Joy Island Maldives by Cocoon Collection

Новый курорт на райском острове. Прекрасный пляж, понравились ребята в water sports - все оборудование новое, рабочее и сами сотрудники приятные в общении. Персонал в основном ресторане очень улыбчивый. Прекрасно встречают с барабанами и провожают, очень атмосферно. Много еды, хороший выбор, вкусный тунец, неплохое мясо бывает. Очень много всего включено по питанию, для нас даже было слишком. В номере очень жарко, без кондиционера никак. Были на других курортах - там у вилл более высокие крыши и солома сверху, защищает виллу от перегрева. Здесь такого нет, вилла раскаляется на солнце. сама вилла очень простая, как домик на базе отдыха в России ) не хватило возможности подключить телефон к ТВ, более современных розеток, зарядок. Кондиционер в beach villa висит напротив кровати, не простыть почти нет возможности.. В номере включено много напитков, вина. Не знаю, кто может столько всего потреблять.. как по мне, немного избыточно. Отель новый - растительности пока нет, очень жарко передвигаться по острову, так как пока нет тени. На основном пляже напротив beach villa стоят волнорезы, на фото их не увидела. По факту они конечно спасают от волн, но портят кадр) для красивых фото приходилось уходить в район water sports. А так остров замечательный! Хоть и не большой. Это наш третий курорт на Мальдивах, надеюсь когда-нибудь вернуться, если курорт разрастется)

酒店餐廳的廚師很好，很友善， 酒店的保姆很有耐心 英文很好 酒店管家和經理 能力很差，對比中國管家他們還需要有很大很大的改善。他們酒店的管家和經理我覺得他要再上一些持續進修課程，當管家的能力實在太差勁。原定預訂了兩晚水上屋帶泳池和一晚沙灘屋帶泳池，當我長途跋涉到達酒店，告訴我，我第一晚的水上屋帶泳池滿房了，安排第二種房間給我，旁邊還有很多不同國籍的人入住，只有我們是中國人，感覺就像被不認真對待，把我們的房間讓給了他人，水上屋帶泳池的定價比我們入住的房間是較昂貴的。他們給我們的彌補，只是我們用房間的差價買了。第二晚終於安排了我們入住水上屋帶泳池，但最令人憤怒的事情，就是要我們早上10:00把房間交出來，然後再轉去沙灘屋，我說退房時間不是12點嗎？為什麼要我10點就要把房間交出來？那為什麼？我昨天入住的時候不是早上呢？我小朋友還在房間裏睡覺。另外酒店的沙灘上有很多垃圾，馬爾代夫不是一個很漂亮的地方嗎？為什麼充滿了垃圾呢？這些都是酒店排出來的嗎？全部都是由鮮榨橙汁橙皮和其他水果皮？另外酒店毛巾是黃黃灰灰的，不是雪白的？

It's hard to put into meaningful words just how perfect our holiday at Joy was! We took our 7 and 15 year olds for 10 nights over and it was honestly out of this world! Speedboat transfer - efficient staff quickly made themselves known at the airport to get us across to our boat. Within 20 minutes of arriving we were on our way. 45 minutes to Joy, with water bottles provided. Arrival at Joy was very welcoming, you get to know that drum beat after a short while due to several daily arrivals and departures. We had a Beach Suite Pool and it was just perfect, the outside bathroom a showstopper. Pool gets some afternoon sun and plenty of shade away from the heat of the beach which was nice. We had 2 loungers out on the beach but 2 more were quickly brought around. Fridge topped up daily with soft drinks, beer and wine. Towels changed twice daily if needed. Everything was pristine. The Market - I was worried before we arrived that the food would be boring as there's not much choice of restaurants other than the market. I was actually blown away with the choice and all the different live cooking areas and themed nights, it was fantastic! The kids loved Sandon and the van, as well as the room of sin (dessert). On Easter Sunday there was a gala dinner and the effort they went to was epic. Particular mention for Dita - what a lady! Nothing was too much trouble for her. Excursions we did shark watching, sunset Dolphin watching, sunset fishing and sunrise fishing. All were amazing! I caught a small nurse shark which was quickly released when we saw what it was 😅 We caught some other fish including a Dolphin fish, green jobfish, red snapper amongst others. We had some prepared by the chefs for us which was an experience we cherish. The Pool, rainbow bar, variety of entertainment, watersports, crystal clear water and white sands. All highlights never to be forgotten. Thank you to Marel our island host, always on hand for anything we needed 🙏 We've never returned to the same place twice as there's a big wide world out there we are trying to see, however, we will 100% be back at Joy in the next year or 2, hopefully we can have another perfect holiday then too!

Very beautiful and well maintained resorts. Wonderful beaches! Very cute accommodation with sea view. Extremely comfortable beds. Amazing and delicious cuisine. And even more. The stuff will make you feel welcome everywhere. Special thanks to very creative Mr. "I am always good" Naahil and extremely helpful Alisha. Not to be forgotten always smiling Kudy and Mr. Fernando taking care of us in Palm Beach.

Joy Island was our third trip to the Maldives and I have to say it is the greatest resort we have stayed in so far. We stopped in Olhuveli and Meedhupparu before, both fantastic resorts, but Joy Island just has that extra magic. The staff were amazing. I know everyone says it but it is absolutely true. Fernando, Destiny, Dita and the manager Bandula, they always had time to have a quick chat or go that extra mile for you. You even get your own concierge, and she was always available to help so a shout out to Shify. There are many others whose names escape me, but every single member of staff treated you feel like royalty. The island itself is beautiful. A real paradise that has perfectly placed rooms to take in all the views as well as being absolutely spotless. The food here is on another level. I thought Olhuveli had amazing meals, but Joy Island is another step up. In fact, everything about this resort is a step up from anything we've been to before and we have been all over the world. If you're on the fence, don't be. Just book it and treat yourself to a simply amazing resort.

Having just returned from 10 nights at Joy Island, we can only describe it as paradise. The moment we stepped off the speedboat we were met with a huge welcome from the Joy team and introduced to our island host Jazey who took the best care of us for our entire stay, nothing was too much trouble. We were a little concerned beforehand that the all inclusive package included most meals in the same restaurant, however, this certainly was not an issue, the food is varied and delicious, even our 14 year old who can be particular enjoyed each meal. The whole Joy team work tirelessly to make sure you are catered for in every way. A special thank you to Gracia, Juni and Candy in the restaurant for making us feel so welcome each mealtime, Nivan and Zidan in the bar for always making sure our drinks were topped up, this is to name but a few, all staff deliver such a high level of service. Buggys are available throught the island, a special mention to Iain one of the drivers who is the nicest driver we have ever met. We stayed in a beach villa, stepping out each morning onto your own stretch of beach was breathtaking. Upon departure not only did our host Jazey join us to wave goodbye but also the resort manager along with other members of the team, they go above and beyond and the small things really make this such a special place. Overall we had the most incredible experience at Joy Island and will definitely return soon.
