Client Testimonials

After a slight hiccup with room allocation we had a superb time in a lovely place with fantastic staff--thank you
So pleased we booked with Angel fish as one e mail to you sorted our problem.All the staff were there to please us, chef Jarminda was amazing,room boy(man) Soba just lovely.
We knew they had problems with the reef but there were still plenty of fish,hopefully they will finish clearing up the little bits of building material left around in a few places in the lagoon.
Not sure about the four poster bed type things by the bar or the unusual bar seating --could do with more conventional seating as most people don't want to be horizontal whilst having a drink even if they end up that way after a few cocktails!

This retreat was just perfect, although I do think the retreat could decide to be adults only (or kids over 11). We had to endure many meals with a family using an iPad (loudly) for their toddler and in such a small restaurant, every guest could hear this. Other than that, we had a thoroughly lovely time - the food was wonderful, drinks menu extensive, the staff just delightful and every aspect of our vacation was fabulous. Yes, the coral on the house reef is in bad shape, probably due to the tsunami and indiscriminate anchoring in the past and also being ravaged by Crown of Thorns, but there are areas where it is growing back. However, the variety of fish and other sea life is massive - much wider than we found on other reefs in the area. Please don't allow Drift to change much or get any bigger. It really would spoil what is a perfect little gem of an island. Those wanting entertainment, TVs and swimming pools can be spoilt for choice at other resorts.

We had a lovely holiday and were upgraded to a deluxe villa.The food was the best ever.We were given a free meal at Just Grill
With champagne and more bubbly in the room.
,A free snorkelling trip and bbq lunch on a small island by speedboat from the manager. For our last week we had a free week at kanifushi in a junior suite.It was an interesting and different experience.
We still look forward to revisiting Oblu though with its house reef and yummy food in November .What a lovely team they are.We loved the bright and light rooms but the lagoon villas are not a pretty sight as viewed from the sea.
The landscaping has been done very well and is still ongoing.We think the refurbishment has been done very well also.

very pleased with resort overall, food good staff very friendly and welcoming. My only criticism was lack of information received about coco residence offers - ie didnt receive any benefit of foot ritual/free yoga session/cinema night on beach/weekly cocktail as when requested was informed that these you didnt get or they were only certain times but not advised of this and missed out.

I have marked watersports down(paradise Cove) because we were unable to do any whilst there due to high winds.

Sands - dinner buffet average at best. Food in other restaurants very good but credit towards meals very poor (didn't even cover starters).

Overall, we had a great holiday and, as before, we were impressed with the Angelfish service and will continue to recommend you to friends.

Extremely good and knowledgeable service from Angelfish again. Also very pleased with the long haul experience from Emirates especially the Airbus A380 which is very comfortable and the entertainment system is excellent as well as being able to charge phones, tablets etc via the USB socket. It was our eighth visit to the Maldives but our first to Angaga. We liked the ambience of the island; rustic accomodation but with a modern spacious bathroom. We had booked 11 nights in a beach villa but they were over subscribed so we placed in a superior water villa. These are very spacious and well appointed. It was a novelty to be able to snorkel directly from the villa steps and as we were facing the original water villa jetty there was often something to see in terms of boats coming and going and seaplane arrivals and departures. However the water villa experience lacks the "sand between the toes" experience for us so although we could have stayed for 5 days we opted to move after 2. We were given villa 131 which looked over to the original water villa jetty. (Angelfish had requested 110-125 but it was not to be). We did get a number of Italian water villa guests parking themselves close to us on the beach and they had to be asked not to use the sun loungers. This stretch of the beach had no on shore breeze at all when we were there (it might be different if the wind is coming from another direction) so it was quite hot. The swimming was excellent in the lagoon. There were plenty of fish to see around the coral but not easy to get to the outer edge as there were no channels on our side of the island and the water was very shallow over the reef. So I missed being able to easily get to the deep water drop off which is so typical of other island we have visited such as Reethi Beach. Although there was no soft coral, the hard coral was in excellent condition. There were many tiny sharks in the shallows (I counted 7 on one morning all under the jetty) plus we also saw a pretty large white tipped shark in just a few feet of water. In addition I saw a fairly large ray on the seabed one day and also a wonderfully coloured hermit crab peeping out of its massive shell. We didn't dive so can't make any comment on the dive centre. The food was excellent, good quality, well cooked and plentiful. The menu wasn't perhaps as varied as some islands we have been to but no need to go hungry! Salads were good and plenty of fresh fruit. Also toasted sandwiches on offer at lunch. We went on an all-inclusive basis and tried our bery best collectively to try as many of the 77 cocktails on the bar list as we could in 11 days!! There was definitely something there for everyone. The house wine was quite drinkable too. The staff were very obliging and helped sort issues without any hassle. Our waiter Usam looked after us very well and got to know our usual order for drinks in no time. Similarly our room was kept in good order by Hassan. There was musical entertainment on Saturday evenings but other than that it was chatting in the bar in the evening. All in all a very restful 11 days.

Not the prettiest island but made up for by great snorkelling and absolutely first class customer service. The lagoon villa was great and very good food.

This is an excellent resort. The room is much bigger than it appears in the pictures and the request I made direct to the islands customer service was fully honoured and we had an excellent location that was very convenient. The food is very good throughout the resort but I do not recommend the speciality restaurants as the service is appallingly slow. It was explained that the current kitchen does not meet the capacity of the restaurants. The staff are amazing and very well trained. The beach is very good indeed and well cared for but very eroded at the top end near the premium rooms so whee we were was perfect. However there is insufficient umbrellas on the beach leading to selfish behaviour by guests. The current ratio is 1:4 but the resort manager advised caped has been approved to change this to 1:2. Mosquitos are a problem but we had excellent nets installed in our room. The doctor on the island is proactive and excellent. The kids club is excellent and our son loved his daily visits. The main swimming pool is fantastic - great for swimming. It does need a lifeguard and sails for shade in the kids area. Management agrees. Spice restaurant beds to start service at 6pm as on Lily Beach (same owners) to avoid the plethora of kids all asleep by 7.15pm! Dive centre is very well run with great staff. Had 10 good dives with great variety. However I am not convinced that there is the volume of available sites with enough interested divers to keep the advanced diver like myself encouraged enough to dive daily. It's a matter of geography as there are more advanced sites to dive with thilas and more channels nearer Kuredu in the same atoll. Overall a superb island and we were especially happy with our room size, the location of the room, the food options, the pool and the kids club with some decent diving. The worst thing that happened was that our luggage came on two separate flights on the return leg (same on outbound) which was disappointing as we were the only passengers with a child and we had to wait over an hour at Male airport which mean zero time for shopping and an irritated thirsty child during the long wait. Thanks to you all for choosing an excellent island. Out of the seven islands I have visited this is in my top two. Look forward to next years trip!

It's a beautiful island. The beach villas are very comfortable. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. For the snorkelling, around the island, there are a lot of fishes. The only thing is that we need to be good swimmers because there's no channel to go to the outer reef, so we have to manage to swim over the corals. The food is very good and the chef even asked us what we would like to eat for one dinner and prepared what we asked.

Angelfish were great, they provided a service which is very hard to find in travel agents these days. The Dusit Thani personal service was wonderful and I feel a good indicator of how good a hotel is, is whether or not we would return, and we'd definitely return to the Dusit.
