The plastic sand retaining barriers are not very attractive, we understand why they are there
Resort surpassed expectstions and was great for seeing marine life at close quarters without having to swim far
Food was superb but choice of wine could have been better under allinclusive deal

The Four Seasons Desroches.

Incredible hotel with stunning natural beauty.
I cannot fault this place. The staff, food and "feel" were all of the highest calibre.

we really enjoyed our holiday which was so relaxing in wonderful locations with great service and rooms. However, thet main purpose was snorkeling which was memorable for the sharks, turtles and range of fish of all shapes and sizes. Fingers crossed for the coral....

Anantara....the pool area let this hotel down as the sun beds were uncomfortable and lacked decent shade. Pool service however was excellent with complimentary water and water melon on sticks handed out regularly with a smile. Drinks in the restaurant were ridiculously priced with a 250ml glass of wine costing over £30. Food was excellent however both breakfast buffet and evening buffet with a wide selection. Any dietary issues were also addressed as chef would cook you anything you asked for.
Chedi Muscat ......Nice rooms, service good but not always with a smile. Excellent comfy sunbeds all throughout the hotel complex with plenty of shade for this who don't like to sit in the direct sunlight and fry. Breakfast buffet excellent with wide choice of food. Evening meals no buffet but could be taken at any of the six a la carte restaurants. We tried every one and enjoyed them all.
All in all a wonderful holiday experiencing a different culture to our own. Visited a number of interesting places with excellent and very friendly guides. Faultless arrangements once again by Angelfish Travel.

Another wonderful holiday at Ihuru, now rebranded as Dhawa. We liked the new colourful decor but thought the 'Nest' was a waste of time. Uncomfortable wood blocks to sit on and very few people used it. Also, we felt that having one end of the bar as Reception was a mistake. The bar activity was distracting and unlike on previous visits there were times when the 'reception' was unoccupied. But the service in the bar was improved and the food and restaurant service was delightful.
Mention must be made of the unusual March weather. It was the worst we have ever encountered on our many visits, with strong winds, rough seas and intermittent rain on most days. Please have an immediate word with the Global Warming Officer to get this corrected! But with 31/32 degrees, it was still magical.

We were more than happy with the very personal service provided by Angelfish and have already shared our recommendations with some people we met on holiday. Thank you very much for 100% + service answering all our questions and providing any additional advice to ensure we had all the necessary information.

We enjoyed our stay but the island fell short of our expectations not all due to the resort. The house reef is quite difficult to snorkel, the south side is a very long swim to the reef, north side had strong currents throughout our stay. The fish life on the reef has been some of the best we have ever had on a house reef in the Maldives throughout our 8 previous visits. Beach was very clean with very little in the way of rubbish being washed up, probably due to the lack of other resorts in the area.Rooms are comfortable but showing signs of wear. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. The final leg home with British airways was poor compared to Qatar.

We had a terrific holiday and really enjoyed our return to the resort. Your service as ever was exemplary. In terms of the resort, although it was generally fantastic, I would say it has fallen back a little since our last visit; the tiling in our pool was so bad that they highlighted it when we moved in (you couldnt miss it) and, although they offered to move us, which we did, to a Water Villa, later in the week, you wouldn't expected this from a luxury resort...its a problem likely to get worse actually also as the tiling in the main pool is coming away also. Secondly, there has definitely been a shift towards it becoming more of a family resort...there were a lot of small children, which meant that public areas were often very noisy and not particularly relaxing, while the introduction of things like Karaoke nights cheapened it a little for me and meant that these nights were noisy and not particularly pleasant (most couples deserted on those nights). In terms of excursions, these were good, however we found the private fishing experience frustrating as they just wouldn't let us "have a go" and constantly took our lines off us to do the fishing themselves...which wasn't the point of course...it seemed they were more concerned that they caught some fish rather than we had a good, fun experience, trying to do so ourselves! I know this sounds a little negative, and we did have a wonderful time, with most of it being very relaxing, and their staff are fantastic, however for the reasons above, and mainly the increased number of children / noise, we probably wouldn't return again.

After a disappointing visit in 2022 where the senior management were non-existent and food quality poor, it was great to see the champions smile again. the new regime has clearly got the mojo back and we will gladly return. The excellent service by Angelfish simply added to a great holiday - thank you.

Kuda is a Good island for families. Only one bar, fabulous large swimming pool. Lovely rooms not so good outdoor shower. very close to residential island, so not the desert island feel.
The all-inclusive package was very basic. Overall, an eight for us.
