Medhufushi Island Resort

We found this resort really outstanding incl Room, surrounding, pool and of-course the overall service. Everything seems out of world. Check-in handling by Sameer and the night DJ by Bunty finished just now was excellent

This was by far the BEST holiday I’ve ever been on, everyone was so friendly and kind, the staff was so caring and noticed I haven’t come out for breakfast and immediately came over to see if there was anything they could do for me to make me feel more comfortable, they turned up with cough sweets and topped up my water. The food was the best I’ve ever had in any resort. I was so sad to go but will DEFINITELY be returning. Just the break I needed, I could type all day with all the little things they did to make my stay all the more enjoyable. My hat goes off to this resort.

Our experience at Medhufushi Island Resort was deeply disappointing and frustrating from the very start. The reception staff were absolutely terrible—unhelpful, puppets, and completely unfit for their roles! Throughout our stay, I had to visit the reception multiple times to sort out issues, which should never happen on a relaxing holiday… We couldn’t sleep, because our skin was on fire, so to speak. We initially thought the itching was from mosquitoes, but when we went to the reception, they suspected it was from bedbugs. We had to visit a doctor at night because we just couldn’t bear the itching. The doctor confirmed that the itching was from insect bites (most likely BED BUGS) and we were having an allergic reaction. The itching was unbearable, and this issue was never handled properly by the resort. We had to change rooms due to this, but when we noticed that, our original old room was already occupied by new guests, which is unacceptable. To make matters worse, we discovered a rat living in our villa roof, scratching all night long. At first, we were told it was just birds, but we eventually found out the truth. The rats even chewed through the air-conditioning cables in the villa next door, leaving our neighbors without AC. This level of hygiene and maintenance is absolutely unacceptable for the price we paid. We also saw cockroaches in the main dining room—disgusting. No comment on that, it speaks for itself. The resort itself was not the cleanest, and it was very outdated. It felt like it had lost its shine, and the lack of cleanliness and upkeep made it even more disappointing for the money we spent. Snorkeling, which was a major reason we chose this destination (Maldives), was another massive letdown. You can’t snorkel or swim around the resort due to sea grass everywhere. While the staff works hard to clean it daily, it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no proper swimming area. If you want to snorkel, you must join the daily boat trip at 2 PM, but even that was a disaster. The boat was often full—not with snorkelers, but with people taking pictures who were rude and even threw our belongings on the floor. Service at the pool bar was equally disappointing. Despite having staff available, we were constantly ignored. We had to shout to get someone’s attention, which is unacceptable for a resort this expensive! Drinks were inconsistent—sometimes overly sweet to the point of being undrinkable, other times fine. It was completely unpredictable. Entertainment was another disappointment. The DJ at Vilu Bar only played Indian songs, making it impossible to enjoy or dance to more universally popular tracks. Even movie nights exclusively featured Indian films. It felt like the resort catered only to a specific audience, leaving others out entirely. Me and my boyfriend came here hoping to have a calm, relaxing holiday and possibly even get engaged. Unfortunately, this was far from the experience we were looking for. We still have signs

From the beginning to the end of our special pre Christmas family holiday on this idyllic, relaxing Island we were looked after by the most friendly, caring staff. The food is fresh and tasty with an abundance of choices at every mealtime. The daily snorkelling trips are a must to experience the colourful and variety of sea life in the warm, clear ocean . Will definitely return.
