$2899—Maldives dreamy all-inclusive, 5 nights for 2

We had the BEST time at the Residence Maldives! We would absolutely recommend to any of our friends. We cannot say enough good things about the staff 10/10 so friendly, helpful and just a pleasure to be around. Our accommodations, the activities, and overall experience was exactly what we hoped for and more. We celebrated our honeymoon and my husband’s 40th birthday here for 1 week. They really made the whole day special for him. They did a birthday surprise in the room with a lovely decoration on the bed, wine and a cake. The staff said happy birthday all day and then at dinner we had a surprise as well. These little touches through out our stay really makes this place stand apart. For more details about our stay… PreArrival + Arrival I couldn’t be happier with level of communication I received before arriving and the instructions available. We booked a travel zoo deal for a 1 week stay and I reached out to the hotel to reserve our timeframe. It was very easy. The domestic transfer from the international airport was very easy as well and the staff greats you and walks you through each step, including checking you in and your bags etc. It was a short plane ride over and a 15mins boat ride after that. We felt very taken care of during this process and everyone was very friendly and professional. When we arrived the check in process was a breeze, and there is a nice refresher waiting for you. After a buggy took us to our villa and our bags were already waiting for us. We had a sweet surprise to kick off our honeymoon stay with a decoration on the bed and bottle of wine. We stayed on the Dhigurah side but the connecting island Falhumaafushi is also available to visit, eat at, etc. Activities During our stay snorkel gear is available to use the whole time and two bikes are also at the villa to use. It’s a good little bike ride from one side of the island to the other so it’s convenient to have. They also have buggies or golf carts that you can call reception to request one to take you anywhere. There are a lot of other activities that are available as well. Kayaking, paddle boarding, dolphin sunset tour, and a lot more. We signed up for a discover scuba session. Our instructor was so nice, patient and very knowledgeable! We felt in great hands. We would highly recommend this experience and the reef was STUNNING. While we were snorkeling as well we saw fish, turtles, sting rays, and little sharks! It was our favorite thing to do and then when we were tired we would lay by the pools. They also have a little island in the middle of both resorts called castaway island. This place was so cute and made you feel like to were away from everyone. They even have a small bar there as well with a couple select spirits and drinks. Look out for Sampath, he was so nice and helpful at the castaway island and at the lunch/pool area. Food & Drinks We did the all inclusive food & beverage package and it was absolutely worth it. The bereaves available were premium spirts and a good wine selection as well. I was very happy with what was available. I have a dietary restriction of lactose free and everything was so well labeled at the buffet and very accommodating during lunch and dinner. It was amazing, I never felt I couldn’t have anything. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, there were plenty of options to choose from. Nafu was simply a joy to see every day. She was one of our favorites. For lunch we found our favorite place was the dining room at Falhumaafushi. The servers there were so awesome as well. They had a really good food selection and it was delicious. For dinner we tried the French restaurant, Italian, Cantonese, Sunset Grill, and Buffet. Our favorites were the French and Italian, the food was AMAZING and the service was fantastic. Honestly everything was pretty good, our least favorite was the Sunset grill. Only because this was an extra cost and in our opinion not really worth it. For it being the “sunset” grill, it was after the sun set so it was very dark. They tried to have some mood lighting but it wasn’t enough, we could barely see our food. We did ask for another light from a table that was not being used and that helped. We didn’t know it was a buffet on the beach either. The food was okay but for the cost I think would have rather gone to the dining room buffet. The dessert was the best part here. Overall though staff, food options, taste, and drinks were all amazing and we had enough to choose from for staying there a week. Our Room We stayed at an over the water sunrise bungalow and it was a DREAM! It was spacious, clean and felt luxurious. The pool was perfect for two and being able to snorkel right from our room was so much fun. The mini bar was well stocked every day and the cleaning service did an excellent job. I also have to mention the on site Doctor. While we were snorkel my husband cut his foot on a clam. When we called reception they sent over the on site Doctor to our villa. He was so wonderful! He cleaned the wound (luckily he didn’t need stitches), bandaged it up and gave us extra cleaning/bandages. He checked up on us through out the week and cleaned the wound again whenever we needed. It as such a relief to know he was available.

room was fine and most of the staff are very friendly

Food, Yoga, ambiance

Everything was amazing! From the enchanting location, to the rooms and specially the staff members. The attention to detail from the arrival to literally the departure. They were all fantastic!

Me and my wife celebrated our 25th weeding anniversary. Idk if it was because of that, but the staff made us feel super special. We only stayed 6 days, but I wish it was more.

Extremely large atoll. Need to be shuttled everywhere, which the resort handles efficiently. Only disappointment is difference between photos of facility provided when booking were ideal. Photos show crystal clear water with pure sand. In fact the white sand is covered in green plants.

Amazing Resort with top notch service and staff! Everything exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were very good. The snorkeling was best I have experienced, we did 2 great dives. We really enjoyed getting around on bicycles and enjoyed being able to bounce between 2 resorts. Highly recommended resort!

Luxurious stay at a well maintained, designed and expansive all-inclusive resort. Loved the seclusion and amenities of the villa and the variety and quality of dining options. The process of getting to and from the resort was seamless and well-coordinated. The staff were all fantastic, friendly and helpful.

Special shout-out to Hafiz, Raghav, Afzal, Sajith and Micah at the Dining Room, Kirish for explaining the island names, and Terhun and Hassan at Long Beach.

It’s a beautiful place and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. It is also so relaxing.

One of the best trips of our lives, the staff was amazing. Knew you by person try to accommodate everything and anything they possibly could. It was the most relaxing vacation we can ever imagine. The only negative was the long flight which is out of their control. Thank you for a great time.

Yes, this is an expensive vacation but worth every penny I highly recommend going if I ever go to the Maldives again I definitely will go to this resort. It is five star.

This is top notch all inclusive resort we’ve ever experienced! From the rooms, location, food, staff everything is absolutely amazing! Only drawback was the 1 hr boat ride to the island due to closure of nearby airport. Our shoutout to staff Hafiz,Malik, Micah,Yna their warm infectious smile and service is amazing.

Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

It was INCREDIBLE. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.
