Very nice and friendly staff, only one problem on this island is, that you get in the evening nearly always the same food. It is Tuna fish in lemon, kapern, chilli sauce and so on. You get every day grilled beef or Spaghetti. This island has also a big problem with mosquitos. if they don’t spread every day gas or poison you will have a lot of mosquitos bites. You have to intervene at the reception to get daily your “mosquitos service”.
Really nice villas with a beautiful beach. We enjoyed our stay. The only downside is that the food is pretty repetitive and there are not many options.
Sauberkeit in der Villa war okay aber im Restaurant war es gar nicht gut. Teller, Gläser, Stühle und Tische waren nicht sauber. Essen war okay. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Dall’arrivo alla partenza sorriso e leggerezza!
Accoglienza, ospitalità, disponibilità meritano voto 10. Isola verde, rigogliosa (da curare maggiormente).Troppe zanzare (mai viste in altri resort delle Maldive, forse fine aprile è il periodo?). Siamo ritornati con tante punture e, ciò, nonostante le ripetute disinfestazioni, anche noiose per gli odori rilasciati e da respirare. Spiaggia bella, percorribile a piedi tutt’intorno,(spesso odore acre di bruciato!). Laguna accessibile ovunque (idem per snorkeling), lato mare bello e comodo è quello senza pontili. Cucina da rivedere (con buffet più vario e internazionale), ed anche la pulizia dei tavoli (non si può apparecchiare su tovagliette usate da altri ospiti, collocando posate pulite al posto di quelle usate). Manca corretta formazione del personale addetto ai tavoli (non si può consumare il dolce con il piatto dello spezzatino ancora a lato ). Invece, preciso e puntuale il riordino della camera, grazie Khan, per la cura dedicataci. Sono in corso ristrutturazioni molto utili.... sarebbe apprezzato uno spazio per il dopo cena o per qualsiasi momento lo si desidera alternativo al piccolo spazio,(con 4 pagliette e 2 gazebi) in prossimità della piscina e del bar dedicato. Cari saluti al Manager J.Gabor, grazie per aver accolto le mie richieste; al referente Andri per l’accoglienza, l'alta professionalità e la grande disponibilità. Grazie a Tutti, il sorriso e la serenità trasmessaci (dopo due anni di pandemia) hanno reso la nostra vacanza veramente leggera!

Excellent customer service. All members of staff worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. We were cared for as soon as we landed at Male. On our return a member of staff was with us until we completed check in to make sure everything went smoothly.

I was in Kihaa Maldives years and years ago a nd was very excited to go back. The island is beautiful and beautifully located. It is a paradise. The staff will make your stay incredible, especially the bar and cleaning stuff. What we did not enjoy is that the management is quite poor and they are clearly not organised. On pick up they were about to make us go on a domestic flight instead of the sea plane we paid additionally for. This was quickly addressed. Then two of our activities were cancelled without us being informed, we found out as we were about to go on the activity, they tried to charge us extra for things that were not included, they continued to misinform us, also with our PCRs, our transfer back to Male etc. The food quality is incredibly disappointing for a 5 star hotel. It is really rather terrible. Apparently the island has recently changed management - we hope it will change management again because the current members are not interested in giving guests the experience that a resort and island like this should. We recommend the place, it is beautiful, the diving centre offers amazing activities and it’s separate to the hotel. Just bear in mind about the food and the fact that management is likely to screw something up.
Other than that, one of the best holidays we’ve had. Amazing for couples, groups of friends and families with kids too.

Decent
the hotel itself is very beautiful and quiet and lovely however they have plenty of things that they can improve on.. starting with the prices of things. for starters the room that I stayed in came up to a total of a little over US$4000 and it just wasn’t worth the money. yes the room was nice but it was not worth $4000. secondly they don’t have any all inclusive packages that would be helpful for customers to save money. breakfast and dinner is included but lunch isn’t and then the fee for lunch is $150 per day and that does not include drinks so just imagine paying that if you’re staying there for two weeks. the manager is more than helpful and so is front desk reception. most of the servers in the buffet area have very nasty attitudes & don’t like doing their job clearly. the fans are never on so it’s always ridiculously hot wherever you go.. as for breakfast dinner and lunch the options are always pretty much the same and not much to choose from.. room service should be 24 hours or at least until 4/5 am considering the fact that dinner ends at 9 PM and breakfast starts at 7 AM I’m pretty sure plenty of people are really hungry during that time frame and there are no microwaves in the rooms so people pretty much just starve until its time to eat. I would also like to add the fact that I was charged $40 for a single burger & $15 for apple juice. I understand that this is a vacation and some prices are going to be different but that is just beyond ridiculous.

One of the few known islands which you can still walk around completely on the beach.
Well organized transfer and nice reception and bar. Great dive center.
For the price, the food needs drastic improvement and rooms need some brush up. For us, the steakhouse doesn't fit with the hotel and had the best food but with a heavy price tag. We had half board and the buffet at dinner had 6 choices of main courses but only 3 meats. The meat quality was also not good and they ran out of food quickly.
For the price we paid, we would try another resort next time in the same area.
Amazing vacation. A lot of water options diving and local reef is amazing. Very quite and beautiful sites everywhere you look around the island. Loved it all!!!
Not a lot of Americans get this far. Long way to go, so don't plan on seeing many fellow Americans. It is worth it. This is at a UNSECO biosphere site. It is an island with rooms and luxury for those trying to break away from life for a few days. No cars, No stores, No sundries stores, no vending. Not a potato chip - Literally with in miles (by boat) I suggest a semi beach bum life style. Bare foot and baggies.
You eat, drink and relax and have fun. Snorkeling is great, scuba, jet ski, The sea life is abundant. Every evening an event to meet and greet at the main pool area. The rooms are very clean (housekeeping is excellent). The staff and reception learn your names and note your preferences, with you for every need. I travel often and have seen many resorts. This is in the top of the list. They work so hard to make your stay for you. Our "handler" greeter at the terminal. Can't say a enough, Took us from terminal to terminal, to process and got us on the "local" to the Island - the resort is the island and vice versa. These folks run on their own Kihaa (Island time). WIFI was problem free. If you want my honest opinion- yes worth the trip. The change from top gear to idling is a noticeable and welcome shift in your life. I say twist your lid off and let the stress bubble away.

We had an excellent week, food was very good, drinks were nice and the island is like paradise ....not to discribe in words. The staff at Kihaa Maldives is excellent they do everything to feel you comfortable. Ibrahim from the restaurant and Miron from the bar made us feel speciale every day.... many thanks for this and see you ‘ hopefully ‘ soon.
Le personnel est souriant, attentif, courtois, à l'écoute et très sympathique . Hôtel très calme, plage idyllique et eau cristalline. L'attention portée au client est exceptionnelle.
l'isola è bella. i maldiviani sono lenti e male organizzati. all inclusive è in realtà un partial inclusive, in quanto termina appena alle 22.00. organizzazione volo ritorno disastrosa
Il resort ha tutte le carte per essere un TOP level. La conduzione maldiviana ce la sta mettendo tutta e si vede. La spiaggia è attrezzata molto bene e ciascuno, anche gruppi grandi come il nostro (36 persone) ha trovato sempre disponibilità di lettini e ombra. I bungalow da quelli più basic ai super con piscine sono tutti molto grandi e bellissimi in stile maldiviano. Il ristorante, è variato e il cibo locale molto appetitoso! L'ALL inclusive comprende praticamente tutto tranne l'espresso, molto caro 8 dollari, e l'unico difetto è che termina alle 22.00. La SPA è molto cara come tutti gli extra. Che dire??? Sono tornata qui nel grigiore della città ma ho ancora negli occhi lo sconfinato colore smeraldo e il bianco riverbero della spiaggia borotalco dell'isola di Kihaa. Pero tanto di tornare presto!
Resort perfetto per chi vuole vivere una settimana in paradiso! Personale gentilissimo, soddisfa ogni richiesta e ti assiste da quando atterri a quando riparti! Unica pecca: il bagno all’aperto nella nostra beach villa non garantisce una pulizia impeccabile. Ma per il resto tutto perfetto! Anche per l’offerta di escursioni, snorkeling, scuba dive, e chi ne ha più ne metta! Grazie Kihaa!

Positivo: Qualità e quantità del cibo
Negativo: La struttura sta invecchiando ed ha bisogno di aggiornamenti
E' stato un ottimo soggiorno, e ringraziamo il responsabile Zara, e la nostra hostess Asmida per la disponibilità e le rapide risposte a tutte le nostre esigenze
Vacanza top! Sicuramente alcuni servizi posso migliorare ma nel complesso l'isola é pulita e curata, le camere pure, stanno lavorando per migliorare il tutto e rinnovarealcune zone, ma la cosa non ha creato alcun problema a noi
quindi il paradiso!
sicuramente uno dei miglioro resort dove siamo stati , per me la quinta volta e per il mio compagno l'ottava
Для тех кто привык к высокому сервису и обслуживанию, то Вам не сюда! Потому что это остров, где живёт и обитает различная живность ) и Вы приезжаете к ним в гости, в их дом ;)
Впринцепи никакого дискомфорта они не доставляют ;)
Остров небольшой, но уютный и весь зелёный ) можно даже подумать что находишься где-то в джунглях, когда прогуливаешься по дорожке вдоль пальм ))
Океан тёплый, чистый и прозрачный ;) есть риф, где можно поплавать и посмотреть на обитателей морских, а их тут очень много ;) так же советую заняться дайвингом - не пожалеете ;) особенно от людей которые тут работают - прежде всего они очень классные профессионалы! А от Русских фраз которые они знают, ещё долго будите вспоминать и смеяться ))
Песок - как мука )) можно сутки сидеть и перебирать его ))
А какие тут закаты - просто нет слов, одна лишь улыбка и слёзы на глазах ))
Персонал очень отзывчивый и дружелюбный - всегда поможет и ответит на Ваши вопросы ;)
Номер большой и просторный, Всё как на фото, перечислять нет смысла ;)
Еда - Шведский стол, я думаю каждый найдёт то что любит ;) конечно лобстерами, омарами, кальмарами и осьминогами Вас тут не будут кормить )) но вся еда очень вкусная ;)
Кто пьёт и выпивает - здесь присутствует практически весь алкоголь ;)
Wi-Fi немного хромает, но это не главное, наслаждайтесь природой и общайтесь с людьми =)
Здесь живут и работают очень замечательные и хорошие люди! И я рад что я с ними познакомился!
Assurément un superbe Resort sur une île non moins superbe. La politesse du staff est exemplaire. Nous avons passé une extraordinaire séjours. Seul petit point sombre, les tarifs du diving center qui sont un peu excessifs non pas aux regards du professionnalisme de l équipe du centre mais sur la qualite de certaines excursions notamment le all day snorkeling et le bapteme de plongée surtout comparé à d autres clubs de plongee.
Had the most lovey time at Kihaa. The villas were stunning. The beach was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Went snorkeling with mantas and sting rays. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and can’t wait to go back.
Les plus : Le calme des lieux , la villa , la gentillesse d’Ibrahim : notre garçon de chambre .
Les moins : les repas, rien d’extraordinaire. Le réseau internet qui fonctionne très mal.
