Upon arriving at the island, we immediately felt at ease, even more so than back home in Europe during the pandemic. Our stay at the hotel was a refreshing escape in a cozy and comfortable paradise. Everything, from the friendly staff and spotless rooms to the delicious food and fun activities, made our stay unforgettable. There was nothing to complain about - everything was top-notch and welcoming. The attentive staff always listened to our requests and made sure our stay was worry-free. The Guest Relations team truly made us feel at home on the island. Special thanks to Martine for her kindness and assistance. The restaurant staff at Mèlange, Phat Chameleon, and Suoq Oven - Naufal, Yeldana, Marzhan, Ahmed, and others - were incredibly hospitable and added to our dining experience. Elsa's yoga classes made our vacation not only enjoyable but also healthy. Biking and water sports added excitement to our trip. The live music at the Hub bar in the evenings was a treat for music lovers. We definitely plan on returning in the future.
We had an absolutely amazing experience at the beach. The entire staff went above and beyond to take care of all our needs, particularly Navin and Sajith from the dining room. Our room was absolutely fantastic and well-maintained throughout our stay. The food was exceptional and the staff's attention to detail only enhanced our experience. It was definitely worth every penny and we consider it to be a top-notch resort!
We recently stayed at The Residence Falhumaafushi and we were extremely pleased with our experience. The transportation to and from the island was smooth and stress-free, with transfers being punctual and well-coordinated. The island, villas, and common areas were all spotless and well-maintained. We stayed in villa 300 and were impressed with the spacious and functional overwater villa. Joynal was always cheerful and attentive when cleaning our room, making sure to check if we needed anything each day during our stay. The highlight of our experience was the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff. We had wonderful interactions with Nafiu, Ravi, Ahmed, Zahuwa, Sanooj, April, and Kishan, who all went above and beyond to make our stay special. Overall, The Residence Falhumaafushi provided a true 5-star experience. Thank you for hosting us, and we look forward to returning in the future!
