We have just returned from a wonderful 10 night stay over new year & my birthday. Every moment of our stay was wonderful, full of fun, great service, wonderful staff & great food. The island is beautiful, the bridge connecting both islands is fantastic, a great way to see the marine life and the castaway beach in the middle is in a dreamy location with a great reef for snorkelling! The staff are amazing each and everyone of them. From the staff that take care of the rooms, (we had an amazing sunrise over the water villa, which I managed to wake every morning to watch the sun rise with my coffee!) Absolutely idyllic location! The buggy drivers always smiling & happy to pick us up on route to where ever we were going and also point out the wildlife, Maldivian flying foxes (bats) to the gorgeous sea life! The bar staff in the Beach cafe, always smiling when serving our drinks & food, the super fun karaoke in the bar early evenings, the DJ playing my kind of music! (how did he know??!!) The restaurant staff, making our evening meals so enjoyable and relaxing! The spa staff were fabulous too offering amazing massages and facials! All the staff behind the scenes helping to make our stay on their island so very special. Honestly we cannot thank you all enough! Special mention about the New Year's Eve celebrations, honestly if I could spend every New Year's Eve in this way, it was perfect, the drinks on the beach, the gala dinner, the food was incredible, the many different choices, the beautifully presented dining room & then back to the castaway beach for the DJ, dancing & fireworks, with the most incredible sunset was beyond amazing. AND VERY PERSONAL SPECIAL MENTION & ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF that helped make my BIG birthday celebration on the Castaway beach so incredible, so wonderful. The food was incredible, the service so personable and special. It really was a night to remember and one I did not want to end! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Same time next year PLEASE!! AGAIN thank you for thee most incredible experience on The Residence Dhigurah, our family has made the most beautiful of memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. We will be back well before my next big birthday, for sure! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
