Paradise on earth
Amenities, activities, scenery
8
Great range of activities and amenities but also plenty of locations to relax and unwind without being surrounded by other guests. Super friendly staff are always willing to help and the food & wine selection was very diverse. A wonderful place to spend a week!
Hotel Feature Tip:
Go for the water villa - you won't regret it! It's like having your own private jetty extending from your living area. Incredible.

Great location ruined by weak/cheap hotel approach
large and beautiful Maldives Island
5.7
a place with great potential but hotel experience ruined by super push marketing approach to consumers and package commercial policy.
lots of package customers, groups of charters "invading" the resort during chinese new year, with loud and annoying behavior, spoiling the romantic ambiance of maldives.
everything totally overpriced, average service with strong focus on selling.
past great experience at lux mauritius, but poor attention to customer in maldives, no luxury feel at all. no attention to details.
great snorkeling team in sport club, but unprofessional kite surf teacher, with poor teaching skills.
large number of restaurants, offering good food and different menu alternatives.

Lux Luxury in Paradise
good quality accommodation, nothing too much trouble, larger island, good diving
9.7
the lux maldives resort is a larger island, and due to this gives you more choice than some of the others we have stayed on. everything is of high quality in the resort and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who coped admirably with my husbands constant requests for things not on the menu! service really is top notch here and i can highly recommend the teppanyaki at umami (you have to pay extra for this if on a meal plan) and the italian restaurant allegria. senses, the asian fusion restaurant is also very good. the extra daily touches in the resort - the hidden bottle, ice cream service at the pool, hidden bar etc are nice little extra touches. the spa is also very good and i can recommend the energising massage.
diving is excellent and was a highlight of the trip, dirk and the crew in the dive centre are very professional and courteous and diving with the whale sharks that can be found all year round in the ari atoll was a highlight of our trip. we have been to the maldives 8 or 9 times now, mostly to different resorts, and have only found one other resort (soneva fushi) that we would (and have) returned to, but we would definitely return to lux maldives agains.
Travel tip:
note that if you like snorkelling on the house reef you need to take a 5-10 min boat ride, but it is free!

The seat arrangements in the Italian restaurants
8
The seatings for the Italian restaurants were unfairly distributed. The tables in the hallway with good lightings were all given to the whites. Even though others may have arrived earlier, they were not given the seats in the hallway. Please overlook this matter. This action could be considered as racism in some countries.

The Water Villas are best
6.7
We stayed in the prestige water villas first and then transferred for the last 4 nights to the water villas. Wish we had stayed in the water villas all along as they are cheaper, but the same size room and terrace as the prestige villas, but they have the best reef, swimming and the cleanest water. No sea weed here. Shame we did not know and wasted our money on the prestige villa.
The resort is big, rooms are well maintained and clean and the local staff really look after you.
Downside is that you have to book everything, restaurants were booked up for days, so no evening meal except buffet. The free trip to the house reef was booked out a day in advance. The resort should do better, especially at the price they charge.

Nice Hotel but could be better
Good facilities, clean rooms, manta ray feeding
7.3
This is a big resort and getting around can be an issue. Stayed at the Prestige Water Villas and this was a mistake. Although very clean and well equipped, half the villa space is the large bathroom. These prestige water villas are all at the far end of the resort away from the reception, water-sports & diving centre. So you either have a 30 minute walk or have to find a buggy to get there, and there are not enough buggies to take people.
The food is good and there is plenty of it, but you pay a price as this is an expensive resort. You have to book your table at the a la carte restaurants quickly, some restaurants had no reservations available for 4 days. The pizza place closes if it rains, and also closes early, so you go for a pizza and find it closing at 5.10pm when it is supposed to be open to 6pm. That means limited in-villa dining is often the only option.
The manta ray feeding and shark feeding are good events to see and you get to see this up close as the feeding is done right in front of you.
The beaches have a sea weed problem which washes on the beach constantly.
Hotel Feature Tip:
Avoid the prestige water villa and take the water villa (they are the same, except for the bathroom and better located.

Fantastic resort and staff
Location, food , staff...really everything high standard
9.3
The resort in itself is fantastic, great food and great staff who welcome you as soon as you step off the seaplane. We stayed in the water villa for 5 nights and it was brilliant.
The only negative experience was that the Lux Maldives couldn't/didn't help arrange our transfer from from the resort we stayed at on Male island the night before.... despite me e-mailing and calling twice (expensive) to make sure. When i arrived at the Lux Resort desk at the airport the staff member did apologize but used the excuse that our Male Island hotel that we stayed in prior was new and he hadn't heard of it and couldn't find their info (a simple google search would have sufficed to find this information or call/reply back to me in e-mail).
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Baby shark / Stingray feeding each day in the evening. Make sure to take the resort buggy!

great resort, great service, great vacation.....
all round service excellent...facilities up to expectations.....
9
water villa was great....almost everything was great.....except samll things : the water villa could be a bit far from the island (depending on which villa you stay at).... but we rented bycicles so we did not hv to walk to the island and wait for the buggy shuttle... another thing that can be imrpove is the food at the east hotel.... the other buffet restaurant (the kitchen) is better in taste and variety although prices are the same.... the other ala-carte restaurants (i did not try unami) are pretty good.... and actually cheaper and more worthwhile than the buffet restaurants.... but breakfast buffet is fine..... sea sports cantre is great.... jet ski... etc was great...stay a min of 5 nights to really enjoy the resort... dont want to be rushed....
