nice staff helpful all of the time. Diving was awesome and dive staff went out of their way to help at all times. such small glasses at breakfast think the resort was hoping to sell more water bottles. some diners grabbed the lunch glasses for more water which I didn't do yet seemed reasonable. too many flies around the fruit station but no one seemed bothered

It’s very near to the airport and we got to enjoy the whole island during our stay. The water sports personnel was very friendly and accommodating. WiFi was accessible in the whole island. One thing I didn’t like was the coordination of hotel transfer. They didn’t contact my previous hotel as was agreed upon the night and on the day of transfer. Also, our room didn’t have TV.

Short review on Fihalhohi Island Resort
It’s a beautiful island and my hubby and I had fabulous time in Fihalholi. Staffs were nice and friendly, food was yummy and water villa was beautiful. The only munis point for us was the time in Fihalhohi is an hour ahead which was bit of disadvantage for us. But overall We had a great experience😊✌

Lovely Reef !
Had booked a water villa and chosen this resort for the reviews of the reef. It is wonderful ! Lots of very different fish and the damaged coral seems to be repairing itself. Water villa very spacious but for the money one would have expected at least some items included in package from mini bar (as we have had from other resorts). A wide selection of food available on buffet although this seems to be themed most nights and not all to our liking during our 5 day stay. Did not meet any other British until our last day (two others) - mostly Europeans, Russian and Chinese.

All the staffs were nice, helpful & friendly. Especialy Mr. Maishan, he provided us the history of this island and its a very nice story so we can spread it to others. The island is private which is good place for take a rest. At 9.00 PM is an everday sharks and the rays feeding. There were so many of them. Amazing!

Wifi coverage was not good. Water from the taps in the room was yellowish. Water drainage in the room's toilet was bad. Apart from all these minor maintenance issues, it was a great stay and feedback given to the front reception was attended to promptly and effectively. Full board meals had wide varieties and everything was delicious.

Great resort with terrific beach
Filahohi is a great hotel. We were upgraded from a Classic room to a Comfort room. So pleased. Much lighter room with more space. Very clean always. The food was OK.Well all the resort hotels seem to do buffets. Lagoon was very clean but a bit deeper than I had expected so didn't get outside the reef.

Great snorkeling, activities and accommodations
The boat ride was about 45 mins from the airport and costed us $140 per person roundtrip. The hotel was quite organized and knew of our arrival and departure times and making accommodations for them. We booked the half board option that included breakfast and dinner. Which was perfect because while being on the beach most the day we just snacked during lunch time with food we brought with us to the island. Or they had another restaurant on island that had made to order food and was good option as well if you were hungry outside of the buffet times. Buffet had decent food and good options. The snorkeling here was amazing, I've traveled all over the world and always snorkel every chance I get, and it was amazing here. I highly recommend it, great value for the accommodations and services provided.

Paradise on earth
We stayed for 3 days, 2 nights and luckily, during our stay it never rained despite the fact that Maldives is known for a very unpredictable weather. House reef is amazing. Clear waters, rich marine life. We checked in at an over water bungalow and I am lost for words to describe how beautiful it was. Everything was so worth it. A little tip, go for the All-inclusive when booking. It will save you some cash. Food were delish! Hope to be back soon :)

Perfect for an Anniversary Break
Reception - Welcoming with a nice cool drink. All very organised. Good explanation of how meal timings etc worked. Room - We stayed in a Comfort Room which was reasonably large, clean,comfortable with A/C and en suite. A maid and turn down service was provided every day. Any issues dealt with very promptly by maintenance team. Meals - We were half board but changed to all inclusive. This was due largely to cost of drinks making it an attractive option. All meals were buffet style with plenty of choice - inc vegetarian. All waiters very polite and helpful. Whole thing overseen by the Master Chef in attendance. Breakfast could have run a little later but the cut off time was probably to reflect the timings of trips/diving etc Staff - All very friendly and helpful Airport transfer - Speedboat can be daunting for some....particularly if a little frail or prone to travel sickness. It takes about 40 mins. Return trip per couple approx US$280 You are met at airport which makes the arrival process seamless. Facilities/Trips _ Its a beach resort so these are mainly watersports etc. Plenty of opportunities for diving, snorkelling etc which can all be arranged via Reception. Prices range fro US$ 30 - 140 per person for trips. However you can just sit and read on beach as well...which we did...and snorkelled on the reef. Bring you own mask, fins etc as it saves money. Sun loungers are provided and are assigned to each beach hut WiFi - Is available but hit and miss to signal strengt

BEST LOCATION WITH AMAZING FOOD
It was an absolute wonderful experience. WOW, we are speechless of the beauty where this hotel sits. The staff was mostly polite and very nice. There were some bad apples but not too much to ruin your vacation. You must know this resort has an EXTRA HOUR added to Male time so all your appointments need to be to the island time, not MALE. The food is AMAZINGLY tasty and healthy. We loved every meal. No complaints at all and the room was lovely. The one thing they get you on though is the extra fees for everything in the food. The "all inclusive" is NOT all inclusive. Only covers buffet, water and some liquor. Cocktails, fresh juices and other snacks are not included. Also the snacks in mid afternoon are NOT snacks..it was pretty bad.. but outside of that..we loved every second of it!! HIGHT recommended.

Heaven on Earth
We stayed 5 nights at the water villa and it was everything we dreamed it would be. The water was crystal clear and the most beautiful shades of blues. The sand is blinding white as snow and soft as powder. It's one of the prettiest white sand beach in the world. The house reefs are amazing. It's all around the island and it's very easy for diving or snorkeling to see everything. We saw thousands of fishes of every size and color there, as well as sharks and stingrays. This island has it all. It was a 5 star experience and location. The water villa is worth every penny. We also did the all inclusive package and the food was horrible, but the island was that amazing to let us feel like we can somewhat overlook the bad food. It's the only thing that needs improvement and it would be easy. We didn't have a single meal where there is fresh seafood, they use preserved tuna only. We also paid an extra $200 for valentine meal, that was the only decent meal we had but it was not worth its price since it was on top of the all inclusive. The staff was great and the island runs like clock work, everything is on time. Even with the bad food we would love to go back and if they improve the food, it wouldn't be a 3 star resort.

Good place for snorkelling!
It was a great stay. The room was beautiful (we have a comfort room). Great place to snorkelling. We saw turtles and beautiful fishes. The rent for snorkelling's gear is very expensive (15$US per day). The food is great. We really enjoyed our week in this hotel!

Good place for snorkelling
It was a great stay. The room was very beautiful (we have a premium room), in front of the beach. But the first night, we didn't have water and we have to call several times to know what happened. Finally, we suggest to take a shower in another room. Great place to snorkelling. We saw turtles and beautiful fishes. The rent for snorkelling's gear is very expensive (15$US per day). The food is great. We really enjoyed our week in this hotel!

Almost paradise!
- It's paradise in the Indian Ocean anywhere in Maldives, and we got a taste of it in Fihalholi! - Ocean water is pristine, beaches are covered with fine powdery sands, trees and greens are overflowing, complemented with the cleanliness that we believe were well maintained. - Excellent view of sunrise and sunset from the beach. - We saw many multi-colored fishes while snorkeling. - Room 12, where we stayed was just 30 seconds to 1 minute away from the beach. - Food was delicious; our tummies were filled with sumptuous food thrice a day - If not on all-inclusive plan - water and other beverages are to be purchased, rates expensive (1.5 L water = 5 USD) - Ferry to Resort from Airport and vice versa - Fee of USD 140 for roundtrip per person to be paid directly to resort, seems bit expensive - We just thought that the staff were "prohibited" to do extra interaction with guests; though I think Asians as they are, they are friendlier. It wouldn't hurt if the staff would have some more chitchats with the guests, provided that their job is not compromised and if the guests themselves are willing to interact as well.

It's a beautiful Island, many colourful fishes around house reef. Every thing is good except the staff take my luggage to other guys speedboat when I check out. Spend 2 hours wait the speedboat back. Just let us find somewhere to wait, it's a very bad experience.

島の規模からするとビーチの面積が小さく感じた。 2階建ての1階に宿泊したところ、チェックアウト前日の夜に部屋に戻ると床が濡れていて、上を見上げたら、天井の一部に水滴があり、レセプションにクレームを告げると、部屋を変えることになった。原因は、2階でエアコンを使用し、1階がエアコンを使用していないと、温度差で天井が結露するそうで、事前に説明がないと防ぎようのない事態であったし、建物の構造の問題であるので、リノベーションする必要があると思った。 デザートを除いた食事は、モルディブの他のリゾートと比較して、どれも味しかった。
