Ailafushi Hotels with Pools

The resort and amenities are excellent but a few things were terribly wrong. Being located in the middle of the ocean and constantly exposed to the prevailing weather, one would have thought that the building standards would be up to scratch but sadly they are not. During strong wind and rain, our room flooded. Water entered under doors, around windows and through the ceiling . The curtains, coach and floating flooring were drenched. This is not a new problem as the floating floor boards were deteriorated and loose from this happening regularly.We were moved to another room but still had to endure problems with continuous internet and power outages, fridge and lighting issues. For a reasonably new resort it is a thumbs down for the reasons noted. No offers from management for our great inconvenience and wet belongings!

It takes 20 minutes by speedboat from Male. The island is clean and there are no bugs. The ratio of Westerners to Asians is about half and half, there are many elderly couples, and it is very quiet. Everyone greets each other when they pass by, which was nice. There are delicious curries, pastas, and meats that suit Japanese tastes. If you snorkel from the villa, it is so deep that you can't even touch the water, and the waves are so strong that you get seasick. There are hardly any fish, so I think the pool is more relaxing. It was a bit disappointing that you can see other islands and buildings from the island. It can't be helped since it's close to Male. But I think this price is reasonable for an all-inclusive resort in the Maldives. The cleaning staff was also very kind and unobtrusive, coming twice a day to clean up the place. The host contacted us on our last day even though it was a day off, and was very responsible and kind, so we had a comfortable stay.
