Client Testimonials

Angelfish service is outstanding and wouldn't hesitate book with them again.

We booked a deluxe beach villa on Adaaran Select Meedhupparu and had room 116, which was well positioned on the north side of the island, the rooms are arranged in a horseshoe and some are more set back from the sea than others. We found the room to be a bit basic; but functional for the time you spend in the room. Sunbeds can be moved to where you want them positioned on the beach and we had ample sun and shade according to the time of the day for sunbathing or keeping in the shade. I think this side of the island had the best stretch of beach and access to the best snorkelling on the house reef and we saw an array of fish including black tip reef sharks, turtles, rays and octopus. It's lovely to see the sea planes coming and going and although the water sport centre is located on this side of the island it didn't detract from the sheer beauty of the island.

There are two buffet restaurants and we found the quality to be better in the main restaurant than the Indian restaurant, although we did find the staff in the Indian restaurant very friendly and they even arranged for us to have Kedgeree for breakfast one morning which was nice. The a la carte restaurant was lovely, but disappointing we were only able to book it twice in our stay, the occupancy on the island was high and I suspect this is why.

We found the all-inclusive drinks very good with a selection of wines by the glass, the bars are well positioned and found ourselves going between the sunset bar and main bar. We are happy with low key entertainment, but found the DJ to be on too many nights and played the same loud music that would have been better placed for a club in Ibiza than on a Maldivian island when the majority of the guests are of a certain age that would have appreciated music from all generations. We did like the duos and musicians at the Al A Carte restaurant. The main bar was busier when the DJ wasn't there. We found the bar staff very attentive and they got to know our orders.

We took advantage of going on the free dolphin safari and saw lots of dolphins. We also paid to go on 2 snorkelling trips which were great and well organised by the water sports staff.

Our room was well serviced and reception staff helpful.

Overall, I would recommend this island to people, we may choose somewhere different next time for the variety especially when paying a lot for the holiday, but equally happy to return and would definitely book through Angelfish.

Decided that having a reef quite important. The free daily reef boat trip was okay, but quite a distance below and some days it wasn’t clear (reef clearer in the morning because of the tide when we were there but boat trips were only in the afternoon.

The island is long so you needed the buggies unfortunately we felt that we were riding buggies a lot. But the buggy drivers were so lovely especially Mufiso.

Food was AMAZING.
Favourite place to eat was East Market though Allegra was superb.

It’s a shame they don’t allow you to keep snorkel and fins for the duration - having to return them by 5pm every eve was a nuisance, especially when water sports is one end of the island and your water villa the other.
The complimentary suntan cream was lovely bonus especially when we ran out of ours towards the end of the holiday.

Angelfish did an excellent job of putting together an amazing trip for us to Sri Lanka and Milaidhoo in the Maldives. Their service was efficient and personal and we are grateful to them for providing a true trip of a lifetime. Would not hesitate at recommending Jo and the team or using them again in the future.

Ayada well exceeded our initial expectations by far. The resort itself is so beautiful and well maintained to a very high standard. Nothing is too much trouble as they truly want you to enjoy every minute of your time on the island. Whatever we asked for they sorted and with such speed it was impressive. The villas are a little old but we loved our stay in both the beach villa and ocean view villa. They were so comfortable, spotless and spacious. The food was just incredible at all of their restaurants. Management were visible and very engaging. This was our 11th visit to the Maldives since 2014 and we would definitely say Ayada has taken our number one spot out of all the resorts we have visited. We are not so keen on returning to resorts in the Maldives but we would return to Ayada in a heartbeat.

We have had a lovely time at kurumba, if we had to be fussy I would say I wish it had better quality drinks in the dine all around menu.
We booked with Angelfish and as usual everything is excellent.
From advising resorts to sending vouchers and confirming bookings.
Will always book our holidays with them.

there have been some small changes since our last visit but it was great to be back and we instantly relaxed into island life.
If anything, snorkelling seemed better than during our last visit.
Watching baby turtles emerge from their nest and head to the sea was a n unexpected highlinght.

Our honeymoon was the best it could have been! So happy to have been back to Finolhu and already thinking about our next time back! Thank you all for your incredible service and support to extend our stay.

Service was excellent. So much enthusiasm.
Food was good quality. AI wine selection a little limited.
One of the most fantastic reefs we have seen in a long time with incredible coral growth in three years. Not the fishiest but with plenty of interest. We saw turtles every other snorkel and were able to spot all four house reef hawksbills.
