I highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to escape life for a moment. As an extremely busy individual, this resort allowed me to reset and relax, which was exactly what i needed. ##### Russell Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Dec 30, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A real Maldivian island We had an extraordinary experience in JA Manufaru. First of all, the service was excellent. Each villa was assigned a Villa Host. The Villa Host of mine is super nice and helpful. Not only the in-villa service was great, all staff in the island were very friendly. Apart from the service, staff there enhanced our travel experience by providing us a glimpse of Maldivian culture. We had a chance to get to try traditional Maldivian food. Also, most of the staff are local Maldivians. We talked to them and learn more about the Maldives. ##### Nicole ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had the pleasure of staying for a duration of six nights and would have loved to have had the chance to extend our stay further. I had the pleasure of working with my personal attendant, Firdavs, who consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism as well as a strong commitment to meeting my needs. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my requests were promptly addressed and taken care of. Victoria and Mark ensured a personalized experience for each guest. The water villas are truly impressive. The island provides a Maldivian ambiance, offering numerous home-like comforts. I will definitely return Dr. Brown ##### Lisa Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### ENWEI Feb 6, 2024 The overall feeling is unsatisfactory. At this price, it is really not worth it. Regardless of the cleanliness or frequency of room cleaning, it is not satisfactory. The butler has too many customers to serve and cannot take care of all the guests. Diving conditions were average. The wind and waves were too strong and there were almost no water sports. Unfortunately, this was an unsatisfying trip. ##### ENWEI Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pratik Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Peaceful laid back resort. Amazing fine dining experience with receptive service. Food spread is posh, especially at theme nights. Presentation is very visually appealing. However, the a-la-carte menu is limited and the taste is not up to the level of the presentation. Not a lot of night life or night time activities. That is the main pain point. Everything shuts down by 6pm. There is not even an indoor/night swimming pool open after this time. This resort mostly targets people in their mid-late thirties or higher. Not for younger couples as much. Upon arrival, they insist you download the JA Manafaru app but this app misses critical features such as navigation. A suggested itinerary either by host or in the app would have been super useful but was missing. The water villa was very beautiful and the views were stunning. Mini bar was well stocked and included in the all-inclusive package. The ocean access ladder in water villas need to be better maintained. They were rusty and caused cuts and bruises when we tried getting in and out of the water. It rained for 2-4 hrs everyday during daytime during our stay. That’s when we realized that the resort has very little to do except dine when the weather is unfavorable. Water activities are limited. ##### Pratik Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JEAN CHRISTOPHE PIERRE Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un lieu extraordinaire .... avec une équipe aux petits soins pour vous Extrêmement professionnel Rien ne manque et tout est fait pour votre bonheur a faire une fois dans sa vie...
