The Residence Maldives Resort

The sea villa I stayed at Falhumaafushi was simply amazing! It looked exactly as on the pictures on the internet but all in 360* view when you enter the rooms :-) The rooms themselves were very lighted and clean, so was it the full time I stayed there after the cleaning service did its job. Coffee came from a Nespresso machine with 3 kind of flavors, soft drinks and some beer (Heineken) from the mini bar that was daily "resetted". AC was placed in the bedroom area so the other 2 rooms (lobby/bathroom) were taking up hear quickly staying warmer most of the times while it was impossible to reduce AC at night having some trouble to sleep. The bed was big and matress was great but pillows were a little to stiff so if you have issues with your neck, better bring your own one, Aditionally they provide you with an LED flashlight, water security vests, sunbed toppers, glasses and mugs. Bathroom had an open space bath tub in front of the large windows, so you could bath right in front of the ocean with a great view. The private pool area was covered with wooden wall sets so privacy was given at all times. Each villa provided the guest a bike to reach the island destinations on his/her own. Else you could easily call the reception for a buggy to pick you up and take you out. The friendliness of almost all employees was overwhelming. You meet someone and received a friendly greeting, no matter if gardener or manager. Only dislikes: small variety of minibar content (not 5* like), management of signing the refilling bills (staff came out calling you to sign the bills while you were busy - bills were 0$ anyways). If you read until now and consider booking this destination, you will certainly not regret this decision.
