Forfaits vacances – Ookolhufinolhu

Absolutely fantastic stay- we were met at Male airport and looked after to our flight to Ifuru Island which is outstanding. All the staff looked after us with extreme courtesy and were extremely welcoming. Everywhere was very clean and cared for and the food very variable and to a high standard. Snorkelling was amazing we saw fish/stingrays/reef sharks/turtles/ resident heron. On our return we were met again at Male airport and looked after and helped to check in for our flight home. Cannot recommend this Island strongly enough ! ALL the staff were very dedicated and very hard working and so sorry can’t remember everyone’s names but very much felt a warm/friendly/family atmosphere. Shout out to: Monika, Tharaka, Sara, Diva, Donni, manager of waterfront(sorry don’t know name), Shiyaau, Basse, Pradeeb, Shiva, Raazan, Juli, Ahmed, Fraish (sorry if spelt wrong - captain of Komomo) thank you to everyone for a very special holiday

Kagi is a beautiful resort, with an exceptional house reef and remarkable marine life. We enjoyed the vast majority of our stay. Unfortunately, one incident was entirely out of keeping with the standard one would expect from a property positioned at this level. My wife returned to the all-you-can-eat buffet and was told by a staff member that she could only dine “one time” and was asked to leave in front of other guests. Management later apologized and confirmed that no such policy exists. This made the incident all the more difficult to understand. After we raised the matter of compensation, we were offered 20% off massages we would still have had to purchase. For a resort presenting itself as a luxury property, we found this response rather inadequate. True luxury is not simply beautiful surroundings; it is also discretion, judgment and the ability to handle mistakes properly. It is a pity, as the rest of our stay was very enjoyable and several other members of staff were genuinely exceptional.

We have chosen this hotel for the kitesurfing activity specifically. Finally we got the bad surprise to discover completely different prices when we arrived (we can’t practice on the island and nobody informed us before our arrival despite our emails). We are so disappointed because of this, even if the hotel was great, we would have chosen another one if we had been informed correctly before. Price list should be updated because not true on the hotel website. (Almost 700$ of boat fee for 2 hours + 114$ for one our rental) that’s not serious from such an hotel.
