It has been a week since we've come back from paradise on Earth. The beauty of the Maldives cannot be described, but the amazing experience of staying at Dusit Thani Maldives, which was simply perfect, can. To be perfectly honest, almost everything exceeded my (very high) expectation. The resort is a beautiful jungle/garden and cycling through it is a pleasure for all the senses (especially in the evenings, when you can smell frangipani). We have stayed in one of the ocean villas. The views were simply stunning. The villa was very spacious and cosy, and even though the furniture is not brand new, it is full of drama. Plus, they have the most comfortable pillows my head had ever touched. The big highight-and what convinced us to stay in the resort-is the Thai restaurant Benjarong with it amazing chef and staff-we were usually attended by Novika (foodie as myself, so she could provide great recommendation) and James, who was also super nice and attentive. After having dinner at Benjarong the first night, we booked all of our meals there (with the exception for the night of Eid celebration, when we dined on the beach with live local music and dancing-thanks Sharif. I especial recommend the soft shell crab with curry - powder, the lamb chops, and my favourite dish in the universe-the Thai green curry. My husband fell in love with the dessert with water chestnuts and ended up eating it twice a day 🙂 (and of course I ended up taking the Thai cooking class). Another highlight for the foodies was breakfast. while the choices of "western" food, pastries is impressive, my very favourite (and I had it every single day) was the noodles station. Also, make sure you try the passion fruit jam which is to die for. You can always ask Mona (yet another, cheerful foodie) for recommendations. Moving from the food... Above the Thai 'restaurant is the Sata bar. My husband took the cocktail making class there and we met a very gifted bar attender Amita.

Great food and drinks served 24 hours - from international buffet breakfast at Maakanaa restaurant to Seafood / Italian ala-carte lunch or dinner at Raabondhi restaurant, to drinks at Boli Bar. Great facilities. We started our day early playing tennis, then followed with snorkelling around the house reef just in time for the turtle’s feeding time (before 8 am). There are lots of beautiful and colourful coral reef fish around the island, we saw 3 turtles and 2 baby sharks while snorkelling just in the house reef. Activities in Boli Bar is also noteworthy - from chilling by the pool, playing billiards, live bands, to DJ night - and all of that while drinks are overflowing 😉 Excellent staffs - April our Filipina Island host kept us informed of daily activities and attended to all our requests including restaurant reservations. Vinod made our beach villa clean, Himali and Akash from Raabondi restaurant, Maria who gave us private salsa class, Liani and Sita from the Spa who gave us great treatment and massage, and all the friendly staffs in Maakanaa and Boli Bar - everyone made our stay very pleasant. Transfers to/from island is bit time consuming, but forgivable considering the experience we had at the Island. All we had to do was Eat. Drink. Chill. Beach. Tennis. Sleep. Repeat.

We stayed on one of the those water villas with a sunset view. The place was amazing, relaxing, and breath taking all at the same time. There were small sharks and sting rays right in front of our accommodation. We went there mid of April which was towards the end of summer and it rained 2/8 days that we stayed but it was still hot. They had one of these floating breakfast right in front of our room with an amazing view of the Indian Ocean and it is where I did my marriage proposal. The place was clean and the staff were really helpful. Meals were buffet style, no pork or crustaceans as the Maldives is pre dominantly Muslim. At first we were just expecting to chill out and relax in this island but there were activities and excursions as well. Tip: If you are not really into alcohol, Half Board will do you fine. Tip: Make sure your flights in and out of the Maldives matches with your seaplane flight in and out of the smaller islands as seaplanes are not 24hrs. Tip: Bring your own snorkelling equipment, it will save you some money.

Exceptional service. Beautiful island. Great food. This one of the best hotel I have been in my life. You start relaxing very quickly - even despite long flight and head full of thoughts brought from home. Our butler Yana did an excellent job in making sure our stay is perfect. Her sand drawings were very heartwarming. Kids club is great. I would personally add more sport activities to kids club. Especially for kids 8+. All restaurants were great, we personally liked Lagoon bar, Onu and Vakku. Italian place could be better, but it’s a common issue with Italian food in Asia. Children menu was fantastic. Breakfast was also exceptional, they even try to cook syrniki, but no successful so far. We hope this will be fixed next time we visit! :) Island itself is very green and well maintained. Snorkeling experience was above expectations.

A great hotel for the relatively low price. It is located on a beautiful beach with a coral reef for snorkelling. You can see lots of colourful fish, turtles, rays and sharks there. The hotel's own tours are also great, for example snorkelling with the manta rays. You can also get to know the island life of the locals. The hotel staff are very friendly and help with every question. If you can manage without alcohol on holiday, then this is a great choice. You don't notice the airport.

Great guesthouse, great personnel Really want to return to Azoush! Room was nice. Guesthouse area was also good. You can use free bikes, very convenient because bikini beach is 20 minutes walk. But bikes are old, just get used to them :) We had breakfast and dinner. Dinner was exceptional as for me. Really tasty fish! If you need to buy some snacks - there is a store just around the corner.

Overwater villas are excellent, staff is very friendly and super helpful. Food (especially Spice) is very tasty. The island and the surrounding reef is absolutely awesome. Transfer from the airport and arranging the sea plane is very smooth, no headaches, our flight was delayed, they still did everything to make sure we catch the final sea plane of the day.

Wonderful hotel with beachfront location. Super attentive staff always welcoming you with a smile. We did a couple of excursions with them and they were great. It was by far the best hotel in our trip to Maldives. They supply beach towels every day and lovely breakfast. We tried the dinner at the beach and it was great.

The resort is great value for the wide variety of food and beverage options and activities and facilities. Dive centre has a very competent dive operations. large gym and spa with interesting yoga classes. Water villas are recommended. Staff across the resort do their best to make you feel attended to and welcomed.

I enjoyed my short stay in Aveyla! Very comfortable rooms. Easy access to the beach, friendly stuff, everything clean. Beautiful gym where I could continue my daily workouts with the breathtaking view and fresh breeze. This was one of the highlights of my stay. Perfect place for holidays. Thank you for having us!
