Vacaciones espectaculares en Mchchafushi
10.0La habitación era increíble, con unas vistas preciosas y para ver un atardecer mágico. Acceso directo al mar y poder hacer Snorkel. El personal encantador y muy pendientes cualquier cosa que necesitaras como Siyam y Shafiq del Coral Bar. El buffet muy variado con comida muy rica.Lo recomiendo al 100.
Una estancia en el paraiso si te gusta el mar
10.0El resort, snorkel desde las habitaciones, amabilidad del personal, las habitaciones increibles. La comida muy buena. Las vistas!!
Fantastic snorkeling on a great reef. Resort logistics need work.
6.0The reef. This resort is sitting right on top of a terrific reef that is easily reached snorkeling from your over water bungalow! Spectacular! We also took excursions to snorkel with Manta Rays and Whale Sharks. The Manta Rays were incredible, entertaining us for more than an hour. Unfortunately the Whale sharks were shy. All the staff at the resort were extremely helpful and friendly.
− Seaplane transfers are fun, but Centara's Seaplane transfer logistics were abysmal. We stayed in Male for two days prior to our stay. We were able to do the transfer anytime that day. Despite this, the resort was unable to confirm a time for our transfer until after 7pm the night before. OK. The time they gave us was 8:30am check in for a 9:30am flight. When we checked in at the airport, we were given tickets for a 1:30 pm flight! A total waste of our time and a horrible intro to the resort. While waiting for our flight at the seaplane port, Centara Marketing sent me an email asking how it was going? I gave them an update expressing my disappointment. I have still not had any response to my email. Seaplane departure was a known bad connection. Upon arrival the luggage delivery service sent us to a paid waiting lounge for our initial 3 hour wait - probably the worst lounge experience I have ever had. This at least made our second 2 1/2 hour wait in the actual airport lounge seem luxurious.
Guest review
9.0Friendly staff, diving centre is well equiped and its staff are amazing, the Thai and Italian restaurants were amazing. The breakfast and lunch buffet was ok for first 2 days, we gave remarks and we noticed immediate quality improvement. The room was great, always clean, and comfortable. I loved the independant dressing room and toilet and the external shower.
− Nothing.
PARADISO TERRESTRE
10.0Paradiso terrestre. Spiagge bianche indescrivibili. Resort organizzato in maniera perfetta. Personale impeccabile dalla reception ai ragazzi che dí occupavano della ns. villa beach. Colazione a buffet spettacolare per qualità e varietà. Tre scelte per la cena: cucina thai italiana e buffet. Tutto ottimo e di qualità. La ns. Villa beach affacciata alla spiaggia uno spettacolo. Pulizia esemplare. Un grazie particolare a Fitte del diving per la sua cortesia e gentilezza oltre alla simpatia e professionalità e a Giuseppe della ristorazione. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccezionale. Da consigliare assolutamente.

9.0Il Reef intorno era spettacolare
− Sala da pranzo principale; nella formula all inclusive il refill in stanza era solo di birre, per il vino bisognava andare al bar necessariamente.
