This is a little different review for me, this is in no way meant to be negative although it may appear so in places. Ifuru is a beautiful island, and we had an amazing holiday, but these are just things I think people potentially need to be made aware of (I wish I had known these potential niggles). Having been to two other islands in the Maldives, it is important to know the feel of an island as we are all different but also paying a lot of money so want to make sure the island is the right one. Domestic Flights: After two flights we arrived at Male at 8am, unfortunately our domestic flight was not until 1.30pm so we had to wait all that time in the domestic waiting area. We found this extremely hard as the seats are extremely uncomfortable and obviously, we were very tired, we just wanted to get there. On the way home it was a very early start (picked up from our bungalow at 3.50am) as we were on the first domestic flight off the island and unfortunately, we didn’t think this was managed very well due to the luggage scanner not working. Everyone gathered at reception at 4am (luggage picked up the evening before) and then we were all taken to the terminal where we could see all our luggage. Then one by one, each party was taken through to a room for all luggage to be manually searched (this annoyingly meant everything was then all messed up when already been packed). This was frustratingly slow as every item seemed to be checked, and questions asked. As everyone had to do this, it made our flight over an hour and a half delayed to Male. We had another pick up at another island on the way to Male so this then had a knock on effect, rushing to get our early flight so just felt it was stress that could have been avoided if Ifuru had dealt with the searching of luggage better i.e. took people to the terminal earlier to account for this. We felt tired just going through this never mind the two flights we had ahead of us, it was another exceptionally long day home. This has put us off domestic flights, all the above was a lot of hassle for a 30-minute flight to the airport, so we wouldn’t do them again. Bars: We wished we had known this - there is really only one bar in the evening (Hubba Bubba). It is sold that there is a bar in the ‘Waterfront’ restaurant, which we thought we would be in the most when we booked, but this is really only a small bar for the restaurant. It has a small outside area with a few nets to lie on but no seating, so we do think this is miss-sold a little as a quiet bar to sit and relax in an evening when you cannot. Hubba Bubba is nice enough but has very samey entertainment each night inside. The outside area, even though large doesn’t have many seats to just sit outside, chill in a quieter setting. The beach bar is lovely during the day and a pity it doesn’t open slightly later into the evening as very relaxed, and the staff were great. They have a little shack in the afternoon that serves burgers, chips etc which wer

We stayed for 10 nights in January and we loved it. We were on a Premium all inclusive and boy we were spoiled for choice drinks wise. As for the food; all restaurants were serving scrumptious and yummy food. But my fovourite was the Japanese and loved all the theatre despite paying extra to experience it. Entertainment was top class; well choreographed and we loved it. Our only criticism is that there seemed to be limited parasols in some areas along the beach and on some busy days we struggled to find a seat in the bar area.
