Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

While staying for 4 days in Conrad, I had great and wonderful time. I had never felt before as much as here regarding service, facility, food and everything. Especially, I sincerely appreciate thst all of staff are soooo kind in Conrad! Thanks for your kindest service and make us feel best experience in Maldives💗 And also our host, Fasy, thank you so much and hope we can meet again🤗

Geez, this is a tough review to write. There is so much to love about this place - the location and its beauty and - especially for us - the dive center run by Rabe. Alas, there were a couple things that made our stay something just a slight notch from perfect. In fairness, these might be minor and meaningless to some readers. But that's the thing about reviews... we're all different. With that caveat, here is my Conrad breakdown: 1. Location (5/5): Conrad is located in the South Ari Atoll, about 30min via sea plane from Male. The Atoll generally and Rangali specifically is simply stunning! Perfect water and quite beautiful, with lots of greenery and a couple decent paths for walking. 2. The resort layout (4.5/5): Note that there are two separate islands, connected by an OTW walkway. One is designed more for families while the other is billed as quieter and adults only. We stayed on the latter. The tricky part is that most of the amenities are on the larger island, so expected a solid 10-15min walk from your villa to get there. You can call for a golf cart to pick you up, but we almost always walked. Not an issue for us, but this is something you should understand. There is a restaurant on the adult-only side, but when we stopped there for lunch, the host said that we should know that the food still comes from the restaurant at the other island and we should expect about 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We decided to walk to the main island. 3. Food (5/5): Every meal we had was excellent. The breakfast buffet had all the standard American, Western and Asian offerings you'd expect. Lunches were outstanding, too. 4. Staff (5/5): Everyone was friendly and attentive, especially the restaurant staff. 5. Room (4/5): The villa was spacious and comfortable. But it's starting to show its age. For example, the sliding doors needed a repair after we settled in. Also, our room was not airtight and when the intense winds arrived (we stayed during the rainy season), a lot of hot humid air came in and the AC just could not keep up. And this is a place where you 100% want the AC to work! 6. Dive Center (5/5): We came here specifically to dive, and that's how we spent each of our 4 days. Ocean Divers is absolutely top notch, and the manager/lead guide, Rabie, is outstanding. We went out with him each day and he's really awesome! So much fun and great memories!! So overall, were I allowed, I'd give Conrad a 4.5 because not everything was quite perfect. But here is the thing - I'd definitely go back again just for the diving. The location and Rabie are that good, and make up for just a couple misses for us.

Amazing stay at Conrad Rangali Island! All the staff were very sweet, helpful and professional. Great food, great people, great fun - Great holiday! Also got the opportunity to swim with a whale shark and manta-rays. Definitely not the last time visiting😊

Overall my entire experience at the Conrad Maldives was extremely enjoyable. Our hostess Linda was very helpful and accommodating during our entire stay. She set us up with many enjoyable experience during our honeymoon and I really appreciated her timeliness and promptness to solving any of our issues. Shark over at Vilu and their whole normal staff were all great. Zaid was very kind every morning and having conversations about diving with him, Soe and Faisal was always a great start to my day. The spa packages we did were also a highlight of the trip for my wife and I and the girls in the spa made both of our couple experiences unforgettable. The diving was one of my highlights of the entire trip. The dive center manager Rabie was kind, so knowledgeable, a great teacher and an excellent dive master and instructor. I was lucky enough to go through my advanced open water diver course with Rabie and he made sure while I was learning the skills that I needed to learn, we still had some truly amazing and unforgettable dive experiences. We were able to dive with Manta Rays, and that was probably the coolest dive I have ever done and potentially ever will do. Rabie made a point to have all of us who were diving see multiple different dive sites so it always felt like we were doing something different which was truly spectacular. Overall I will definitely be bringing my wife back and visiting Rabie, Linda, and the entire team at Conrad.

Another great holiday at Conrad Maldives, second stay in 3 months. Staff, Service, Food, simply the best, we already booked our next stay… and thanx to our personal butler Hasiam who has almost become part of our family now 🙏🙏 Thanx again and see you all next year. Fam Zähringer, Denmark 🇩🇰
