It was a strange time to stay on Makunudu with the covid 19 pandemic. Rooms were very comfortable, the cleaning of rooms, whilst perfectly adequate, lacked the thoroughness and personal service we experienced 5 years ago.
The food was absolutely excellent as previously. In our second week, due to the dwindling numbers of guests (down to 8), the buffet style breakfast and lunch were stopped, and replaced by room service breakfast (at no extra cost) and, similar to the evening format, a 4 course set meal replaced the buffet lunch. We did miss the choice at both these meals, but we're still served food of excellent quality and beautifully presented. They did still provide us with the 2 fantastic themed nights, one BBQ (for 8) and the other traditional Maldivian night (for 11). These were both buffet style and served outside, which was magical, and there was so much choice and food we felt bad we couldn't eat it all. We were so impressed they still went to such effort for so few of us. The island is still beautiful and unspoilt. There is a little more choice for water sports provided, but we are just content to enjoy the peace and snorkel (lots). The coral is not as healthy as 5 years ago, Il Nino 2016 caused a lot of damage, but it is recovering, and there is still an abundance of marine life. We saw so many different species of fish, turtles, morays, rays, sharks, octopus, and spiny lobster, so we were not disappointed at all. The visibility was generally pretty good. The excursions didn't happen due to C19 restrictions and lack of guests, but we weren't too bothered. All the staff (quite a number of whom we recognised from 5 years ago) were superb. They were very attentive, and always smiling and chatty, despite the huge worry as they are all being sent home (no pay no government support) for at least 4 months until the island can reopen again. The fact that they still remained so positive, helpful and friendly is an indication of what a fantastic team of staff work on Makunudu. We enjoyed sunset cocktails at the Sunset Bar and a few drinks at the Sand Bar. The sunset Bar was closed for the last 2 evenings we were there, it was not worth them opening it up for just the two of us, but they offered us cocktails to be brought to our accommodation instead. We were happy to go to watch the sunset and then have a drink at the Sand Bar before dinners instead. We would definitely return to Makunudu, a few years down the line again. I really hope the staff can weather the pandemic, keep safe at home, and can all be re-employed at Makunudu soon.

We had a lovely stay and, as ever, your service and support has been outstanding. Thank you again to you and the team.

Superb trip staff at hotel excellent and facilities first class.
We would recommend Angelfish for their support and professionalism.

We had a wonderful break with excellent service from Angelfish, and Vakarufalhi. I did feel that bar prices and excursion prices were a bit high compared to other holidays in the region. That said, the staff at the resort were all we could expect, and the service from Angelfish was very reassuring especially given the international emergency that was developing whilst we were away.

We had a great experience there though we had to cut it short 3 days due to coronavirus related travel restrictions. Great staff and beautiful resort.

Brilliant. Third visit and really enjoyed it especially the natural feel.

Such a beautiful place for our honeymoon. Had such a wonderful time. The whole process was so easy thanks to angelfish. The resort staff were amazingly attentive from start to finish and quick to sort out any problems! The snorkelling was the best part, seeing so much varied marine life on a daily basis which is right your doorstep!

Another wonderful holiday.
We are never ready to come home,even after 4 weeks.

Thanks for your brilliant service as always, and the postcard too.

Thanks for your great service. Clare was brilliant, really well informed and helpful. I really like dealing with her as she?s honest and straightforward and will tell you what she really thinks about a resort. I find that invaluable.
We were massive fans of Outrigger. It?s a simply beautiful island and our villa was stunning, huge and very private. The atmosphere is very special and the service is absolutely outstanding. It?s my favourite island of the four I?ve been to in the Maldives and all of us would love to be able to go back one day. The only really sad issue is the erosion that the island is facing which meant that the beach by our villa (109) is disappearing day by day. I hope they can find a solution to this.

A small intimate peaceful island , friendly staff always willing to accommodate. Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful lagoon and the BBQ night on the sand was magical .
