Top 5-Star Hotels in Ungoofaaru

My husband and I returned from our 8 day honeymoon at Ifuru and where to even begin - it was more magical than we ever expecting! We were greeted at Male airport by an Ifuru rep (unfortunately didn’t catch his name) who was very friendly and told us how our transfer would proceed. We had a domestic flight booked and had to wait around 3 hours but he took us and our suitcases over to the food court lounge across the road and came to collect us once it was time to check-in for our internal flight - which took around 40 mins with one stopover at another resort beforehand. On arrival, we were greeted by our Ifuru buddy, Ifaa, and our FRAM representative, Chiara, who were both great throughout our entire stay. We had a WhatsApp group with them both which we spoke on daily to organise any activities that we wanted to do and any items we wanted in the room. We’ve never stayed in a hotel which has this level of service to guests before and this really blew us away! As we were travelling for our honeymoon, Ifaa and Chiara ensured that we had all of our honeymoon package activities included and arranged the timing for our spa treatment. (To qualify for the honeymoon package you must be staying a minimum of 7 nights and have proof of your wedding certificate in the past 6 months). The main restaurant is the Social House where we ate every breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also ‘Waterfront’ and ‘Palm Grill’ but these restaurants weren’t included in our all inclusive package and we were satisfied with the options already at the Social House. In the whole 8 days, we never ate the same meal twice - there was such a variety of foods and themed evenings each night. All of the staff were attentive and friendly and often remembered our room number and drink orders. We were served often by Diva who always greeted us with a huge smile & was so friendly - thanks Diva for always making us laugh! In the day we mostly stayed near the pool and Hubba Bubba bar where we were served by Kuva who is incredible! Always remembered our drink orders, made suggestions on drinks he knew we would like and always had a joke up his sleeve for us. After dinner, we always headed back to Hubba Bubba where we would sit at the bar and would be served directly by 2 of the friendliest barman- Rudy & Yuda! What an asset these two are to Ifuru. Every night we were given a surprise cocktail, again based on what they knew we liked. They worked so incredibly hard each night whilst always smiling! A note for management - please supply a fan for the bar staff! It often gets hot near the bar area as the fans don’t reach this area and the bar staff deserve to have some cooling air on them whilst working hard 😊 We really enjoyed the wellness and spa options available at Ifuru. In our 8 days we managed to fit in - 3 yoga sessions, 2 gym sessions, 3 massages, 1 ice bath, 1 sound healing and 1 reiki healing. The staff running the spa & general wellness were exceptional. All extremely friendly
