What Guests Say About Their Stay

The resort strives to preserve the island environment - avoiding plastic, reducing waste, making its own water and supplies. An incredible local community works to make that possible. The vegetation is just magnificent. You can walk around and truly feel the wild nature above.
The reef is the main reason we chose Nika and it exceeded our expectations. Nurse sharks, Black fins, turtles and all kinds of tropical fish populate the corals, you can snorkel around the island the be able to see them (also depending on the season).
The daily food choice is nice and healthy: lots of fresh fish, Asian ingredients, pasta and a strong Italian footprint.
Few bullet points:
*The original villas are incredible, but they take much of the landscape and the public beach surface is limited
*Some activities seem too expensive. If you really want guests to understand the ocean and its fragility, prices should be more competitive
*Entertainment is very limited. Maybe you want to consider updating the evening sessions. The last thing guests wants to see at bar is a ppt - we read presentations all the time in our office! Maybe you could set these at different times of the day, based on guest interest. Evenings should be more Maldivian, more music, more fun
*Sometimes prices show older tax. Lotus Spa also not transparent, with fees changing from a promo to the final price
*Beach staff not responsive at times. We waited 3 days to try a kayak; every morning we had to search sunbed cushions ourselves.

Overall we were quite satisfied with Nika Resort we rated it 4 out of 5. Most staff were friendly and the food was of high standard.
PROS - Value for money, smaller more intimate resort with not too many guests, very accommodating as I have various dietary restrictions. Rooms in good condition. Also stunning views and amazing reefs.
CONS - expensive food and tours.
We had one tour booked to rashdoo reef and it was extremely choppy. Instead of cancelling/rescheduling the tour they still went ahead. On the tour we were trying to swim with strong currents and we had 3 poor swimmers (out of 5) in the tour which was hard. Because it was so windy and choppy the water was very murky and there were not that many fish. The most annoying thing was the staff made it out to be amazing without admitting the less than ideal conditions.
Just another note the resort will charge you whenever they can (which is understandable) so just ask the staff if you are unsure. Examples are water with meals, tea and coffee from the bar. On our departure we also had to pay for our last buffet meal so if in doubt just ask.
The staff members that are assets are the wait staff, Victor and the chefs they were extremely accommodating. However some of the tour staff and reception area staff were sometimes abrupt.
Highly recommend this resort to anyone as we had an amazing experience. The villas are beautiful and the island is very scenic. We would go back if we had the opportunity.

Incredible, idyllic resort. The reef surrounding the island is stunning and has an abundance of wildlife - black tip reef sharks, turtles, eagle rays, sting rays and thousands of fish are just some of the things we saw. The private beach was amazing and for many of the days of our stay we had two resident black tip reef sharks swimming in our bay! Amazing! The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is delightful and plentiful and the trips to other reefs are expensive but totally worth it! The accommodation is beautifully built and decorated too. We will be back one day for sure!

Pro- the beach and island are beautiful, fresh fruit and seafood available, staff are friendly and helpful.
Con- too many mosquitoes and bugs outdoors, food were over cooked and taste was average, limited hot water, jacuzzi could not be used due to the old boiler system, any additional activities were expensive but not professional, meals included in half/ full board were not good so needed to pay extra to order from menu.

The island and resort was beautiful, we have 3 young children and the family beach Villa was the perfect set up. It's often difficult to travel with children, but we couldn't have asked for a better place. We could be swimming at our private beach while the baby napped right inside as the baby monitor reached. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Also, there was great snorkeling along the house reef. The meals are scheduled as follows: 9am breakfast, 2pm lunch, 9pm dinner. I wish I had known ahead of time as our kids are usually going to bed about 730, so we had some schedule adjusting to do. Also, the island time is 2 hours ahead of the official Maldivian time as an FYI. there are general bugs and ants around, which is to be expected on a tropical island, so don't be surprised when you see them, and they will come inside if you leave food out!

Was an amazing stay with picturesque views, only one word for them is WOW, Impeccable service, personal attention to every guest & attention to detailing sets them apart from any other hotel, whether it was chef customizing the indian dishes for us or whether it is free diving trainer who makes it easy for non-swimmers to go under water or whether hotel manager and reception staff receive & see off personally. Bruna manages the hotel as personal visitors visits their home not in a hotel. Keep up the good work guys!!

First of all, I want to say that all the staff that works there are amazingly kind and helpful. I'm giving a bad rating only for one person working there who doesn't fit for a 5 star resort. I'm talking about an old woman called Lucy, who is in charge of the checkins and excursions. She shouted after asking about the snorkelling trip that is included in the all inclusive package, it seems she was only interested in selling paid tours. After all, we didn't go to any excursion because we didn't felt welcome. She made us feel uncomfortable several times during our stay and finally we just opted to avoid her. You can find her in the bar next to the reception drinking sparkling wine, but if you want to have a peaceful holiday, I strongly recommend you also to avoid her. I am sad to see someone so unfriendly in a position that many people would dream of working on. Especially sad after seeing how kind and friendly the Maldivian people are. I am 100% sure that a Maldivian would do their job much better ensuring the stunning 5 star service of Maldives.
Besides that, the resort is truly beautiful and we had a great time. I would still recommend this hotel to everybody. It's an old resort but the rooms are very well maintained, spacious and comfortable. We split our stay between water villa and beach villa, and we were very happy with that because both of them has its own charm. Overall, great integration of the luxury experience and nature.

It was amazing! The hospitality is the best even comparing with 5-star hotels in developed countries. Lucy was the Guest manager and she was extremely welcoming. She is approachable and available virtually anytime (as if she works 24 hr a day). We went for full board meals - I have to say their food were way my expectations (Buffet style breakfast, Lunch & Dinner with 3 course meal). If I were to go again, I would opt for half board as the portion are all quite large. Note that drinks are not included but they're all reasonable price (i.e: US$3 for bottle water, US$4-5 for a beer - add 22% tax for everything that you purchased in Maldives). Our waiter, Hassan, was very attentive too.
The island itself is extremely private - hardly see any other guests outside of meal times. We stayed in Family villa with private beach - just swim 1-2 mins away and bingo beautiful corals with colourful fish.
Been to Thailand, phillipines, hawaii - honestly nothing can be compared to this. I'll definitely come back again to this resort. Just heard from colleague that comparable place would be Tahiti but it's more convenient reach Maldives.

Nika was the third and final island stop in the Maldives. It was incredible, we were greeted with incredible service that lasted the whole trip. The rooms were lovely and the food was great. They even set up a private beach, candid light din din for us.
