JA Manafaru

The overall feeling is unsatisfactory. At this price, it is really not worth it. Regardless of the cleanliness or frequency of room cleaning, it is not satisfactory. The butler has too many customers to serve and cannot take care of all the guests. Diving conditions were average. The wind and waves were too strong and there were almost no water sports. Unfortunately, this was an unsatisfying trip.

When I arrive Male, there is already a representative of JA Manafaru to wait for us at the entrance of the arrival hall with smiling face. He is so helpful to take our luggage and bring us to the lounge to wait for our domestic flight. The lounge is exclusive to guests of JA Manafaru but the place is a but small and the wifi connection is a bit poor. There is also some food and beverage provided in the lounge which is a good start for our trip! After taking an nearly one-hour flight plus 40 minutes speedboat, we arrive the resort finally. We are warmly greeted with a team of the staff of the resort along with a cool drink and towel. Wow! What a great welcome! Then, our villa host, ZIRAAR, with his smiling face, take us to our sunset water villa, 508, by a bugis and introduce every parts of out villla detaily and patiently! We really feel happy! During our 5-days stay, ZIRAAR is really so helpful to arrange our activities, advising all suitable activities for us and respond to our request so quickly! Highly appreciated and thank you for his effort to make our honeymoon trip more perfect! For the restaurants here, i like White Orchid the most! There, we have excellent seafood with great sea view in front of us. The Chief Chef is also so kind and nice to talk with us everyday! We do have great experience here! The spa is also quite good, despite the cost is so high. Finally, the snorkling experince is fair only as we do not saw much variety of fish and corals.

酒店的环境很好，有无边泳池，沙滩排球场地，私密性很好，有自己的活动空间，房间设施很齐全，考虑很周到。酒店的员工工作态度很热情有礼貌，很亲切，有宾至如归的感觉。餐厅的食物也很好，有很多选择，适合各国宾客的口味。

Great Hotel and Clear Beaches.

The most wonderful trip! Amazing hotel and staff. Would highly recommend. Our only negative of the trip at all was an issue with the hotels:com booking and their customer service. Hotels.con refused to fix it so JA did. They are the absolute best!

A masterclass in 5-star hospitality from start to finish.

Peaceful laid back resort. Amazing fine dining experience with receptive service. Food spread is posh, especially at theme nights. Presentation is very visually appealing. However, the a-la-carte menu is limited and the taste is not up to the level of the presentation. Not a lot of night life or night time activities. That is the main pain point. Everything shuts down by 6pm. There is not even an indoor/night swimming pool open after this time. This resort mostly targets people in their mid-late thirties or higher. Not for younger couples as much. Upon arrival, they insist you download the JA Manafaru app but this app misses critical features such as navigation. A suggested itinerary either by host or in the app would have been super useful but was missing. The water villa was very beautiful and the views were stunning. Mini bar was well stocked and included in the all-inclusive package. The ocean access ladder in water villas need to be better maintained. They were rusty and caused cuts and bruises when we tried getting in and out of the water. It rained for 2-4 hrs everyday during daytime during our stay. That’s when we realized that the resort has very little to do except dine when the weather is unfavorable. Water activities are limited.

I had an amazing experience at JA Manafaru. The people here take care of you from the moment you arrive at the airport, to the moment you get on the plane to leave. The staff felt more like family and friends than staff, taking care of every want and need. The food was amazing and the scenery was beautiful. This is an experience I would never forget! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I cannot wait to come back to this place. Thank you Mangal, Ibbe and Vipan for the wonderful experience.

Beautiful

Es war ein einmaliges Erlebnisse Die suite war traumhaft. Die fische im meer eine pracht Die Angestellten erfüllten jeden wunsch Die insel und die vegetion unbeschreiblich

Overall a very good experience with very nice and friendly staff.

Excellent and beautiful property. The staff, to include the General Manager, are very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The food and drinks are very good. I recommend getting the all inclusive with food or it can get expensive. The snorkeling on the island is amazing. The Ja Manafaru is a true paradise.

Gorgeous location. Amazing staff.

We had the pleasure of staying for a duration of six nights and would have loved to have had the chance to extend our stay further. I had the pleasure of working with my personal attendant, Firdavs, who consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism as well as a strong commitment to meeting my needs. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my requests were promptly addressed and taken care of. Victoria and Mark ensured a personalized experience for each guest. The water villas are truly impressive. The island provides a Maldivian ambiance, offering numerous home-like comforts. I will definitely return Dr. Brown

Crystal clear ocean. Incredibly accommodating staff. A relaxation paradise!

Absolute paradise - complete perfection from beginning to end, hugely recommended.

The staff was Top notch. Nishan took care of our every need. Chef Moosa was the unexpected highlight of our stay. We had a wonderful culinary experience with him that we will never forget. The food was the best ive eve had. We went during monsoon season expecting alot of rain. The rain was not a hindering factor, just a few showers on and off and one day where ut rained all day. I highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to escape life for a moment. As an extremely busy individual, this resort allowed me to reset and relax, which was exactly what i needed.

What is not to like. Even in the monsoon season it was paradise. The staff was so attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious and the accommodations were superb. Thanks to Mangal, Umar, Nizam, Rosa, Paveen, Isse, Shaad and of course Coco for taking care of our every need.

This is a stunning property and is set up brilliantly for a relaxing stay, with gorgeous settings and lovely staff. Our host Rafu was exceptional - both polite, helpful and great with our toddler. The one area to improve is to be more proactive with arranging guest transfers. The island is located at the edge of the Maldives so transfers are less frequent and can be unsociable hours; we would have appreciated better upfront planning or at least notification of potential timing challenges. All in all, do pick this hotel as it is fabulous but ensure you know your plans in detail for transfers to avoid a bumpy set of discussions

This property was AMAZING!! The staff was as friendly as can be. I stayed in one of the water bungalows, which was a top-notch accommodation. All the non-motorized water sports were included, the food was terrific, and the water and beaches were gorgeous. My only issue was they did not have the breakfast buffet, but you are able to order whatever you want for breakfast, and it's all included. Also, it is quite far from the Male airport. It takes an additional 3-4 hours to get from there to the island through a domestic flight (not the nicest transportation) and an hour long boat ride. However, it was all worth it!
