Gaafaru Holidays from NZ$9,528

Overall, it was a lovely resort with wonderful staff. We really enjoyed our stay. It's especially wonderful as it's adults only, so quiet & peaceful. Almost everything was fantastic. Great things about the resort: 1) The staff were super nice & helpful 2) The room was great & clean with an amazing view 3) The pools were nice (water could have been a bit warmer) 4) Beach was nice 5) Though way oversalted, the food was really good. If they were to use 1/10 the amount of salt, the food would be perfect. The only somewhat negative things were: 1) I did get a mild case of food poisoning, though the food was great aside from that & being very very very oversalted. 2) I didn't realize the jacuzzi tub on the deck of the overwater bungalow was not an actual hot tub but, rather, a tub you manually fill with water. 3) Though they have notices & signs all over about environmental steps they take, for some reason, every day there were machines running that really polluted the air. So, it was not enjoyable to try to relax at the beach & breathe in fumes. One day a worker was even driving some sort of machine that was putting a horrible thick smoke into the air. 4) One day, workers had a huge plastic pipe -one end in the ocean & the other on the beach in order to reroute sand & restructure the beach resulting in noise &, worst of all, destroying the beautiful clear water we had been enjoying-made the water super cloudy that day. 5) Requiring no shoes in a restaurant & game room awful.

Everything is superb from the speedboat at the airport, the hotel, the service and even the checkout.

Amazing Villa over the water. Fantastic resort. Extras v expensive.

We returned to Ihuru 40 years after our honeymoon. It was basic but great then .... Now it is fantastic and great!

Despite having some issues staff was very helpful. Ibrahim went out of the to make sure our stay was comfortable.
