Fabulous bucket list trip

We loved everything about this stay. From the villa, the staff, food, facilities and included activities, everything exceeded our expectation. We splurged on the all inclusive package in a deluxe water villa with a pool and are so happy we did, it was worth every cent in our opinion (bucket list BIG TICK). We've never done an all inclusive before but have heard a few disparaging remarks from others who have done it at other locations as they felt like they were treated as the poor relative to the "paying" guests. However, this was definitely not the case here, there was excellent food and beverages choices and plenty of them and service with a genuine smile every time. A special mention to Bishmi who was wonderful, but also to all the staff that looked after our needs during the stay, what a fantastic team. We tried the spa too, fabulous massages. The island is beautiful and the resort really well designed and maintained and our villa was gorgeous (loved the outside shower too - we didn't use the inside one at all). Thank you for an unforgettable holiday. We won't forget our stay in R704.

A generally good resort.

The location was great. We loved our pool overwater villa looking over the ocean. The two speciality restaurants were very good and we were pleased that we had only booked bed and breakfast only as it meant we could dine in these rather than the main self-service restaurant.

Paradise on earth!

This resort is just exceptional! The crystal clear water and beautiful beaches are stunning! In the water villa you enjoy a lot of privacy and in general the island did not seem to busy during our stay. The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful! We liked the fact, that a snorkeling trip as well as a sunset cruise are included. We would definitely recommend all inclusive to enjoy the nice cocktails. This holiday was beyond our expectations!

Relaxing paradise with super comfy beds

This is a seaplane only transfer island so make sure you consider hours of operation when booking your flights to/from Male. We had the misfortune of using SriLankan Airways, based on times of arrival - NEVER AGAIN! Anyway, upon arrival you are immediately hit with the magic of the colours of the sea and white sand. There are lots of excellent facilities on this island and the dive centre (Ocean Dimensions) is excellent. I am a newly qualified diver and they were super-friendly and helpful in making this a brilliant diving experience. We had a water villa and the views from the doors, whilst lying in bed, are just brilliant. Be aware that it is quite tidal so the depth of water as you descend the steps into the sea can be quite variable and it is very rocky so sea shoes are a must. The food in the all-inclusive restaurant was very good, varied and tasty. We didn't bother with the speciality restaurants for this very reason. The bar make excellent cocktails too!

We loved every minute of our stay here, if we can we will definitely be back!

Rooms: we stayed in a water pool villa and beach pool villa and absolutely LOVED both!! The rooms were tidy and very clean, room service was amazing and staff always asked us if we needed anything else. Breakfast: the food was delicious! Pancakes, oats, waffles, daily fresh fruit, eggs your way (omelette, fried, scrambled etc), croissants, breads, warm meals and more as well as fresh juice and coffees of your choice. Dinner: the daily themed dinners were amazing, we got to experience a few new cuisines and dishes which we loved! Staff are friendly and very attentive as per usual. Staff: both my husband and I agreed that we’ve never been to a place where every single staff member was friendly and happy- until we visited Brennia Kottefaru! Waitresses, cleaning staff, reception staff and drivers were absolutely amazing- they even remembered my birthday and our son’s name (we told them once) Island: the whole island is a dream! Honestly paradise on earth, we loved every corner of it, swimming, snorkeling, walking along the beach for sunrise and sunset, it was amazing! The hotel had quite a lot of guests and yet it felt like nobody was on the beaches or in the ocean when we were? Such a dream!! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER, I WANT TO COME BACK ALREADY 😃🩵

The vacation at the hotel was wonderful! We really liked the food - the variety of dishes was very impressive. It was always possible to find something for yourself, regardless of preferences. The service is at a high level - the staff was attentive and responsive. I would especially like to mention Mila - she was very friendly and caring. She was always interested in how we were doing and quickly answered all our questions. Her responsiveness has created a special atmosphere of coziness and comfort. Many thanks to the hotel for such a wonderful stay!

Good stay on an amazing island

The island is pristine and extremely well taken care of. The rooms are super spacious and confortable. We stayed in a beach villa and the water was a few paces away. The food on the main restaurant was pretty decent standard all inclusive fare. The staff was overall friendly and accomodating without being overly pushy. The airport pickup to the seaplane transfer was seamless and the flight was a breeze. The spa service was great as well.
