Amazing

31 Mar 2025
I think everything was pretty amazing. This is my 3rd time at Manafaru. Early check-in and late check-out were absolutely awesome. The trip to Maldives is long so this is a game changer and it makes want to go back to Manafaru again because of this. On the constructive side, the only thing that comes to mind is to grow the number of restaurants open in the "low days". There are days were 5 or 6 dinner options exist but other days the choice is down to just 2 options. Two options is too few and Andiamo is a less premium option with fewer protein options.

another wonderful stay

31 Mar 2025
this was our 5th visit to JA Manafaru, a place we have come to regard as our second home, from the moment you emerge with your luggage your every need is seamlessly taken care of by the wonderful staff in all departments. we love it all so it's difficult to pinpoint highlights but it's clear every time we return that work is going on to improve the customer experience be it the landscape, the menus at the 4 restaurants and we know from staff that attention is paid to improve their living quality inside the resort. the plan seems to be to increase business by word of mouth and we're very happy to do that when asked but we met so many new visitors this time that see social media posts about how fantastic the resort is and that's why they were visiting. we like to walk round the island a lot for exercise and each evening we see staff meetings in the restaurants talking about the upcoming service so even though it's repetitive they pay very careful attention to making sure every guest gets the best experience whenever they come. what else to say? it was busier than last time we came but you wouldn't know it, your host is on hand 24/7 to attend to anything you might need, extra numbers at meal times are coped with effortlessly, all very impressive but most of all very enjoyable. oh, and you're in a 5 star resort but it's not overwhelming, it's relaxed, bare foot, nothing that you'd call formal which is exactly what we want on this fantastic desert island destination. thank you Jason and everybody, we truly love coming back, and back :)

JA Manafaru is the best example of exceptional hospitality across the board!

28 Feb 2025
The most excellent holiday again! The staff, the food and the island and amenities are amazing, this was our 2nd time at JA Manafaru and it will not be the last! We have booked a Deluxe Beach villa each stay and we have stayed for 12 nights. Sabaah our host was incredible as he was the first holiday! He made our son Ralph's trip with the scavenger hunt! Chef Moosa and his kitchen team were also amazing, the food just gets better and better! The Restaurant teams - they were fabulous! Special Mentions to Ashraf, Mohammad, Nazim, and so many more that we could list!! The staff are just lovely hard working people! The food, the villa, the people, everything was incredible - please just keep doing what you are doing. JA Manafaru is the best example of exceptional hospitality across the board!

Trip to paradise

28 Feb 2025
This was our second visit to Manafaru, after having spent a terrific time there already in 2023. Once again, we had a truly magnificent vacation and enjoyed every single minute - from the moment we arrived until waving goodbye. The island, although tiny, is presenting itself with an immense variety of vegetation and the villas, restaurants and other facilities are placed skillfully in the landscape. All areas are kept in immaculate condition and the gardeners and service staff are doing an outstanding job. The villas (in our case a water villa) are absolutely stunning and provide everything you could possible ask from your accommodation. The variety of foods and drinks (we were on the dine around all inclusive plan, which is highly recommended) is excellent - the Kakuni, White Orchid and Ocean Grill are all superb. The spa is offering a variety of different treatments - all that we tested were outstanding. There is much more to test and see on the island, like the water sports centre, the recreation pavilion/area with a small, but well curated, museum, the infinity pool - however, the thing that makes JA Manafaru stand out from the many stunning Maldivian resorts, is the incredibly friendly and helpful staff - from gardener to maintenance to service associates - every single one has added their spark to making our stay incredible.
