"Great views which was exceptional. The food was good but was not always hot. The toilets smelled in the room and there was building work taking place outside the hotel. That said, the people were lovely. Please also note there is no alcoholic drinks served on the atol and there is a separate beach for tourists and you must cover up as a female when going to the beach."

"Luxurious with great value , Private and Exclusive Our stay at Furaveri was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The island is beautiful, peaceful, and feels wonderfully private and exclusive, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. A special thank you to Kas, who welcomed us warmly as soon as we stepped off the seaplane. His friendly attitude and professionalism made us feel at home immediately and set the tone for a fantastic stay. The villas were spacious, comfortable, and well maintained, providing everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The island itself is stunning, with pristine beaches, crystal-clear water, and plenty of places to enjoy the natural beauty. There was also a great range of exciting and interesting activities to choose from, ranging from high octane watersports to kayaking and leisurely snorkeling tours with local marine life, ensuring there was always something enjoyable to do, whether you wanted adventure or simply to experience the incredible marine environment. Considering the exceptional quality of the accommodation, service, facilities, and experiences on offer, we felt Furaveri offered excellent value for money compared with many other Maldives resorts. Thank you to Kas and the entire Furaveri team for making our vacation such a memorable experience. We would happily recommend Furaveri to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and welcoming resort in the Maldives, and we hope to return in the future."

"Best vacation ever! This was one of the most peaceful and relaxing vacations we've ever had. The food was excellent with so many delicious options to choose from, and the entire resort was spotless. Our room was cleaned twice a day, which made our stay even more comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is adding a few more drinks, like beer or soft drinks, to the in-room minibar. Other than that, everything was wonderful. We had an amazing experience and would definitely come back again!"

"Dusit Thani is absolutely a gem and amazing. This is my 2nd time here. First the butler and the staff are all very friendly. My original butler Naan even came by to say hi to us. Saleem our butler this time was helpful and easy to get ahold of. We had 24/7 Whatsapp access and he took care of everything for us including logistics for leaving, sea plane, dinner and activities. The house reef was spectacular. We stayed in a overwater villa again and it was well appointed, clean, modern. In pool breakfast and a trip via jet ski ride to the sand bar is a must. I highly recommend this resort"
