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 so we decided to choose this hotel. Due to the only short holiday, we had 1 night stay in Male and only 2 nights here and we booked the full board plus water villa room via agoda like 2-3 months in advance to secure the room.
We had finally arrived after a long flight. Everything seems to be perfect but once we checked in, we had been informed that we had been DOWNGRADED to beach villa at the second night and the resort offered us a free excursion to compensate. But I would stay only 2 nights and water villa is the reason why we were here. So I told them that we were uncomfortable to be downgraded into beach villa. It seems the reception would have understood that so she brought us to the room. After 10 mins passed, we got a call from the reception that the resort had NO OPTION for us not to downgrade and this is a MUST.
We were very polite and we did understand the resort facing a difficulty and the receptionist had already called us to apologize, but we still think that this was rude and unacceptable not informing us in advance

Overall we enjoy the place , we stay in the "water villa " it it a big room and big bathtub , a part from that the fearures are not really special but good . This place is not much thing to do part from diving and snorkelling or kayaking but you have to rented . Lots of fishes with full of colour ,few babies sharks swimming around , nice to look. Only the food is not up to standard of luxury of this resort . If in a short holiday is ok, but we stay there six days , I was tired of eating there !

Satisfaction over the Blue
Plenty of Good Food and Friendly Staff
9.7
Vakarufalhi is an island down south from Male. It can be reached by seaplane within 30-45 minutes.
This trip was a last minute decision trip. We booked the hotel 6 hours before our 5 am flight. Since we booked this in midnight which was 10 pm in Vakaru time, we did not get a seat on a seaplane on the next day. We reached Vakaru the next day at 1 pm local time. If we are booked properly, we would get on the 2.30 pm seaplane. The worst solution to be taken is catch next morning seaplane. This resulted some chaos how to reach Vakaru Island.
However, the Vakaru seaplane representer at Male Airport was very helpful. He tried to organised a domestic plane (which would cost more than seaplane and could not land direct on Vakaru), so we tried a better one. Next option we had a speed boat going there which would cost extra USD900. Then I asked nicely if there could be some other option.
Cut the story short on arguments and waiting hour, at 2.00 pm he found a seaplane that could drop by on nearby island and picked up with a speed boat - if they have enough seats. Then I said "Ok, lets try it". After got a reply from the other end of the phone, the man said to me "Ok, we have enough seats and you can be dropped by straight on the island". Phew... thank God for the miracle. Apparently the seaplane we boarded was designated to drop and pick up on several islands.
Once we got to Vakaru everything was a heaven. Blue and clear ocean, friendly staff, good food with lots of daily variation, room was made up when we were not in the room (somehow they knew), good massage. Everything else was excellent.
We stayed on the over water villa. We enjoyed the room as it was big for the two of us. Had balcony and stairdown to the ocean. The bathroom was spacious and very kept clean.
Shopping Tip:
When going accross to the capital Male, it's quite useful carrying few hundreds of Maldivian Rufi if you're buying souvenirs and food.
Crossing to Male with ferry costs USD 1 or 10 Rifa.
Souvenirs would cost starting from USD15 - 30.

Nice and quiet hotel
Very nice beach and villas by the beach
6.3
Nice hotel with an even nicer beach although far from Male. Transfer by seaplane needed what makes it uncomfortable and inconvenient. Food was of good quality during our stay although it seems there were not much changes (some nights they have a tematic night: Italian night, Mexican night,...)in the menu and there is only one restaurant so for longer stays it can be a little too repetitive. During our stay most of the guests were Chinese and a few Italians.
The WIFI that is included in the rate of the hotel is only available in the reception and bar area but the speed was really bad.

Perfect resort, wish we could stay longer!
9.7
Snorkeling around the island was fantastic. The lagoon has baby reef sharks which are harmless and more afraid of humans than us of them. The resort also organizes daily excursions. Service was faultless.

We've stayed there for four nights in the beach room. It was a very nice experience. The room is clean and tidy, and you can enjoy the view of beach outside your window. Food is very good so we enjoyed every meal during the travel. The waiters and waitresses are also very kind.
There are two disadvantages. One is that there are too many mosquitoes in the resort, and the other is the free wifi is only available in the bar and front desk area. If you want wifi in your room it charges you extra money (which is quite expensive.)
Hotel Feature Tip:
Free wifi is not available in the most area of the resort.
