Canareef Resort Maldives

酒店景色宜人，是極佳看日出日落的好地方，令人身心放鬆。酒店的自助早餐款式豐富多樣，餐廳晚餐水準亦非常高，即使獨自來潛水的我亦可好好享受。職員有禮親切，讓我大推给朋友。

Thoroughly enjoyable holiday, all the staff were friendly. Only downside was food was lukewarm at the best and buggies sometimes sparse to get you about, waiting 20 -30 minutes sometimes. Special thanks must go to Hemal the lifeguard, Lucky the chef at the beach bar ( amazing food ) all the staff at Kuda beach bar and at Dhoni bar. Must single out Pramila for her smile and friendliness. Samsil our cleaner for wanting to do things even when told that all was ok. Staff at reception couldn’t do enough and were always on hand to help. Another downside was the travelling and waiting times at the airports which made it long days both going and coming home.

We really had a fantastic time at Canareef over Christmas and New Year. We were unfortunate that our flight was delayed for 5 hours so we didn't arrive till really early in the morning, but they welcomed us with open arms and made sure the check in process was really quick and smooth. It was a short buggy drive to our beach front villa with a jacuzzi, which we used every day! The room was really big and spacious with a lovely balcony, big bathroom, and closet area. We walked to the restaurant and bar a lot, but you can just call for a buggy. I was very impressed with all the events the hotel put on for christmas and New Year. The dancing and singing, DJ, games, cocktail party, christmas dinner NYE dinner, and much more were all inclusive and really did make our trip special. Many times I forgot our room number, the staff never once did! They were spectacular, such a big selling point of the resort. We had 2 massages they were fabulous. The beach bar was beautiful, the only down side, never enough staff working! And a lot of people would get a buggy up there early in the morning to put towels down and get the buggy back for breakfast which is so annoying, I only know this as the resort is great for a 5k run so saw people do this everyday! We managed to help the turtles back to sea and go and see the dolphins! All in all we really really enjoyed our stay, the accommodation and package was excellent, I hope to return! Only a few negatives, some days no towels by the pool, or no sun louges available, I don't think each villa needs 4 loungers, some of these should be allocated to the beach, for the price I pay I want to be able to have a louger on the pool or beach. Would have been great if all restaurants were open. Fantastic stay and the staff hoenstly were amazing from the cleaning team to the bar and waiting staff to the manager, everyone wanted to make sure we were having the best time.

Just spent a week here for our honeymoon. Beautiful Island and the staff are great, so friendly and helpful, the baranager who I think she is Russian however I felt could be more customer friendly as found her a little abrupt when ordering a drink, also observed her providing feedback to her team in front of customers, best to do this away in private or in a daily download before opening or when closed. Front of house managers is very customer friendly and the onsite doctor also really good. Rooms are lovely, a little refresh needed but overall well positioned and loads onsite buggies to take you where you need to go. Was a mix up on arrival with out room type allocation which I believe was due to our agent and not onsite but we ended missing dinner after 24 hours travelling. All inclusive is quite limiting but you can purchase food from Meera or beach bar and it's lovely. Snacks are not the best,maybe could offer complimentary nuts with drinks. Beach meal was fantastic and dolphin excursion was fabulous. All in all if the rooms and bars had a refresh of paint and all inclusive menu offered more salad selection , fries just more variety this would achieve a 5 star rating as the staff just make your experience one of the best. Thank you all who looked after us and for our stay with you. Memories made x

We just got back from Canareef, and wow—what a trip! It might not officially be a five-star resort, but honestly, it felt like we were living the five-star dream. This was one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had. From the moment we landed at Velana Airport, everything was so smooth. We felt safe, welcome, and completely taken care of. The Maldives is obviously stunning! The island itself is 4.5 km long, but getting around was so easy thanks to the buggies and bicycles. Whether we were heading to the pool, the beach, or the restaurant, everything felt accessible and convenient. On top of that, the all-inclusive offer was fantastic—we didn’t miss a thing! The food, drinks, and service were all spot-on. And let’s not forget the stunning nature and wildlife. From vibrant sunsets to lush greenery and wildlife sightings, every corner of the island felt like a postcard. We could tell that the resort is doing a great job preserving the natural beauty of the island, and we really appreciated that effort. But what really made this trip unforgettable was the Canareef staff. They’re absolutely amazing—always smiling, always helpful, and just making sure everything was perfect. A few people really stood out for us: Indri, oh my gosh, she made us feel like royalty. Her kindness, beautiful smile, and warmth made such a difference. Zyad, our waiter, who took such good care of us and always there with advices. Tushara, the pool master, who made pool time a blast and was always ready to help. Our housekeeper from Nepal (we stayed in bungalow 219)—we didn’t catch his name, but he was so sweet and kept our place spotless. The Anj Music musicians—what a vibe! Keep up the amazing work, guys! The chefs who spoiled us with delicious food (seriously, so good!), and even the buggy drivers and diving center staff, We can’t thank everyone enough for making this trip so special. Canareef, you’ve got a winning team, and we really hope you treasure them because they’re the heart and soul of your resort. We’ll definitely be telling everyone back home about this place. If you’re looking for a little slice of paradise, Canareef is it!

Our 1st visit to Maldives and fantastic. We had a ovely villa on sunset side no 119. Very spacious, lots of hanging and drawer space with fridge, kettle in a separate room. Loved the outside bathroom. Rooms cleaned twice a day with fresh towels. We borrowed cycles, so easy to get around everywhere flat. We were near Khili restaurant and Dhoni bar and equal distance to Meeru bar in other direction. Approx 1 mile to Bar Kuda which is best snorkelling area. Get there early for a sunbed on decking. All three bars are included in AI package. We did the snorkelling trip to a reef approx 25 mins away by boat. Probably the best snorkelling we've ever done and we've done a lot. When you arrive at Male airport you are met by Canareef staff and taken to Moonima lounge to wait for flight to Gan. Includes soft drinks and food. Flight to Gan just over an hour then speedboat to the island. We arrived at 8.45 am and on a flight to Gan by 11.30. Get a flight Male as early as you can. When you arrive on the island a lovely welcome. The service in the bars and restaurant are excellent. There's also a yoga class 3 times a week. Book a place early. Dhoni bar has a 50 metre swimming pool and Meeru a smaller one next to beach. Only two negatives. Sometimes the food was lukewarm in tureens. Ok on cooking stations. Would like a view of sea from villa. Most villas had thick foliage in front with a cut away walkway to beach. Would have liked to see it cut back for views. Otherwise everything perfect. . Would 100% recommend.
