorrow!

  Room for improvement

  I am no stranger to the Maldives, i have stayed in various resorts since 1983. I left Dhigufaru with mixed emotions, sad to leave the beautiful island but keen to fly out to enjoy better food at home in Singapore. I overheard a couple of Italians commented how disgusting, "schifo" the buffets were. Wine selection is limited. One of each house white, red and rose only. The all inclusive package is misleading because Dhigufaru's all inclusive is limited, unlike in other resorts i have stayed in, which includes everything in the mini fridge in the villa. Service was ok, some of the staff were excellent, some were very slack. Definitely need more training. However, I must mention that Maanu, our host, did look after us very well. He is one staff the management should treasure. The resort has not been maintained. The chairs in the dining area were uncomfortable. Cushions were all stained, even the ones in the villas. I had a cockroach in my bed one night. My shower leaked water outside the shower booth and the water was not draining out. The steps going to the sea at the villa were slimy and dangerous. The handrail was wobbly. If you are not interested in eating decent food especially on holidays, this resort is ok. The island's natural beauty is out of this world. Beautiful powdery white sandy beaches and the amazing colours of the sea. If only the management can improve their offerings to come close to the beauty provided by Mother nature, Dhigufaru will be an absolute paradise. I felt very cheated by the glowing reviews on several online platforms praising the F & B and facilties of this place. What were their standards for comparison?

  An idyllic week in a true little paradise

  We spent an absolutely perfect week in an idyllic setting. It was our fourth stay in the Maldives and we particularly appreciated this intimate establishment, which offers everything one can expect from a Maldivian hotel, with all the necessary comfort. The staff is professional, attentive, and always ready to help. We really felt like we were in a cocoon. We stayed in a Beach Villa with a pool, while our children were also able to enjoy an overwater villa with a pool: both experiences met our expectations, simply perfect. Some negative reviews seem regrettable, even damaging to me, because the services offered are perfectly consistent with the price. If one dwells only on a few small details, it is perhaps because one forgets the essentials: we come to the Maldives to enjoy the sun, the sea, the fish and this exceptional setting. The only small point that could still be improved concerns the dining. The food is good, but a little more variety and a few extra little touches could truly make the difference. We especially want to warmly thank Didi, Shibaz, Anees, Rouxiee, as well as all the other people who contributed to making our week so wonderful. Thanks to the whole team and, we hope, see you very soon!
