    Good value for a beautifully maintained, spotless room with a terrace and an extra roll-away bed. Location is near a private island, a coral garden spanning a large area, and the Herathera Island Resort. - Thoughtful and respectful staff, offering free wake-up service and ironing.

    The Sunset Beach Villa was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We had a fantastic view of the beach from our outside deck area. The beach was clean and had amazing views. The restaurant staff were very friendly and we loved having our own table.

    Could not be improved in any way.

    I recently had an amazing vacation at a beautiful beachfront resort in the Maldives. The location was perfect, with stunning views of the sunrise over the ocean. The resort had a dive shop where I could easily book snorkeling and diving trips to explore the vibrant coral reefs. The restaurants offered a wide variety of delicious food, including freshly grilled fish. I stayed in a spacious room with a comfortable bed and a clean, al fresco bathroom. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I loved starting my day with a delicious breakfast buffet. The resort also had great facilities, such as a large swimming pool and a kids club.

    The only downside was the lack of variety in the dinner/lunch buffets.

    This place is truly amazing. The location on Herathera island in Addu Atoll is stunning. The hotel looks out to the wild side of the island, which provides a breathtaking view. The rooms are well-decorated and comfortable, and the staff is very polite and always happy to be of service. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful beach. The hotel offers a variety of services, from room service to bicycle hire, and the housekeeping is top-notch. I also appreciated the shops and commercial services available on-site. this hotel provides enhanced comfort and quality services.

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

    The complementary drink on arrival and fruit basket were nice touches. The location is great, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The pool area was also a good spot to relax.

    The room was not up to our expectations and had a musty smell. The food was not great and quite expensive for what it was.

    I had an incredible stay at Canareef Resort Maldives. The location in a jacuzzi beach hut overlooking the lagoon was simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches around the resort were a dream come true. The hotel facilities were top-notch, from the Olympic pool to the well-equipped fitness room. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable experience. Their friendliness and willingness to assist made me feel welcome and valued. The breakfast spread was delicious, and the variety of options kept things interesting.

    Nothing it is perfect.

    We had an amazing stay at this resort. The staff was exceptional, always willing to assist with any query and ensuring our happiness. Special thanks to Shena, Azzan, Radhe, Ravender/Raaj, Sohail, and Ammu for their kind assistance. The cleanliness of the rooms was outstanding, with housekeeping cleaning twice a day. The hotel facilities were top-notch, from the Jacuzzi in our villa to the darts, billiards, and fitness center available for our enjoyment. The location of the hotel on a beautiful island, just a short boat ride away from the second largest island in the Maldives, was perfect. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. this was a dream vacation in a dream place.

    Everything is what I need and want.
