Fanstatic!
From the moment we arrived at the airport in Male the folks at Kanuhura took care of us. The island itself is spectacular. The villas and amenities superb, the food was fantastic, from the buffet to the restaurants it was consistently tasty, but it was the care and attention of the staff at the resort that needs to be commended. Although everyone was great, I'd like to make a special shout out to the following folks; Frank (big smile) Chef Michele Talib Vel Suresh Nioka Worth this rating for sure!

Fantastic for pure relaxation
We had an amazing holiday at this resort. From the moment you arrive on the sea plane to the moment you leave the service is impeccable. This is a place for those seeking privacy, relaxation. This is not a place to party. The food in the Olive Tree restaurant is excellent. The other beach cafe, the food was mediocre and disappointing. The over water villas as fantastic and waking up in the morning and walking down stairs into the sea was amazing. The snorkelling was good and we saw turtles, lots of fish near the villas. The dive centre is excellent and the spa services are also great. A place to relax and take in the wonders of nature at its best.

Good resort but wouldn’t rate it 5-stars
Good resort. Our room was good and spacious, the bed was big and comfortable. The quality and variety of the meals was good. In general everything went very well (mainly because the resort was nearly empty and very quiet) except for the seaplane departure scheduled to 4 pm when our flight was at 10:20 pm! With no lounge access. Also the time at this hotel is one hour ahead, which made it even longer. We arrived at Male airport at 3:40 local time and waited until 22:20. The resort’s decision to change the time to one hour ahead was an unpleasant surprise and should had been informed in advance so we could decide if we were up to it. Days felt shorter and it makes a difference on departure day. Hoteliers should understand that check-out is as important as check-in. The seaplane flight of our friends from a nearby resort was at 5:30 so the excuse that 4 pm is the last departure is simply not true.

Kanuhura ha superado nuestras expectativas en todos los sentidos,la privacidad, la amabilidad del personal, la limpieza, la calidad y variedad de la comida que es excepcional, tanto el buffet como los restaurantes a la carta. La programacion de actividades es variada, hicimos dos excursiones de snorkel maravillosas. Pondria la pega en el spa que pese a ser maravilloso cambiaron el tratamiento sobre la marcha sin avisar a uno mas caro. El cliente no tiene porque saber la diferencia entra los diferentes masajes y se deberia avisar. El hotel esta en proceso de renovacion con lo que estaba una parte de la isla cerrada, pero aun asi tiene todas las facilidades y comodidades. Seguramente una vez terminado sea aun mas espectacular.
