There was supposed to be music and a dj in the small discotheque club at 9pm and when we went after diner at 9:30-10, he was always already gone.

The staff at seaside restaurant are incredible, hardworking, smiling and going above and beyond for the guests. The rooms are clean and spacious. It was calm… the spa service is amazing, the photographer took amazing pictures of us…

The ocean in front of the sandy part of the beach was rocky and uninviting, with uneven, jagged rocks making it difficult to enjoy the water comfortably

I opted for the half-board package, which included breakfast and dinner buffets but no lunch. The breakfast menu was almost 80% the same every day, which was disappointing. Dinner, on the other hand, offered a bit more variety each day. However, it was extremely disappointing that no soft drinks were included in the half-board package—only water was provided. Purchasing a soft drink separately was an option, but the prices were exorbitant! There is a permanent Indian food station available for all meals, including breakfast, so if you love indian food this place is ideal.

Not enough activities considering weather is uncertain. There should be more activities despite uncertainty in weather conditions. There should be more options for activities in the evening. A lot of focus is on activities during the day.

I feel the whole of Maldives (not just your resort) is very overpriced compared to the rest of the world. From Accommodation, Transfers, Food/Drink, Souvenirs etc.

The whole experience and quite island setting was fantastic, Greeting and Guide (Shimah) at Male airport was pleasant and very help full. Meal staff restaurant entry girl and our table waiter - Brilliant. The chefs we met - Great and their food. Meeting the new Manager (Christopher) - Most welcoming.

We liked everything. Just small aspects for improvement were: the ability to pay bar food at the bar instead of at the reception (it took a bit of time and sometimes reception was busy with other guests), more organisation for payments (we were charged twice for two items that were paid already), more seafood options at the buffet for non-meat eaters, yoga/ meditation class to do the actual activity instead of spending much time teaching the concepts/ theory.

Friendly staff, facilities, over-water villa with private pool, turquoise water view from the water villas with plenty of baby sharks and colorful fish, resort pool with sunset views, activities, great snorkel, private beach, buffet, sunset cruise, scuba diving center at the resort. The chocolates/ cookies delivered daily in our room, the towels in the form of animals every day in our room, and the happy anniversary message on the bed.

Sometimes the small details are making the difference between 4 and 5 starts. The furniture from the room and from the pool are old...and not looking so good... the sun bed from the beach on the villa suites are old and ugly...

Amaya is nice because of the people who works there and make all the best to make your stay amazing. For us, they succed in making the Journey unforgetable. The food is absolutly delicious. Lot of variaty. The water activities are very nice and is a must to try it. Many thanks to Akbar, the guy from Glow bar, he is the best!!!

Best honeymoon experience We had a wonderful honeymoon at Amaya Kuda Rah resort in the Maldives. From the stunning setting to the delicious food and lovely desserts, it was top class. All staff were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive. Particularly Ibbe and Swastika made sure that we were well looked after and had an unforgettable honeymoon experience.Ibbe was so friendly and helpful. Also our cleaner Bayezid did an amazing job and added a special touch to make our honeymoon special. Sydney and Chanaka made sure that we had an amazing experience throughout and were always on hand for advice and support.The experienced dive team took us for an adventure of our lives snorkeling with giant mantas and experiencing the rich marine life of the coral reef. We also loved the sunset cruise, floating breakfast and candlelit dinner which were included as a part of our package. Overall, we are so glad that we chose Amaya Kuda Rah for our honeymoon and we wished we could stay

The people are the key! Beside all the very comfortable, well equipped, bright, clean and few steps from ocean located luxury beach and watervillas, beside the great offers and service from recreation manager Nishan and his team, from SPA, from diving center, reservation, reception, restaurant and poolbar, it has been the outstanding kindness of the whole resort team plus the privacy you can find if needed at this cosy boutique resort Amaya Kuda Rah which did create a paradise vacation for us! One hint for others, our personal opinion: If you search rest, recreation, paradise incl. options for excursions (islands, sandbanks, diving, snorkeling) than Amaya Kuda Rah is the place to be. If you have teens with you who need daily action and big sports or party program directly behind your villa, than probably bigger resorts might fit better. This cosy luxury resort seems made to charge your soul and your batteries with positive energy (try the meditation or the yoga at sunrise at the beach and the sunset cruise) and with amazing memories to the nature and to the resort team taking care for you.

Our stay was exceptional! From the moment we arrived until departure, the staff exceeded expectations. Rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well-maintained. The resort restaurants offered delicious meals with a diverse menu . (We had all - inclusive package) highly recommend this resort!!! ( we stayed for 10days )

This place is amazing. We spent a week there and felt like royalty. we had a great relaxing time. The villa was beautiful, enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi after our fun filled days. The food was delicious. The chefs (Chef Nihal and Kumarisi) were amazing especially to my daughter who has food allergies. The minute she comes to the restaurant, they come asking her for what food she was in the mood for and they would make her meals. The servers were so nice, so sweet, after couple days, Ashfaq knew how I like my coffee. Everyone is so polite no exception from the managers to the staff, this place wouldn’t be the way it is without them. I enjoyed water aerobics with Nishan, wish it was an hour long :) every day, there was a different activity, we didn’t get bored at all. We also partook in several water sport activities, including jet skiing, sunset dolphin watching, and the sunset boat ride. The water sports employees were very kind as well. I would highly recommend.

From the moment I arrived, the resort exceeded my expectations. The staff provided impeccable service, and I want to highlight the outstanding work of Bayzid, who went above and beyond to ensure our hotel room was a comfortable haven. The level of cleanliness throughout the resort was remarkable, and the pristine condition of the pool added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. In every aspect, our experience was flawless, making it a truly perfect getaway.

everything was way expensive, communication was the main problem, they offered me floating breakfast during booking but I didn’t received it , so many things I have missed due to miss communication. i have asked them a wine glasses which I never received. i have landed male airport at 11:30am still its take 4 hours to reach resort on my second day while transferring to water villa, they told me to check out from 12pm however my water villa wasn’t ready until 4pm , wasted my four hours outside seating in hot temperatures couldn’t do everything because our luggage already picked by hotel staff for transferring. totally wasted my money for 2nd day and very horrible experience while departing the resort , they didn’t check weather conditions and send everyone for sea transfer, almost risks our life. and there were emergency and no body was there to communicate with people or to calm people..

food was good, cleaning staff and restaurant staff were very nice and friendly. dive centre was amazing, staff as well specially jerry

Everything was perfect, except large maintenance work taking place on the perimeter of the island. We understand they were necessary since the breakwater were partially damaged, however it would have been nice to know it in advance

- Construction works happened almost every day of our 8 night's stay, as they were moving boulders at the edge of the lagoon to protect the island from waves. They had 3 bulldozers which were working from morning to late at night, but eventually it felt like in the last day there they finally finished working. Because of this, the whole inner part of the lagoon had almost no life in it, close to no living coral and fish was quite scarce. I could see fish though, just not as I was used to in other parts. Maybe when they stop with the construction works things will start getting better

We enjoyed our stay at Amaya, there were lots of great things about the resort, some of which are: - excellent staff, from the dining area, bar, spa and cleaning staff. Everyone was great at helping us out, hospitality was out of this world - The food was also absolutely great, there was hardly any day in which the food would be identical to any of the ones in the last 5-6 days. Lots of diversity each day. The desserts were especially good! - the beach suite with private pool was everything we could want; AC was working very well, the pool was cleaned daily. Three showers, two bathrooms, one small jacuzzi. Everything in the little house we had was great. - Infinity pool next to the bar, which meant we had also infinite drinks & cocktails coming one after another - Protected "lagoon", no high waves or currents; I've managed to see a stingray while snorkeling, there were also a big number of fish of various species; not as many as I've seen in other places though - Play area, gym, spa - we used those a few times over the stay; plus we also had a 30 min head massage complimentary for >7 nights stay - fishing trip, sunset ocean trip, island hopping - Small island but everything was quite spacious and good looking - Transfer by hydroplane was great, Amaya staff took care of everything for us. The plane left us somewhere at a stop in the ocean where an Amaya boat took us in. Overall we would enjoy being there again!
