Reethi Beach Resort recensioner

everything was good except the check out situation they could not get payed from online booking, so i had to pay again with cash.

The most amazing staff ever. I travelled with my 2 daughters and I can not thank the staff enough for their amazing hospitality. We told them about the allergies my elder daughter has and they took extra care about that. Big thanks to the restaurant staff including the chefs for their hospitality.

Amazing house reef and beach, friendly employees, good quality and diversity of meal at the buffet. Don’t take sunrise villas because dilapidated and noisy ( old air con, and bad side of island in front of boats and seaplanes dock). Extras too expensives (massages, restaurants and beach diners, dive center,…)

Our first Maldives experience which followed a busy 12 day tour of SriLanka. The ocean is stunning, snorkeling with turtles and sharks was absolutely thrilling. Breakfast and the food in all the restaurants was good. The local reef fish was wonderful. The four days has gone so quickly, we are really sad to be leaving.

Its very good island I like it very much and the housekeeping staff mr vikram singh. The food services is good and it has so much beautifull placeses. It has a diving center that is very good. The island has activity center so it has tennis squash and table tennis too.

Reethi beach was absolutely beautiful. All the staff in the restaurant were so friendly and food was amazing! A big thank you to the amazing pictures from studio 7, capturing wonderful moments with family and my engagement. Definitely recommended this resort for a vacation.

One of the most wonderful places for holiday, for washing your brain, enjoying the beautiful house reef at snorkeling. Environment, service is perfect. I have to highlight the fantastic restaurant with hugh selection of asian an european foods, attention to the guests wishes from Suranga and Binara - they are managing one of the best cuisine on the Maldives!

We love Reethi beach for the relaxed atmosphere and fantastic staff. The food is always interesting and good quality and the service is speedy and personalised. This time we were here for the Christmas Eve and new year celebrations. The food choice and quality was mind blowing. Practically anything you could think of was available. The restaurant staff had gone to town to make a special night. Shout outs especially to Rajesa, Aihem, Riibe, Arun and especially to Rubel who runs the omelette service each breakfast with such efficiency. Thank you! The island had been decorated with twinkly lights and lots of games and attractions were provided. It was very festive. We are returning guests having been here several times and it’s so nice to be remembered by the staff. Bar men Sandeep and Nishad and the bar waiting staff, the other Nishad all recognised us and made us feel welcome back. There was no ‘return guest treats’ as there have been in previous years, except a meal, which is a shame. The new manager was visible and present. But he did not come and chat to us. The natural environment here is so lovely and the reef is teeming with fish big and small. We saw dolphins, turtles and Eagle Rays and much more. Truly special. One final note about problem solving. My other half forgot a lead to charge his camera, a mini USB, so not that unusual. He went to reception to see if he could borrow one. They couldn’t find one. So quite despondent, he came back to the bar thinking he would be camera less all holiday. I asked Nishad the bar tender if he could help us find one and sure enough within minutes he was back with one in hand. Which he kindly lent us for our stay. Literally saving the holiday for my other half. So if you want a problem solving ask Nishad! Big big thanks to him. Thank you for having us and I hope to be back.

I had a fabulous stay at Reethi Beach. It was the first time that I stayed in a Maldivian's island hotel, so I don't know how are the others resorts, but yet I had such a good time. I stayed 4 nights in a Sunset Deluxe Villa, and I really think it's the best choice you can make there! On this side of the island, the beach is few steps to your villa, and the house reef is absolutely amazing -and I've seen other reefs in the Maldives-. The villa is big and comfy, but what I really loved is the open air bathroom. I was really amazed by the buffet, so many good and various food from all over the world! And the Asian night -on Mondays only- was incredible. I really felt that the cooking team really enjoys what they're doing, and are happy to share what they prepared for you. There are a lot of things that are in extra, but you didn't come all the way here to save money right? The only real things that annoyed me was that if you're not on an all inclusive plan, a bottle of water is charged 3$.... But well, my stay at Reethi was way too nice to get stuck on that point. I would definitely come back there and stay at least a week!

Having just retuned this weekend from my 13th trip at Reethi Beach its time for the annual review. This was my first visit under new management and from a few photos I had seen prior to going of changes I was unsure what to expect, I can safely say there was no need to worry at all. Upon arrival and after checking in I was shown to my room, I usually just head off on my own as I know the island so well but I was shown one of the new villas en route and then also got to have a look at a water villa also renovated and can happily say that both look very good, the beach villas will have a new look decor which looks very smart and the bathroom has also been completely redone as well and looks very nice, there was also a small pool out front as well, I was informed that not all villas will get these as some people prefer not to have one. The water villa was being worked on so i didn't get to see the bathroom, but i did get shown the new hammock area over the water out the back which looks good for relaxing on. I had requested a room in the 160 area as usual as its a good location for reef entry and also is in the section of detached villas and was happy to find i had been allocated room 160 (i have had most of the villas between 154 and 166 over my trips). The room was expected needing some TLC but it was clean and working (other than the tv gets no channels) which is the main thing, and once the island shuts in April it will get the same treatment as all of the others with a fresh new look. I had my first walk around the island and was happy to see how good the beach currently is all around the island, especially from the watersports area round to the sunset bar as for the last few years to walk around here you had to go high above the sand bags, but you can now walk low around the shore on a nice big beach, the area in front of the sunset villas near the sunset bar has also recovered to a nice big sandy area. The inner part of the island was where i was interested to see as that was where i had seen photos prior to going but seeing it in person I can see that it is an improvement and doesn't look anywhere near as bad as photos had portrayed it. The paths have also been widened all around as well. During my time there i saw older trees being cut down and replaced by what look more like palm tree type trees which will be a lot airier and easier to manage. The food in the main restaurant seems to of improved since my previous visit and certain theme nights are very good, for example on street market night the back area is also opened up with around 5 or 6 extra stalls doing specific things like Tempura, Burgers, Kebabs and various other street market type foods, along with the usual food area with other stuff as well. The staff as usual are a huge credit to the island with their friendliness and helpfulness, and for me it always feels so much better when I am remembered from previous visits (i have been going there longer than a lot of the staff

Villa was clean and well equipped. Everyone is so friendly, polite and helpful, that I was surprised. Food is delicious and varied. Beach is comfortable: with soft sand and corals growing in about 50 meters from the shore, so they far enough to interfere swimming, but close enough for snorkeling. The house reef is awesome: lots of beautiful fish, stingrays, sharks, even manta rays. The diving center is excellent, many activities are offered to guests, you can also watch dolphins, swim with turtles and manta rays.

We just spent 10 days at Reethi Beach Resort. The resort is unspoilt lush and gorgeous with a rustic charm and a relaxed atmosphere. We loved our accommodation right on the beach. The food was good with lots of variety. We would like to mention that this resort has a wonderful team who makes you feel special all the time. They are all really nice, attentive and friendly people. We can’t mention all but special gratitude to the service received by Chef Binara always with his wonderful smile at the main restaurant. A huge highlight were the dolphin and the sandbank trips with Visham. He made it a magical experience. Another highlight was the Coconut Spa. Thanks to their team for a warm and relaxing service, especially for Shivani. I loved the surprise for my special birthday… it was lovely! The whole holiday was carefree and relaxing. We will miss Reethi Beach Resort!!!

We were here for 6 nights and had a fantastic time, arriving and departing by seaplane which is a fantastic experience. The snorkelling is great and we saw rays, sharks and lots of colourful fish species straight off the beach. We were ‘all inclusive’ and this proved to be the right choice. We are not big drinkers but did enjoy the local beer and cocktails. Food for every meal was excellent with lots of choice including lovely Sri Lankan dishes and fantastic salads from the Reethi Beach gardens. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We were served by Ibba in the restaurant most of the time. He provided great service. We also used the Sunset Bar for a beer at lunchtime and a cocktail in the evening. Sandeep was fantastic in every way and we enjoyed learning more about the Maldives from him. We heard that the resort is being upgraded in the spring of 2025. We hope that this island doesn’t lose its rustic charm.
