Heritance Aarah - Premium All Inclusive - 40 Minutes Away from Male by Seaplane

房間不大但夠用，就説説不滿意的地方吧: 1.入住期間每間房給免費補充零食和飲料，在管家和打掃人員都給了小費的前提下，入住第二天竟然沒給補零食。管家幫忙協調後，酒店居然一口咬定説已經補過，彷彿是我不誠信一樣。東西雖小，但原則問題決不讓步，繼續通過管家交涉，最後終於補齊了原本該有的小零食。 2.一般人可能都是先沙後水吧，沙屋裡每人有雙人字拖，但到水屋就沒有了。這點從沒人提醒，我以為換到水屋會有新的，就沒帶過去，幸好我帶了自己的人字拖。 3.我不是第一次來馬代，但卻是第一次在馬代見到大蟑螂。就在水屋旁的餐廳，一衹生猛的小強在餐墊的縫隙裏快速遊走，把毫無思想準備的我嚇得大叫。餐廳的服務員視若無睹，直到我自己換了張桌子後很久，才過來一個貌似是負責人的對我説了下抱歉。而且有的餐墊有點粘，不知多久會做一次清潔。 4.有天水屋清早打開龍頭全是黑褐色的液體，半天緩過神來我才想起來趕緊拍個照留念。

7家餐廳衹允許進2個餐廳吃飯，其他客人全部餐廳都可以進，我們不可以，説好的SPA按摩，結果衹是測試.

This was our second visit to the Maldives, the first being last year where we stayed at two excellent resorts that were really tough acts to follow! One of the reasons we chose Heritance Aarah because we wanted somewhere with a good selection of restaurants so that we didn’t get bored of the food over our 9 day stay, and in this respect it definitely lived up to our expectations. Food Ambula, the Sri Lankan/Maldivian tasting menu restaurant, was excellent and we loved both the standard and vegetarian menus. The staff there were excellent, especially Nilanta. Ginifathi, the seafood grill is very good. There are two menus that switch halfway through the week to give variety. The food was great and we visited there a couple of times. Ralu, the overwater Mediterranean restaurant, was superb with lots of choice and great team, especially Adam, Elina and Damith, who were so attentive. Jasmine, at front of house was fantastic and always made sure we were well looked after. Ranba, the buffet restaurant is good, but not great. A decent selection of food is available with theme nights all week. Generally service was just about okay but on our first night, just after arrival, we went there and didn’t feel too welcome and our waiter wasn’t that interested, which made us worried about what it would be like on the island generally - really not a great first impression. It was similar situation on our only other evening visit there (we discussed this with Deepak, the restaurant manager - see below under areas for improvement). Morning service was better. We often preferred to have breakfast at Ralu (rather than Ranba) because it is overwater and cooler. It doesn’t however start serving breakfast until 10am so if you’re an early riser, you’ll need to use Ranba, which has very good variety. One final thing on the food is the Pizza Shack near the pool; Pizza’s are excellent so highly recommend that for lunch or afternoon bite. Bars We really liked the pool bar - great ambient music and vibe during the day. In the evening, while we were there, was a really good live singer, which we enjoyed. The team there are really good too, particularly Ishan and Sakshi, who looked after us very well. The Pool itself is large and very attractive and at night has lovely lighting. Cocktails were great and they will make your requests - we enjoyed trying a variety from the extensive drinks menu. We went to the Sky Bar on our final night. It’s a beautiful bar above Ambula restaurant with views all around and it was wonderful watching the sun set for up there. Service and cocktails were fantastic. Villa We booked a beach villa, preferring these to overwater accommodation based on our experience last year. We originally tried to book a Sunset Beach Pool Villa, but none were available so we requested a villa on the north side of the island away from the pool and restaurants etc. We had villa 160 which had a nice outlook and was very quiet, with a lovely breeze most of the time.

We have spent 5 fantastic days at this wonderful resort. Crystal clear water all around the island with lots of fish. Rays, reef sharks and fish in many species and colours. The food is top class. From breakfast to lunch and dinner. Our best memories are with Ibrahim at the Hathaa restaurant. Magical food cooked with a twinkle in the eye. A show with fire. Sapna at the Ambula restaurant gave us world class service. Last but not least was our fantastic butler Kunal. Always available and always with a smile and helping with everything and a little more.... //Niclas Jansson

Heritance Aaragh is a superb place to spend a week’s holiday. We were treated like royalty from arrival to departure. The staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient and engaging. We were provided with a butler, a new experience for us. We were lucky enough to have Nafiu who ensured that we were looked after like no others. We had some fantastic trips including 3 boat trips and excellent dining experiences. The waiting on staff were brilliant including AJ and his “yard of tea” which was so entertaining. Other staff including Manu went the extra mile to make our holiday excellent.

We had high expectation for our stay at Heritance and almost every single one was exceeded. Our accommodation was beautiful and spacious. The facilities were well looked after and the staff was fantastic. Housekeeping was brilliant and our dedicated cleaner left stunning sand art on our doorstep everyday which we all loved. Our kids particularly loved the Koka Kids Club, especially Tima, Khaing and Momo who all looked after our kids and made the holiday very special (and relaxing for us parents!). Our butler Iru was also fantastic, very quick and responsive with our requests. The food options were plentiful, the all inclusive made things so relaxed and easy, and we loved spending afternoons by the pool. Our one critique is that our beach villa didn't have a beach view due to lots of vegetation.
