Review for Furaveri:
my stay and experience at Furaveri was super amazing, and I am very impressed by the Furaveri Maldives and its management. The Furaveri staff were seamless in arranging the airport transfers with the seaplane. I am impressed with the way they handled all the luggage, and co-ordination of everything, both during arrivals and departures. It didn’t feel like a burden to board the seaplane and get of it. It was extremely well organized by them and the trans-Maldivian airways. The resort itself is super amazing, the rooms were even bigger and better than it seems in the photos. Trust me, the picture is underrated. You will feel like a whole new world once you step into the resort. You need a minimum of 4 to 5 days to explore everything in the resort. They have free kayaks, paddle boats, etc. Snorkeling was also free in our paid package. The best highlight is the maintenance of the resort and rooms. The new rooms, we stayed at sunset ocean water pool villa (room 816, and beach pool villa (room 909, were both amazingly clean and huge, with more than the facilities you can even think of. They were on the clear waterfront, with no obstructions or any view blockages at all. The sunset views were lovely from both the rooms. The other resort facilities were also great, the Mexican restaurant is beautiful, the photography spots at the different parts of the island are amazing. We couldn’t get a spa appointment though. They said it's full, haha. As per our paid package, we had 24-hour drinks and bar food. This was really the experience booster. Glad we took it. Their drinks menu is extensive, although the food menu and food quality are fair. They need improvement in their food and foodservice. The unlimited 24-hour drinks and selection of bar food was still a good option. At the udhares bar, I highly recommend consulting with sid, rohit, and also entry. Especially side and Rohit, they are amazing at serving drinks and fulfilling your orders. Room service at the resort was super slow though, so please order anything 30 minutes to 1 hour in advance. Even the golf cart/buggy car service is very slow in the evening. In the mornings, the service timing is perfect. We took the fishing tour, and the experience was great. They help you, teach you, and are patient people. Please go for it. Since we did this, we canceled the sunset cruise, as they were similar, and we did not waste time on that, rather use the time to explore resort activities, and use our 24-hour drinks package, haha. At the reservation assistance, may jean is very warm and welcoming, and helpful. However, someone called is a bit out of the way. He got frustrated on asking questions, and his email language is also not proper considering the amount of money we are paying, for the 5 star deluxe resort island. You need to bear with your customers, you cannot be rude sir. Please review that. Overall, i suggest this resort as a very good option, also the price is very good compared to the rooms and facilities of the resort. The guests were mixed, with a lot of europeans and australians, which was a delight to see. Overall, stay here is great. It's beautiful and seamless, except the few drawbacks i already mentioned above.
