I am incredibly happy to have seen this and booked this package through Travelzoo. The value of the package and overall resort was outstanding. If we see other packages like this being offered we will definitely visit the resort again. The comfort of the rooms, dining options, activities, the famous reefs at the resort, and customer service are superior.
Other Comments
The resort was not only lovely but located near one of the most well known reefs in the Maldives. The rooms were comfortable, the amount of activities offered are great for couples, families and groups of friends. However the staff and hospitality of the Residence Maldives is what made our experience superior by far. Many thanks to Lavin and Ramesh for providing outstanding hospitality support during our visit. We will visit again and bring our families and more friends next time around.

It is a wonderful place. It took me 4 planes and a boat to get there. I was so tired it took me two days to regroup. After that I found out that I couldn't drink the water so I had to buy bottle water. Once I got passed that it was a wonderful trip.

As first time travellers to the Maldives we were appreciative of the service that started once we landed at Male airport, getting us checked in to the domestic flight and settled in to the lounge for lunch as we waited. Staff made the flights and boat ride comfortable sharing clear instructions along the way and welcome drinks and handmade necklaces. We arrived to a suite on the water with amazing views and a great room that had a comfortable bed, robes,slippers and basically everything we needed. Even bikes to cycle around! Food at breakfast, dinner buffet and restaurants were delicious as well. The diversity of cuisine and customer service was top notch. It is a place we would highly recommend.
