Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort

Terrible butler service. No service actually.

Do not think. Just book it for paradise..

시암월드를 거쳐 래플스에 지냈는데. 비교가 안될 수가 없고 수중환경이 정말 좋았습니다. 비치빌라 최고고, 가오리 상어. 니모와 도리 엄청 봤습니다. 기념품도 마니 받고 리프레시하고 선물 잔뜩받은 기분입니다

We just spent another splendid time on this wonderful island in the deep South. Arrival procedure is always impressive with the guys playing the traditional Maldivian drums whilst GM Dennis and his team welcomed us warmly. This time we stayed in the stunning sunset beach residence. The villa is spacious, with a large combined bedroom/living room and an oversized bed. The bathroom comes with a huge sunken bathtub, adorable Jasmine bath amenities, and certainly an additional outdoor shower. Outside area houses a pool and diverse sitting and lounging options. All units provide a butler service, our Nattu was very nice and always supporting. This small and secluded island is truly beautiful, surrounded by a stunning lagoon and covered with lush tropical vegetation. At the moment, the beaches are almost on every part in a very good condition. I found the area between the firepit and the supply jetty currently pretty attractive with a broad stretch of beach and calm water. Best spot for sunset cockails is without doubt the iconic Long Bar. We loved sitting there and sipping drinks whilst the sun went down behind the infinity pool. Dinner on our first evening took place at Firepit, featuring a Maldivian & Asian themed night. There is a new chef from Italy on site, we rated the culinary experience superior compared to before. They added a special set-up with different shacks, all come with a great selection of food. It’s a rustic, romantic venue with chairs and tables in the sand. During night time, the paths and the entrance to the outlets are enlightened by torches which is pretty atmospheric. Main restaurant Thari boasts another fantastic location. Right on sunset beach with great views over the ocean, many palm trees and nice wooden furniture which blends perfectly into the nature around. Breakfast is on an à-la-carte base (yet, I have to admit I love a breakfast buffet ;-)) with different menus on offer, e.g. Maldivian, English, Arabian. You can then select two more dishes on top. We enjoyed all meals in this venue. One of the evenings we went over to the ocean pearls, the separated overwater area which is only accessible by a short boat ride. It hosts the overwater villas and Yuzu restaurant along with the Yapa bar. It was a good experience, yet food-wise last times it was a tad more to my personal preference. But this is of course all very individual and hubby was satisfied with his choice. Allover, there is a fabulous staff to guest ratio which is noticeable in all venues. Service was always very attentive and warm-hearted. Also I would like to highlight the complimentary island water which is served in every outlet. Snorkelling is definitely a great experience here at Raffles. The coral situation is pretty good in the South, even if we could see some bleached corals as well. The reef is easily accessible, best from sunrise side and comes with a good amount of fish, anyway not so many sharks and turtles seen like in former times. Well, it’s n

Just arrived home from a week at Raffles on Meradhoo Island, what an amazing place words can’t describe how breathtaking everything is. It’s how l imagined a Tropical Island would like, but even better than my imagination could picture…….. From the moment we landed in Male after a long flight we were taken care of by Raffles Staff who took care of everything, to the connecting flight than the boat transfer, was a nice surprise and to make things even better they did the same on return, right to baggage check in at Male for flight back to Singapore, which l thought was a very nice touch…. The Staff were amazing while we were on the Island from our Butler Yasru, who took care of everything and took us Snorkeling everyday which was a highlight. And all the other Staff who are too many to name, but who did everything to make our stay pretty special. I love Pastries and Coffee but am a pretty harsh critic on both, but l have to say the Pastries are some of the best l’ve ever tasted, the Almond Croissant is too die for…. I had the pleasure of meeting the Pastry Chef , Thank You Sir ! Cappacino, 2 large every morning Yum….. So once again, Thank You Yasru and all the Staff for making our holiday extra special….. Ashley.

I am actually out of words to describe how exceptional our stay was ! We had waited over 2 years to go on honeymoon and oh my Lord it was soooo worth it ! The Raffles did not disappoint ! The hotel itself is like a dream all the facilities are amazing. We stayed in a water villa and it was beyond what we could have ever dreamed ! Just splendid !! And huge ! The bed was the biggest I had ever seen (3m !!!!!). The food was absolutely succulent and so fresh ! Divine. But I think what really did it for us on top of it all was the staff ! Oh my word the staff ! And especially our butler Koky who will always have a special place in my heart for all she did for us ! Her constant care, attention to detail, professionalism, proactiveness and kindness will stay with us forever along will the many beautiful notes she left for us in the room day after day. From the bottom of our heart thank you !!

After a year, this is my second stay at the Raffles Maldives Meradhoo. Returning to the place I've been thinking about day and night, seeing familiar figures, everything is so beautiful. The hotel took extra care of me for my second visit to the island, meeting all my requirements as much as possible. They also provided me with Yasir, the butler from last year, who made me feel particularly good when I met old friends. Yasir's service was still excellent, and they made a reasonable plan for my entire trip. I would like to give special praise to two other employees, one is Liz, a Chinese waiter at Yuzu restaurant, who can communicate and introduce dishes in Chinese. This familiar feeling is great. The other one is AKSAM who works at the water villa, and his service is very enthusiastic, which makes me feel great respect. And the staff at Watersports have demonstrated a high level of professionalism in projects such as motorboats, deep diving, and sea going. I sincerely thank all the staff of the hotel for providing me with perfect protection during my vacation and leaving wonderful memories in my life. Last year, I said 'see you', but this year I am still willing to say 'see you again'. 时隔一年，这是我第二次入住莱佛士酒店。回到日思夜想的地方，看到熟悉的身影，一切是那么的美好。 酒店对于第二次登岛的我格外照顾，尽可能的满足了我各种要求，也为我配备了去年的管家Yasir，见到老朋友的感觉特别好，Yasir的服务依然是那么的好，为我整个行程做了合理的规划。 这里特别表扬另两名员工，一个是在Yuzu餐厅的中文服务员Liz，能用中文交流，介绍菜品，这种熟悉的感觉很棒。 另一个是在水屋工作的AKSAM，他的服务非常热忱，让我感受到了极大的尊重。 以及在watersports的工作人员，无论是摩托艇、深潜、出海等项目，他们都展现了极高的专业性。 我衷心的感谢酒店的各位员工，为我的假期提供了完美的保障，在我生命中留下美好的回忆。 去年，我说"see you"，我想，今年我仍然愿意说，"see you again"。

We just got back from our trip to Raffles Maldives and we can’t be happier with our experience. The staff took care of our transfers including the flight from Male to the island close to the hotel and back and provided assistance the entire time. Nattu was our butler and he went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! He and Mr. Imran were very helpful and kind. Manku was our waiter most days and always made sure to have our green juice ready, he knew so much about the islands and shared interesting information about the marine life. Nattu arranged for us to go snorkeling with a very nice man who’s name I can’t remember but he took us to the reef and we saw sharks, an eagle ray a turtle and many many fish! Throughout our stay we saw so many beautiful fish, black tip reef sharks (pups), eagle rays, turtles and spinner dolphins. We also went to the spa and got to relax! Reni and Ms. Chona were amazing. We can’t wait to come back, everyone was so nice and friendly and the food was great, specially the breakfast! I also loved that they seem to care a lot about the environment and have zero plastic!

I came to Maldives for vacation with my friends. I had a great experience at Raffles. Every employee was very enthusiastic. Thank you Amy and Yasru for taking us snorkeling, and the beautiful housekeeper Miss Fara, who answered our questions very enthusiastically. The snorkeling environment is also very good. We also saw a small shark. I was very happy. I will definitely come back next time if I have the chance!
