Our family were well taken care by Waldorf. It's truly unforgettable experience. Breakfast is amazing, many options cater your any favor on the day. Dinner has 11 restaurants to choose from. Housekeeping was done in a very proper time. Staff are friendly with smile as always. Tennis court, Padel tennis court are well maintained, water, sunblock, insect repellent are well prepared too. We love everything here! Thanks for the hospitality.

I have stayed at W, Joli and Waldorf before. It may be the location problem. There is land reclamation near the island. There are no fish underwater. The island is more than three kilometers long and is large. It is the hotel with the most restaurant options, but it is also the island with the most people.

Booked for a friend, and got good feedback from him. The environment is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and the place is clean! It is full of charming exotic style. The decoration still uses the Maldivian characteristic thatched roof, and the facilities are all luxury brands. The water villa will also be equipped with glass floors, with a wonderful view of the lagoon below.

During our stay at the hotel, we went to the kids club. On the first day, my two-year-old was frightened by a local Maldivian staff member while being taken care of. On the second day, he refused to go there anymore. My two sisters told me that they were not allowed to play public games, I have talked to the manager and they said that they wanted the children to come according to the schedule, but the schedule that day was to go to the garden, but they didn't take the children to the garden for a long time, and the children stayed from 10 am to 2 pm. Is it so difficult to manage something that children really want to do? One Indian and one Russian. I am very dissatisfied with them, they have no patience and don't know how to guide children. For example, when you see a two-year-old trying to enter a room that they are not allowed to enter, what do you do? Do they just shout: "You can't go in!" Or do they squat down and say to the child: "How about we go there to play with cars and tell you some stories?" Our children are smart and we never treat them in a disrespectful way. I think the hotel is not serious enough in hiring the staff for the kids club. This made me very dissatisfied during my stay. Because of these staff, I will not choose Waldorf Astoria and will not recommend it to my family and friends. We didn’t choose that place to experience such unpleasant things! During our stay at the hotel, we went to the kids club. On the first day when my little child only 2yrs in the baby-sitting, he was frightened by a local Maldivian employee. The next day, he refused to go there again. My two elder sisters told me they were not allowed to play the public games and I already talk to the manager they say they want kids to follow the schedule but in that day the schedule is play in the garden they didn’t bring them to the garden for a long time, the kids stay there from 10am to 2pm, there is no reason managing some works that the children really want right?.One Indian and other Russian. I’m unsatisfied about themselves,they had no patience and educate to leading children. For example, when you see a two-year-old child trying to enter a room which they are not allowed, what will you do? ?" Our children are very clever,we never treat them in a disrespectful way. I think the hotel did not hire the kids club staff seriously. This made me very dissatisfied during the stay. I won’t choose Waldorf Astoria because of these employees, And I won't recommend it to my family and friends either. We choose there, not to experience such unpleasant things!

advantage: *The speedboat departs from Male in 45 minutes. China Eastern Airlines flies directly to the island in the evening and can quickly reach the island that same day. *Large room area, new facilities, starting from 237 square meters, wide roof *There are many restaurants and the taste is average. We recommend The Ledge (signature burger, Portuguese grilled chicken, chocolate smoked ice cream cake) Yasmeen

The marine ecology of the artificial island is not very good, there are fewer fish, and the water is not so thorough. Compared with Conrad Conrad Island under the same group, the overall service is not as good as Conrad Island. It is much worse than Dasiji. It didn't meet the so-called six-star standard of Waldorf Astoria. The advantage is that this hotel is very big, and you can play more with children

Stayed for 3 days and the wifi was broken every day. There was no wifi on the island. It was too uncomfortable. I couldn’t do anything. The menu on the ipad was not updated. Wifi I don’t know if tens of thousands of dollars a night can’t guarantee wifi

華爾道夫品牌在線,不管是島上環境,酒店設施以及環境來説,都可算頂級。嘗試了島上的幾家餐廳,就那就日料店印象最深刻,其餘的阿拉伯餐廳,烤肉餐廳中規中矩吧,還是早餐更加豐富一些。最後要説的是服務,這次五天四晚的入住竟然一共給我們分配了三個管家。第一個管家當天接待完我們就突然説請假了。第二個管家就第二天服務我們,反應還相對比較慢。。。第三個管家在第三天開始接手,這個服務響應還算比較快。總之在這個管家上面讓我對這次旅行體驗打了個小小的折扣。其他方面,比如天氣(4天裏就一天是整天下雨,其餘都放晴,在這個7月份來説算運氣不錯了),島上娛樂項目等都是不錯的,就是價格都不菲,這個看每個人的承受能力。十年後的二次馬代之旅,也算是不虛此行。

When you think of the perfect vacation a lot places can come to mind, there are places that have history, art, beaches, music and nightlife. While those are all amazing in their own regards what separates the best hotels in the world is two things: where they are located and what they offer. The Waldorf Astoria in Maldives is as picturesque as it gets with even the base room being what feels an over water villa. The grounds are immaculately maintained here and the food offerings as exquisite. While your bank account will certainly feel it, but from a culinary perspective you will mesmerized. The ledge, Lilong and glow were all of Michelin. The breakfast was extensive, rooms had pretty much everything you need for a month long jaunt. But what really differentiated our stay and put this resort in a class of its own was the service. I’ve traveled to India, Japan, all over Europe parts of Africa and South America, and our concierge really stood out to us. Her name was Valencia and I highly request you ask for her. She knows the property like the back of her, has great experience and dining sections and was extremely responsive. I’ve dealt with a lot of concierge/front desk type folks and her passion, attentiveness to detail and desire to be the best really shined and was a highlight of our experience. Did I say the water is beautiful and snorkeling is a must? Luckily the currents aren’t bad so it’s conducive for all skill levels.
