Reethi Beach Resort

Our last Maldivean holidays at One & Only Reethi Rah resort in 2012 was a memorable one. This year, holiday at NH Collection Reethi resort, was even more exquisite and made a lasting impression on all my family members. The staff of all the three restaurants were excellent, viz., Mellyana, Saajan, Alla, Gaurang, Smriti, Sneha, Baba, Majid, Kartoun, Reefa etc. etc. The bar staff viz., Mayank, Imran and Queen. At the Spa Omi, and Tini. Not forgetting the dazzling band, Ruth and Marlon and DJ Joana with her favorite song 'Joana'. The house keeping staff were excellent with their art work on the beds. The food was yummy, to our satisfaction and all out efforts were made by the chefs to make our stay the most pleasant one. At front office, Vishaka, Kiki, Diana and Nazleen were very courteous. Three kudos to the entire staff including the back stage staff. The most satisfied and happiest guest was my grandson Ezekiel.

Overall, the stay was wonderful. The arrival was trouble-free by seaplane. Transfers to and from the island went perfectly. We were greeted warmly and felt very comfortable from the start. All staff, whether service or management, were available around the clock for any questions and requests. (Thanks especially to Kiki). The accommodations (we had a Beach Villa) were very clean and were cleaned daily. Fresh towels and plenty of drinking water and coffee capsules (AI — all-inclusive) are standard. The house reef is very beautiful. There is a wide variety of typical reef fish. The entry is well marked and easily accessible directly from the beach. The food leaves nothing to be desired. The selection is large. Especially the desserts are wonderful. The food in the restaurants was very good. There is a lovely garden in the center of the island for vegetables and herbs. The bars offer something for every taste. Pool service is excellent. There is live music in the evening and during the sundowner. We had no mosquitoes. There was no disturbance from noise and the nights were pleasant.

Wow! What a trip! This is our third time int he Maldives but first for this resort and would say this is my favourite so far! The newly refurbished rooms are gorgeous, spacious and everything you could ask for. Food delicious! Would have liked a little more variety but I feel because the resort was quiet this could have been why the offering was smaller. Service - outstanding! I would like to make a special mention to Kiki for helping make my fiancée’s birthday extra special, nothing was too much to ask and made sure we had the most perfect time! Chandra for being the most friendly and welcoming Bar man! We had so many good chats for our last drink of the night on our way back to the water villa! Shahid in the restaurant was also amazing, always taking the time to ask how we were and learning what drinks we were having to have ready for us! And lastly our cleaner, Wattana the most loveliest lady! She took so much care and time making sure our room was perfect twice a day! The marine life was more than we could have ever imagined too. If we were to offer any constructive criticism it would be to offer more/different entertainment in the evenings, more variety of food offerings/more restaurants and the small things that wouldn’t cost the hotel much - to include in the all inclusive (e.g pizza, ice cream and chocolate milkshakes). The gym could also do with a refurb. Overall one of the best stays we have had and leave feeling content, happy and ultimately relaxed!
