Hotels met Pools in Raa Atoll, Maldives

This is a true review that comes straight from my heart and is not 1% sponsored. Ifuru Resort is a 5-star luxury resort rated 100 out of 100 that I highly recommend. The facilities, underwater environment, restaurant, bar, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and beauty of the island were all excellent. There are no water villas, but the beach villa is very close to the beach. As soon as you enter the water, you can see colorful corals and giant clams, and the house reef is close and great. We snorkeled every day and had long free swims with turtles, eagle rays, and black tip sharks. It's like this even if you just go out in front of the beach villa instead of taking a paid excursion. First of all, Ifuru Resort, newly opened in 2023! Located in Raa Atoll, Maldives, we traveled by seaplane + speedboat. Since it's a new resort, there aren't many reviews, so I was worried and decided to refer to the resort's official Instagram and YouTube introductions. Among Koreans, we seemed to be the first to visit. When I actually went there, it was a 5-star resort so great that I could give it 100 out of 100! Stylish and luxurious room conditions and facilities (even the hair dryer is Dyson), truly warm and friendly staff (I still really miss Ari, Rocky, angel, Juli, Nikki, Quineee, kuva, Rudy isuru, muni, RN Adhla) , Mode, a very kind female employee at the waterfront restaurant who always had her hair neatly braided (I suddenly can't remember her name), and Rochelle, a very kind and warm general manager, who remembered and looked after each and every resort customer, and cared for and loved the employees. We were impressed by the appearance, and the resort staff were very courteous and friendly, as if they were guests invited to their own home, and they did their best to take care of us. That's why we really want to go to Ifuru Resort again. I still look at videos and photos taken at Ifuru every day.

We really liked the hotel. The staff is very helpful and eager to help with everything. The food is excellent! The selection isn't huge, but they have themed dinners every day. In addition to the main restaurant, there are three other à la carte restaurants included in the price of your stay. You can make unlimited reservations. The food never gets boring. I'd also like to highlight the waitresses at the main restaurant: Aikerim, Shau, Zama, and Tiart. They were very attentive. We stayed for 11 nights. There were two free excursions, which added variety to your vacation. One of them was a dolphin-watching trip. Fortunately, we found out that things don't always go as planned. We also attended group yoga and stretching classes in the morning. We really enjoyed them. The hotel generally strives to add variety to your stay. A DJ plays at sunset in the bar almost every evening, and sometimes there's live music in the restaurant or on the beach. Over the course of our 11 days, they even showed a movie on the beach once, there was a drum and folk dance show once, and there was a nighttime pool party once. We were looking for a hotel where we wouldn't get bored, and we weren't disappointed! The room includes a minibar with wine, gin, whiskey, chocolates, beer, cola, and other drinks. The hotel has its own app with all the information, including a daily schedule. You can book restaurants and excursions through the app. The only downside for us was that by the end of our stay, we were incredibly bitten by mosquitoes. There were a lot of them near our villa. Since the bathroom is outside, you're likely to get bitten by mosquitoes while you're doing your business there. Of course, we'd come across this information. We prepared ourselves and brought mosquito spray. But in the end, everyone was still bitten 🥲. Perhaps there were mosquitoes only near our villa. We saw the island being treated with chemicals twice in the evening. But it seems the treatment didn't reach the villa.

I came here for the second time and it was very good. It was still the same wonderful experience! The connection to Male was seamless, and the lady was waiting for us at the door. We got in the Mercedes and headed for the seaplane. The lounge was super luxurious on the second floor. The seaplane took 45 minutes to get to the hotel. The CEO who came to pick us up at the door was a Frenchman who had just taken office this year. He would patrol every day and say hello to us. Yolanda is our Curator and is very responsible. It is very convenient to communicate with her directly on WeChat. We chose to eat at CafeUmi on the first night. The dinner at the lighthouse behind was very romantic. I recommend the steak, which was very tender. The third night was at the Fish Market. I don’t recommend steamed lobster, which was a bit too old. The last night was in time for the Easter gala, which was a very good buffet. We saw a lot of dolphins when we went out to sea, and we saw manta rays while snorkeling. The overall feeling was great, I love it

The hotel has very good food options and all are very well made. The staffs are very attentive and friendly, always coming to chat with us and giving advice on activities and history of Maldives. I’m The hotel offers good variety of water sports so that we won’t get bored. The sand is fine on the beach and the water quality is very suitable for snorkelling. We can easily find lots of fish by swimming a hundred meters from the shore. We tried SPAs, table tennis, snooker, gym facilities. We joined scuba diving, fishing and they were all very well organised. The only shortfall is the pest problem. Lots of mosquitoes caused serious problems at the beginning. The staff should have warned guests seriously about this so that we can get prepared (closing doors and apply repellant) otherwise you will get really bad bites by various bugs. We stayed at beach villa and every night it’s like a battle of all kinds of bugs - gigantic cockroaches, snails, worms, caterpillars, flies, lizards, spiders, red ants and sand bugs. I even found one flying ant in bed one night. This really ******* me during the entire trip.

#Maldives #Jade Faro Fuji is measured as follows 【Overview】 It belongs to a small island (personal preference), about 15-20 minutes walk around the island for a week, and about 15-20 minutes walk at the farthest two points. There are 80 water houses + sand houses, which means that there are up to 200 guests on the island, so basically there is no need to queue up for eating and playing. 【Meals】 A total of 6 restaurants on the island cover teppanyaki, BBQ, buffet, Asian restaurant and Mediterranean taste. It is an island that takes care of the Chinese stomach very much. Tonyin Gong, curry is the first choice; barbecue, fried rice, fried rice; all kinds of small cake desserts are good. (PS: Asian restaurant has sweet and sour ridge!) 【Entertainment】 Because it is a small island, there are limited places to play. But enough to meet the needs of ordinary travelers, there are no powered water projects (sailboats, windsurfing, glass boats...) motorboats, simple water towing projects. The spa, because I have experienced the Southeast Asian style of other islands too many times before, this island has not been particularly experienced, personally feel that it is almost the same. 【Diving】 This island is definitely an island that is ”not fun to look at”. If you want to seek the glass jelly sea, you need to be very clean underwater. The underwater is very clean and there will be not many fish, because there is nothing to eat. On the contrary, if the water grass is lush and there are many fish, then it must look black. The island is the only long trestle bridge built throughout Madai, leading directly to the best dive spot. From this dive site, you can reach the deep trenches about 10 meters away, which is great for snorkeling and shallowness. But because the shore is far away in this dive, timid tourists may feel afraid to step on it. But every house is equipped with a life jacket, and it is not a problem to go down in a life jacket. 【Summary】 1. As the first ”hexagon warrior” on the double list, the one-price all-inclusive is very cost-effective (average daily 13000+RMB all included), the Mini Bar in the room is filled every day, including 4 bottles of wine (really can't finish drinking, 4 bottles of wine every day in the wine cabinet, champagne, white Portuguese, red Portuguese, rose wine, ”Alcoholic” players can drink directly back to the ticket. 2. Because of its comprehensiveness, the island is not much different in the off-peak season, and the room is basically full all year round. The New Year price is the peak price, and the design of the sofa bed is also exempt from the inconvenience of 3 people crowding a big bed. 3. The most guests on this island are Chinese, Italian and Russian. So it is very convenient to have 2 Chinese butlers. 4. Because the island is very balanced in all aspects, it is very suitable for friends who come to Madai for parent-child leisure travel and family vacation travel. It is also very suitable if you don't pursue high-stimulating couples. But those who pursue a certain ultimate gameplay and N brush Madai are not recommended. 5. Secondly, this island is far from Male, and it takes about40-50 minutes to fly by water. This is a matter of opinion. Because he has never taken a seaplane with children, and I like to overlook the islands of Madai very much, so I deliberately chose the far island that needs to fly by water. All the beauty of Madai you imagine, you can feel in all aspects of this island, there is no obvious shortcoming (about $1800 for three people in Shuifei). 【Tips】: 1. After dinner, you can go to the sunset bar at your own expense and take a drink at the terrace lamp. Because the sea is dark after sunset, there are only two spotlights in that location, so a large number of fish will gather. Just add some alcohol to this scenery, you have what you want ～ 2. Buy diving foot socks in advance, because the water house is very clean, all dead corals, it is not convenient to use foot shackles, and the bare feet are very tied. The price of this thing on the island is high, 38USD/double, JD.com 30RMB/double. 3. Put down your mobile phone, watch more beautiful scenery, enjoy more interaction between people, people and nature. [Love] [Fireworks] [Celebration]

A beautiful hotel with beautiful nature and sea. The unforgettable impressions were given on a tour with dolphins, they turned out to be very many. Reef house is very beautiful, lots of fish. There was a shark in the water villas. Great spa for those who want to get a full relaxation. There was a tour of the staff, it was very interesting to see the work of the island from within. Here everything from leadership to staff, try to make you really forget everything and rest. We want to allocate our host Sid - always was on communication, perfectly performed his work. Thank you very much for all, come back here again.

my wife and I had a perfect honeymoon at You&Me. our host, Nittu, was fantastic with us throughout our stay and was always very attentive and helpful so that we lacked nothing and we had the best of experiences. The food in any of the restaurants is also fantastic and has a huge variety. The experience at the H2O restaurant (underwater) is exceptional but don't have high expectations about the food, it has to improve a lot, it has a very low quality compared to the place/restaurant. In conclusion, don't waste a lot of time looking and comparing different resorts for your honeymoon, at You&Me you will find the perfect place. thank you so much for everything

The trip and stay in Reethi Faru will remain unforgettable in our memories. There was nothing to complain about. We only booked breakfast, which turned out to be right for us. So we were able to eat in one of the restaurants on the island every evening. With full board or all inclusive, dinner would only have been possible in the main restaurant (buffet), or in one of the other restaurants only for an additional charge. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned properly. Coffee, tea and water are refilled daily in the room free of charge. Room service twice a day, which we didn't use because we put ”do not disturb” on the door after the morning cleaning. The staff are without exception courteous and helpful. We also spent a lot of time in the diving center (we got certified). The management of the diving center is under Swiss management and it is precisely this Swiss quality of reliability that is demonstrated.

When we arrived at Male Airport, Coracora's colleagues would take us to Seaplane to check in, and then we would go to Seaplane's lounge to rest and wait for boarding. (Seaplane needs to pay for it at your own expense and email coracora to arrange it). Seaplane takes about 1 hour to Coracora. Upon arrival, we will receive a welcome drink and a butler will take us to visit the island facilities. The island is very small but well-equipped. The most recommended is the restaurant on the island. You can order all the food on the menu (all inclusive packages in some resorts limit you to order 3-4 dishes), which is not enough. You can also order grab and go to bring food back to your room at no additional charge. There is also a Coffee bar and a Drink bar where you can order drinks at any time. The snorkeling reef is ok for novices, but not bad. Snorkeling equipment is provided free of charge on the island, but be sure to check whether it is damaged before borrowing it, because if it is damaged, you will be charged a hefty fee (I fell into the trap T^T). But overall, I would recommend this resort and it is very cost-effective. 

The water house is also very good. The location is next to the breakwater, which is also the outermost part of the water house. It is very convenient to swim out and snorkel. There are still relatively few coral reefs, most of which are dead, but there are still many fish. Small sharks can often be seen here, which is also a rare experience. The only bad thing is that there are sometimes a lot of sea**** floating here, which smells very strong. It would be much better if you live in a water house in the middle.
