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.

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.

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.

Location 5/5 Amazing views Facilities 5/5 They had most of the water sports and two pools ( one of them is an infinity pool) Our room 0/5 Even tho the room was cold, the bed was really uncomfortable and hot we couldnt sleep. When the mosquito nets were closed we couldn’t feel the cold but if we removed the net we would be exposed to the mosquitoes. When we spoke to the reception he just laughed in our face and said remove the net and no one had this problem before. Another note, the bathroom was outside so your exposed to bugs (crabs, lizards, beetles and ants) it’s not an issue for us but might be for other people who would need an indoor bathroom. Taps and shower head had rust and dirt on the floor. Food 2/5 For 5 nights we had the same food with slight variations and it feels like it was a high school cafeteria Staff 5/5 All smile, greet and happy to help

Screaming children everywhere and there was no adult only area on the island. Lots of mosquitoes around the sun beds. Food was good but no peace to eat it with children allowed to run around. Not the peaceful romantic holiday that we planned. We have been to 4 other islands in the Maldives which were great compared with this one. Snorkelling was ok plenty fish but coral all dead.Wish we had picked another island.

The Kihaad is beautiful, don't get me wrong. This is the third place we've visited in the Maldives, and the first time we pay the extra money to fly to a distant island far away from the capital Male. Considering that it was almost $1000 extra for the short domestic flight, and an extra 3 hours both ways (checking-in, waiting, boarding), it just wasn't worth it. The coral reefs around Kihaad are almost ALL DEAD, and millions of small pieces of dead coral litter the beach around the entire island. Beach access is difficult because you can't avoid stepping on bits of sharp corals. You practically have to wear shoes to protect your feet. The snorkeling trip away from the island is a waste of time. More dead corals and not that many fish. It's so sad considering this area is supposed to be a UNESCO marine sanctuary. There are plenty of better places to go if you're interested in diving or snorkeling. On the plus side, the island is very quiet and laid back. The service is excellent, the villas are large and well-maintained, and the restaurants are slightly above average. We've been to several destinations in the Indian Ocean and I would rate Kihaad as average. There didn't seem to be any air-conditioning anywhere except in the rooms. The "semi-formal" dining restaurant called SPICES appeared to have a/c, but they didn't turn it on and they kept the doors open. For us, it just isn't comfortable to sit down to an expensive dinner when the room temperature is 28C.

My mom and I had great time in Maldives while staying at Kihaad. All staff are great and willing to help and service.

The Kihaad is beautiful, don't get me wrong. This is the third place we've visited in the Maldives, and the first time we pay the extra money to fly to a distant island far away from the capital Male. Considering that it was almost $1000 extra for the short domestic flight, and an extra 3 hours both ways (checking-in, waiting, boarding), it just wasn't worth it. The coral reefs around Kihaad are almost ALL DEAD, and millions of small pieces of dead coral litter the beach around the entire island. Beach access is difficult because you can't avoid stepping on bits of sharp corals. You practically have to wear shoes to protect your feet. The snorkeling trip away from the island is a waste of time. More dead corals and not that many fish. It's so sad considering this area is supposed to be a UNESCO marine sanctuary. There are plenty of better places to go if you're interested in diving or snorkeling. On the plus side, the island is very quiet and laid back. The service is excellent, the villas are large and well-maintained, and the restaurants are slightly above average. We've been to several destinations in the Indian Ocean and I would rate Kihaad as average. There didn't seem to be any air-conditioning anywhere except in the rooms. The "semi-formal" dining restaurant called SPICES appeared to have a/c, but they didn't turn it on and they kept the doors open. For us, it just isn't comfortable to sit down to an expensive dinner when the room temperature is 28C.

Kihaad resort is fantastic with lots of vegetation and with an astounding lagoon around the island. The reef is not that colourful, but it is alive, with lots of species of fish.
