Gaafu Alifu Atoll Hotels with Waterslides

"The staff is so welcoming and accommodating, making sure that you’re having a comfortable and enjoyable time. The island itself is so gorgeous I could lounge around all day looking around! I will definitely be going back "

"The resort is lovely. Snorkeling enthusiasts will be in heaven. Food is great with different themes every day. All inclusive package is definitely a winner. Everywhere I have been is super clean. Areas of improvement: the pool is bit deep for shortie like me to enjoy it fully. Transport to the island could be more transparent and easier to understand. Not much indoor entertainment options on rainy days apart from the bars. Very basic amenities. The soap bottles are awful, but that’s pretty much it. Staff are super friendly and very helpful."

"My wife and I visited in February and it felt like a dream! We loved our overwater villa. The water had so many colors. We loved the size of the resort. It felt intimate and quiet-which we loved because we live in a big city and we want to feel relaxed on vacation. The staff is wonderful. Yassir was our butler and he took care of us. The Raffles worker who greeted us at the airport (I believe his name was Ahmed) helped us tremendously. He got us all checked in for our domestic flight and showed us where to go. He even got us on an earlier flight to the resort which we so appreciated! The General Manager Tracey is fantastic and helpful. And we have wonderful things to say about the chef, Shane. My wife has dairy and gluten allergies and she can’t eat most meats. Shane did a great job catering a menu to my wife and he was so friendly! We miss the staff at Raffles, including the waiters. All of them made Raffles feel like home. Raffles is definitely a paradise island. Very unique. And if you are looking to go to the Maldives for the first time or visit a new place in the Maldives, we definitely recommend Raffles! You won’t regret it. Everything about Raffles was perfect. The house coral reef is excellent with lots of exotic fish. This was our first time in the Maldives. And we plan to visit Raffles Maldives again. We’ve stayed at nice resorts around the world in around 50 countries, including Four Seasons in Bora Bora. Raffles Maldives might be my favorite. "

"Everything about this hotel was brilliant. The waters were crystal clear and we were amazed to see so much sealife from the back of our over water villa - turtles, stingrays and small sharks were constantly swimming by our villa and it was really easy to get in the water and see them up close. The staff were beyond friendly and the service was exceptional - from the wonderful breakfast team, the lovely asian lady working in the bar, to Zin in Phat Cameleon. Every single staff member on this Island went out of their way to say hello and bring us anything we needed. The food was also very good, especially for an all inclusive - Phat Cameleon and Souq Oven were our favourites, and the chef's were more than happy to ammend dishes to cater to dietary requirements. We found the all inclusive to be excellent value for money, with a large amount of premium beers and wines included. The resort itself is stunning - very green and also clean, with many different areas to visit, making it feel larger than what it was. Our villa was excellent and we would really recommend an over water sunset villa, which have the best views of the island, with the clearest waters. We stayed for 11 nights and were given free vouchers, allowing us to have massages, jet ski rides and a snorkeling trip. Anya in the spa was incredible. There are so many Maldives resorts to choose from that it can be overwhelming. We could not recommend the Pullman more highly - brilliant value for money and quality."

"It was an amazing experience and would highly recommend. Firstly, there were staff and service from Malé arrivals to our resort. Our butler, Ali was brilliant and kept us informed and was brilliant for all of our stay. We stayed in the ocean sunset villas which was conveniently located to the island guest areas with access to bikes throughout. The staff at Zero Degree, Ocean Breeze and Magu. Chef Sajol was amazing and even made a special dish which was special. Colleagues Ali and Yesim were friendly and always available to provide recommendations. Plenty of things to do we did kayaking and snorkel on sight and attended their Sea Salt bbq with unlimited grills and entertainment and highly recommend. We also did their dolphin and snorkel excursion and must praise Hussain for his professional approach and making sure our experiences was more than memorable. Again, our return was smooth and colleagues at every point from departure to Malé check in via boat and domestic flight. Overall Ayada went above and beyond with also allowing us to have a late departure and use and access to their guest areas and food/drink. Thank you Ayada for everything and would highly recommended!"

"The property was really beautiful and the fact that they have 2 islands double the amount of options you have for dining and entertainment. The staff is extremely helpful and they are always ready to help."
