The Standard is nothing short of magical. In addition to the beautiful surrounds, our stay was made all the more memorable by the exemplary service from the moment we landed till the time we bid farewell. An added benefit of staying at The Standard is its dedicated airport lounge and proximity to Malé which meant that we were the one of the first passengers off the seaplane that was also carrying guests staying at other properties. There are lots of activites to create wonderful holiday memories ranging from a variety of water sports, excursions, and amazing culinary offerings with breathtaking ocean views. Highlights of our stay include sunset yoga on Baby Island and snorkelling with the wonderful team from Carpe Diem. The amazing staff was a major contributor to our incredible stay. Special thanks to: Shamaau - our extraordinary host for the best recommendations and making us feel at home everyday. He's truly a man of many talents! ; Shasha - Outlet Manager who made sure we were looked after at every restaurant; Llama - for creating some of the most amazing cocktails; Shaawn (Mr D) - for awesome service, great conversations & recommendations; Hassan - for his attentiveness and caring service; Bassu - who looked out for us at the airport during arrival & departure and expertly navigating the crowds at the terminal to get us onto our flight in good time; Mohsin - for his detailed housekeeping that made a comfortable retreat for us everyday. We will be back again!

The Standard Maldives was nothing but amazing. From the pick up at the airport, the lounge in the sea plane terminal, the swift check in, buggyservice to the villa, personal island host, greate villa in great condition, cool interieur, a lot of design detailes all over the resort, a lot of activities for the kids (like the floating inflated waterpark by the beach, table tennis, beach volleyball, tennis court, billiard etc.), really good food with several resturants to choose from, several bars with great drinks, but the best of all was two things: The pictures perfect island and the outstanding service from the hotel staff. I will in perticular mention Bavan and food and beverage mananger Chowdhoory, who gave us personal service in world class. This hotel is playing in the champions league of hotels.

They were polite, professional, caring and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a slice of heaven in the Maldives.

The resort is stunning, looks almost unreal. Everywhere in the island is picture perfect. From the moment of our arrival in the airport, seaplane transfer to our island arrival, everything was seamless. We were greeted by staff upon our arrival at the resort. Youssef, our excellent coordinator, gave us a nice overview of the island and resort and gave exceptional service throughout our stay at The Standard The staff was professional, organized and hardworking. They treated the guests like family and went out of their way to make sure guests are having a good time. The resort is very clean, food is excellent and healthy. Walkways to go to the over the water villa is very picturesque and beautiful. One can easily see several marine life (manta ray, baby sharks, different kind of fishes) as you walk in these walkways Our two bedroom over the water villa was like a dream come true; beautiful, large, modern and a patio with a pool to die for. Water is clear turquoise, with plenty of marine life just below our villa. Don’t hesitate to book this resort. It’s a paradise.

A wonderful place to stay in the Maldives
This is the second time we have been to The Standard Maldives and in the three years since we last been, it has improved in every respect and it was very good to begin with. The cleanliness of the beautiful room and everywhere in the hotel was great. The addition of the bikes to get around was fun. Good variety of activities including free kayaking, snorkeling and yoga. We recommend not going for the all inclusive as the culinary highlights were the amazing sushi restaurant, the fantastic BBQ on the beach and the exotic Maldivian restaurant. A nice touch was the chef speaking with the guests. The welcoming and friendliness of the staff was genuine and faultless. A shout out for Shakhawat, he went above and beyond helping us and eve sorting out our wine pairing with the food. Highly recommended and we will be back as soon as we can.

Pre-arrival experience was horrible, to the point where I was going to cancel my reservation. I contacted the hotel over 10 times via Expedia, website, email, WhatsApp, and Instagram to receive confirmation for my seaplane transfer and I didn’t receive a response until the 3rd Instagram message where their social media team had the hotel contact me. It’s very concerning that a luxury hotel would have such poor communication prior to arrival. That said, once I got in the island, the customer service was generally good. Some staff members were a little pushy on the services that charged additional fees which was a bit irritating but it didn’t ruin the trip. The property is stunning—it’s straight out of a postcard. There’s tons of activities (both free and with charge). They also do a fantastic job at keeping the hotel free of unwanted critters. You’d think in a beach with a jungle in the center that they’d have more rodents but nary one was seen. The water in the bathroom ran yellow/brown twice but the staff were very quick to fix it. Flaws and all, I would recommend this hotel.

Where to begin? The most perfect first Maldives vacation all thanks to The Standard Maldives. You get greeded by a Standard employee at the airport that explains the entire transfer process to the resort. Upon arrival you get an employee assinged to you for the entire stay that is available via phone/text at any time. The property it's self it's gorgeous, very well upkept. The food selection is great, the buffet has breakfast, lunch and dinner offers plenty of options even if you decide not to dine at the chargable restaurants (for all inclusive). What made this experience so phenomenal is the entire staff. There wasnt a single person that wasnt friendly, helpful and accompating. Special shout out to the kids club employees Daria, Sofia and Nuzu. Our son was kept enternatined the entire time and actually cried when we had to leave. That to us was the biggest compliment to this resort. Shout out to Lee, who is the pool waiter. He made our stay absolutely great by making sure we were not left thirsty. Everything at this resort is so planned out that you are always well taken care of. The island is perfect and small and the scenery is breath taking. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this resort. If you want a great experience, book The Standard Resort!

The Standard is a beautiful resort. There is a bit of an identity crisis in terms of marketing. It's not the all-night ravey Ibiza-style resort they promote. It's a little quieter and more laid back. There are lots of families, but there is plenty of room for everyone and if you want a quiet and secluded time, you can have it. The personal concierge is a great touch and there are many activities for all levels of engagement. I highly recommend the All-Inclusive option as there are many perks and discounts that you can take advantage of. If you're going for only a few to 5 days, I recommend arranging your dinner reservations before you get there. Guduguda and the BBQ Shack fill quickly. When you're there, please slow down. Everything is on island time and so is the service. Everyone is very friendly and pleasant but it seems there is a 5-7 month turnover for staff, so they are constantly re-training. It's not a problem, just that different staff know different things. Also, if you're watching the YouTube videos on the place, keep in mind those people are probably getting some kind of compensation. You can't just fly drones everywhere. There are no longer speakers in each room The snorkel equipment in the room isn't the best, but those issues are of very little consequence when you're in paradise. The Standard is amazing. We rarely return to a place, but we are already making plans to return. You'll love it!

The Sub Standard would be a more fitting name
This was probably the worst "5 Star" experiences I have ever had. The moment we landed, we got sent to the seaplane, which got cancelled 2 hours later - we were told it was weather. Given that other seaplanes were taking off consistently, I doubt this is true. We then had to sort our own room out in Male and go the next day - ultimately losing us one nights stay, which was the most expensive night I paid for. The hotel said it was not their responsibility - then again, it is not mine either. We got compensated $230 for the extra night I paid for in Male - that after arguing. Service on the whole is absolutely shocking here. In the Todis bar, no one even asks you if you want a drink, even though they have so many staff - you have to go to the bar yourself to get a drink. "Managers" just seem to sit on tables doing nothing. We ordered room service and the food came 90 minutes later, stone cold. Sent it back. Food in the buffet restaurant is underwhelming and desserts are always warm and melted, when they should be cold. They knew the seaplane back to Male was at 10.30am, they moved us out of our villa at 9am and sat us in reception for over an hour. The "manager" upon checkout just argued with us and wasn't hospitable at all. To be honest, I don't know what their problem is, but overall, it is was awful and I would say just go to a proper 5 star resort. They really need to sort their service standard out. Would never go again, not recommend, stay away.

Beautiful setting (as with every island in the Maldives that we've been to). Somewhat disappointed as, although we had an excellent break, it was actually quite 'standard!' Feels like a missed opportunity - the resort has a mass-market feel in the lounge / bar / restaurant areas. From the branding, we were expecting something far more hip and trendy. The areas are sparse with regard to furniture and doesn't have a laid-back lounge feel which would be easy to creat with different types and more furniture, different lighting, plants etc etc. Service was good and food of a reasonable quality. Choice in the (pay for) bars and restaurants was lacking - for example Todis / Joos doesn't have any grilled fish or similar on the menu - surely an obvious 'miss' on a Maldivian island!? Whilst we nejoyed ourselves, we will try somewhere else next time....

Food is something amazing. Stuff is friendly. Especial thanks to Shake from Kula restaurant. Always helpful, friendly, and smiley independently of anything. Nalim and Lidy also very helpful. Sheif also Made my bday unforgettable even if a bit late. I hope i spelled their names right, so i can given them credit. One thing would be very helpful. My room was the Lagoon over the water. A umbrella for the pool area would be the cherry on top of the cake. The sun is extremely strong. Myself and my husby got first degree burns. Also, take SUNBLOCK. Is it crucial. Amazing vacation.

Thank you for your recent visit to The Standard Huruvalhi Maldives, and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay, thanks in part to the excellent service you received from Shake, Nalim, Lidy and Sheif. They are indeed rock stars and they are dedicated to providing an original guest experience in a friendly, attentive and gracious manner. The sun here is extremely strong! We always highly recommend our guests to keep lathering on sunblock to avoid any sunburning. We apologize that your hubby got sunburnt! We hope that he is all better now! We look forward to your next visit soon.
