Reethi Faru Resort

Die Reise und der Aufenthalt in Reethi Faru bleibt unvergesslich in unseren Erinnerungen. Es gab nichts zu bemängeln. Wir hatten nur Frühstück gebucht, was sich für uns als richtig herausgestellt hat. Somit konnten wir jeden Abend in einem der Restaurants auf der Insel Essen. Bei Vollpension oder All Inclusive wäre das Nachtessen nur im Hauptrestaurant (Buffet) möglich gewesen, bzw. in einem der weiteren Restaurants nur gegen Aufpreis. Die Zimmer sind gut gepflegt und ordentlich gereinigt. Kaffee, Tee und Wasser wird täglich kostenlos im Zimmer nachgefüllt. Room-Service zwei Mal am Tag, was wir jedoch nicht beansprucht haben, indem wir jeweils nach der Morgenreinigung "bitte nicht stören" an die Türe gehängt haben. Die Mitarbeiter sind ausnahmslos zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir verbrachten viel Zeit auch im Tauchcenter (wir machten eine Brevetierung). Die Leitung des Tauchcenters steht unter schweizer Führung und genau diese schweizerische Qualität an Zuverlässigkeit wird auch an den Tag gelegt.

Bella isola verde e tenuta in stile maldiviano. Pulizia eccellente. Camere belle e confortevoli. Escursioni troppo costose. Acqua ai pasti da pagare. Viaggio per raggiungere il villaggio in volo domestico, troppo lungo 4 ore di attesa all'andata e 5 al ritorno

We decided to stay at Reethi Faru during our honeymoon. It was two weeks of the best vacation we ever had. First time Maldives and we were really impressed by the beautiful Island. It has a great reef to snorkel and see fish, corals in every size and color. But also a jungle like part with chicken and agama running around as well as flying foxes. We walked barefoot during the entire stay. The Hotel provides everything you need and we enjoyed the rather casual and leasure atmosphere. It was high standard for us. The garden villa was perfect, with lots of space and privacy. The sport center and diving center offer a vatiety of activities, has lots of experience and nice instructors. The staff no matter where, was very friendly, helpful and very committed to make our stay unforgettable. Absolutely exceptional was the Buffet in the main Restaurant. The variety of international and local dishes was amazing. Everything home made like the bread, Currys, desserts and a la minute corners for pasta, indian dishes or mexican taco. I could go on forever. The chefs from around the world gave their creativity and heart as well as serving special requests also in case of allergy or food intolerance. The karaoke nights were fun and we recommend the technical tour for behind the scenes info. One wish to the owner and Management: keep the nature as it is. The Maldives do not need more water villas or such. That will be your USP in the long run. We definitely want to come back!

The best Margarita cocktails made by bartender Charit that I have tried in all my travels were made in this wonderful place, where I will definitely return!

Booked via Travelbag in the UK, flights with Qatar Airways. Worldwide traveller with over 40 years of experience and over 14 trips to the Maldives. Reception: Excellent greeting on arrival with drums, drinks and a fresh towel. Check is was really quick and after a short wait, it was off to our villa. Generally, the staff seemed quite helpful, depending on who you spoke to, as some of them seemed a little overwhelmed, depending on the question you asked. The check out information is very vague and you have to find out for yourself right at the end of your stay. It was a bonus that we were allowed to keep the room on for an extra couple of hours on the last day. We didn't like the fact that they over reinforce that your AI stops dead at 12. Accommodation: We were allocated a room in the 300s which was perfect. The rooms are a good size, a comfortable bed and a really good open air bathroom. The decking was a good size with chairs leading out to sunbeds on the beach. The bonus of this location was the beach didn't have much footfall which made it feel more private than other locations. Room was kep super clean! Island Surrounds: Reethi is very lush with lots of trees and plants. Lots of wildlife make this their home which adds to the excellent surroundings. The beach was kept very clean. Restaurants and Bars: If you have the opportunity to add the "Dine Around" package then do it! This gives you the ability to eat in the Al a Carte restaurants. The food in these restaurants is the best we have had in 20 years of Maldives visits. It's excellent quality and quantity and the Chef's clearly take pride in their work. We only had breakfast a couple of times in the Buffet restaurant, and this was fairly average. The main bar was good and the bar staff were welcoming and nice to chat to. The outdoor seat cushions need to be cleaned, they were quite disgusting. This was confirmed after watching a very overweight man wearing swimming trunks fall asleep sweating all over the cushions, yuk. We did use some of the small beach bars but found the bar staff a little unwelcoming. It seemed to be a case of put your drink together and then go back to their phone to scroll tik tok. We didn't like the idea of sitting in deck chairs either as this was the only type of seating. Again, after people have sat on them in their swim wear sweating. Staff: The ladies who swept the island were wonderful. Always super busy and always with a smile and a hello on passing. Bar staff in the main bar were great however they were let down a little by the beach bar staff who didn't seemed interested and spent more time on their phones. Waiters were great and willing to chat which we like. Chef's came to see how your meal was regularly and we liked that as they were always willing to tweak dishes to your liking to improve them where they could. A few shout outs and apologies if we don't have the names 100% correct. Suresh in Reeth Grill. A really lovely guy wi

As most of the reviews agree, everything about Reethi faru is great. We stayed in Garden villa 225 - excellent finish, very comfortable bed, nice and quiet (and cool) - and very close to the beach, and the best snorkeling entry points. Garden rooms don't get dedicated sun loungers, but we were always able to get a couple near Nala Bar. We were B&B, and ate our dinners in Reethi Grill and Dhiyavaru - friendly staff, and outstanding food. The dive shop are friendly and helpful, and we had two good snorkeling trips with them (including a reef manta). What many reviews fail to say, is just how good the Reethi Faru house reef is! The coral has (like everywhere) suffered, but there are areas of good re-growth. However, the fish are amazing! Depending on the time, tide, and light, we mainly snorkeled the reef edge from entry point I to III (and back, in the shallows) and the reef edge from entry point VIII to VI. The very best spot we found (for fish) was around midday to enter at point 1, and go left (north) along the reef edge for about 50m toward the north-east point. (But you ONLY want to do this when there is little current running). In 8 days of snorkeling (twice a day) we saw (photographed) 187 species of fish, 3 species of shark (lots of black tips, one grey, two lemon), and 3 species of ray. Also two cephalopods and several hawksbill turtles.
