40 minutes away from Male's airport by speedboat. Very beautiful resort. Because I don't plan to dive, I chose a large sand house. The room layout is particularly fond. One side is the pool and the other is facing the sea. The resort staff are very enthusiastic and go wherever they go. Everyone is greeted by everyone. The life here is slow-paced. It is very suitable for a few days. The bar can watch the beautiful sunset. In the morning, you can see the sunrise sitting on the deck chair. Tizan is full of words, the buffet breakfast is rich, and the guests are not too many. It is a quiet environment we like. On the day of check-out, because it was an evening flight, the hotel was delivered to the airport at 15:30 in the afternoon. The hotel staff waved farewell side by side. Watching the speedboat go away, highly recommended resort [strong]

Just returned from summer island . Summer island was a little piece of tranquil paradise which didn’t disappoint in any way at all. We were in room 253 superior vista which was clean and comfortable and the guys tending the rooms worked hard and discreetly . The island itself is beautiful and having walked around it , I would agree with another review that the sunny side is preferable. The beach and sea is stunning and to see the beautiful fish and black tipped shark swimming backwards and forwards literally past your feet is special . The marine life and fishes are nature at its best but upsetting to see the coral looking sad in places. We ate in the hiya restaurant on two occasions and enjoyed the experience , from here you may get to get a glimpse at big grey sharks and on two occasions a stingray made an appearance. The nevi bar and Samuga were pleasant places to sit and have a drink anytime of the day and the sunsets amazing . I have never seen such clear nighttime skies and stars . The food in the samuga was varied and plentiful and was catered to everyone’s taste. I would recommend this island to anyone who is looking for a laid back , relaxed and tranquil holiday . Well done to all the staff who work so tirelessly in the heat to keep the island so well maintained and spotlessly clean . I really have no negatives , only positive things to say. Summer island is suitable for all not just honeymooning couples, but for friends and families. The only one draw back was the journey from the UK seemed endless to get there , the 8 hour delay from Heathrow with Qatar didn’t help matters but these things happen .We decided to get transfer to the island by seaplane and returned to male by speedboat both good experiences. The speedboat was a bit bumpy and the sea choppy that day but it only takes 45 minutes so bearable even if you don’t travel well on boats . By seaplane you get a different perspective and was wonderful to see the islands on route from an aerial view and literally took 10 minutes , pricey but well worth the experience. .I would definitely return to summer island but would maybe stop off at Dubai as a lot of other people did for a few days or book a direct flight with no stop off to Doha.

This was a perfect stay in paradise for my wife and I and more tha delivered what we expected. Not as luxurious as many resorts in the Maldives but functional and clean bungalows right on the beach fantastically maintained by our room attendant Alibel who was happy and friendly and really looked after us. Staying all inclusive the food was delicious with plenty of choice and as much as you could eat. The bar overlooking the sea was perfect with staff attentive and friendly and a reasonable selection of drinks available within the all inclusive package, although we did find the wine in the bar awful and undrinkable although the wine in the restaurant (apparently the same wine?!) was lovely. The one resort shop was very overpriced but this is to be expected as there is no alternative. The weather was glorious, hot and sunny 95% of the time and the crystal clear sea a lovely 27C. Taking full advantage of the all inclusive kayaking and snorkelling, we saw everything from turtles to Black Tip Reef sharks and Nurse sharks and from lobsters to a multitude of colourful tropical fish. The staff were really friendly yet professional and could not do more for us, nothing was too much trouble. A walk to the end of the pier after dark is a must to see sharks and fish in a feeding frenzy, incredible to witness. If anything the only suggestion we would make would be to have an information pack in each bungalow/room as it seemed to be up to guests to find out for themselves what was available.

We just spent two incredible weeks at Huvafen Fushi as a family of 4 (2 adult kids). Having been to several different top properties across the Maldives, Huvafen was essentially an alternative to Gili Lankanfushi to us, as we felt like our favourite place has sadly become too noisy with the growing civilisation. So, in this review I will compare Huvafen to some of the other places we have seen, but also try to objectively reflect on our time there. Firstly, let me say that we had an absolutely wonderful vacation at HF and we enjoyed ourselves from the moment we stepped onto the island until we left. The island is certainly a magical place, both in terms of its nature / surroundings, as well as the people working and living on there. After two weeks on the island, we truly felt like part of the family and we were extremely sad to leave. Now, you might ask - why did you only give 4 stars if it was so wonderful? Honestly, this was not an easy decision at all. We had a heated discussion in our family and even after some weeks our opinions are still split - ultimately however we agreed that there are some small, but important, points that stopped us from giving this place 5 stars. But believe me, if 4.5 stars were possible, we'd give them that! But first, let me describe the numerous positives of Huvafen Fushi, that made our vacation here so wonderful: 1) The island location is perfect, only 30 minutes by speedboat from Male, but at the same time extremely quiet with no other large islands or noice pollution around 2) The island lagoon is stunning, with the water being crystal clear and very clean. The overwater bungalows have beautiful blue water in front of them (also deep enough to swim properly - which can be an issue at some Maldives properties), while the island bungalows have beautiful white sand beaches in front of them 3) In terms of activities, Huvafen really offers something for every taste. The island is extremely calm and relaxing for those who just want to spend their holidays doing nothing (the Spa is also amazing for that, including the incredible underwater spa), but at the same time offers a great variety of activities. We went windsurfing and catamaran sailing quite a few times which was extremely fun (Thanks to Aneel and the rest of the watersports team!!), as well as scuba diving (Thanks to Musto for taking great care of us and showing us lovely dive spots!), snorkeling, a sunset cruise and a super cool session with the Marine Biologist in the underwater spa (Highly recommended!!!) 4) The Thakuru (butler) service is great because it really feels like your well-being is at the center of your Thakuru's attention. Our Thakuru Yoonus took exceptional care of us and made us feel like no request was impossible! After a while, we didn't even have to voice our wishes anymore - he would simply pick up on them even before we could think of them and just make it happen. Big kudos to Yoonus, he was a GREAT part of why this vacation was

The privacy of the room is very good, and the villa swimming pool has a door (lockable). The pool villas of Paradise Island and Paradise Coral Island that I have stayed in were designed with the swimming pools facing the sea, and then surrounded by plants to maintain privacy, but after all The plants cannot stop people from walking in by mistake, so the privacy is the best at Banyan Tree! But the swimming pool is too small, and it is almost useless for swimming (the bathtub is good, and you can soak in hot water at 37.5 degrees, which is very comfortable.) But the overall facilities of the hotel are a bit old. Because the island is small, there are only 48 villas, so the buffet food variety It’s too little, not in line with the positioning of a six-star island, and feels quite shabby, especially with the price of $70. Bird of Paradise’s $50 buffet dinner is much better than it. Compared with before November 3rd (the day when the pool bar opened and guests were treated to free Japanese skewers and cocktails🍹, which was more pleasant.), the island has finally been upgraded with an infinity public swimming pool. This facility is very good, beautiful and practical ( However, because it has just been used, there are design flaws. The anti-skid function of the swimming pool is not good, so it is easy for people to slip and fall. I fell twice. Although it was not serious, it still hurt when I fell, which affected the vacation experience. , I hope it can be rectified so that subsequent tourists will not be accidentally injured), but the most dissatisfying thing is that the hotel treats guests who request to extend the room differently. We booked on Ctrip.com for $150 to extend the check-out time due to room status, but Two Chinese people in another room booked through the hotel's official website and were given a free extension to check out at 18:00. This made me very dissatisfied. There were obviously available rooms that were not available to guests (I asked to extend the stay until 14:00 and wanted to have lunch on the island before leaving, but was rejected). This makes me quite disappointed with the hotel's service spirit! ! The Paradise Island where I stayed during the National Day was very friendly. They would extend your check-out to the latest time for free according to your flight (they will inform you whether to stay in the same place or change rooms to rest depending on the room availability. I was arranged to stay in the water for free at that time. Thank you very much for extending check-out until 20:00!)

Snorkeling on the island is better, we go every day. Wife and child think they eat well. There is a ping-pong table, and we will play for a while after dinner. The services on the island were very enthusiastic. They also helped us to buy masks. The young lady in Shandong and the EMMA in Malaysia were very helpful. We were very moved. His wife said that he would go next time.
