Kihaa Maldives

Kihaa Maldives ruined my honeymoon. This was our 5th visit to Maldives and this resort changed my perspective about Maldives. This place has a list of cons which i would not be able to list down here, but here are a few: 1. The buffet spread is beyond horrible. You will get the same set of items like - oats, omlette, salad without any sauces for breakfast. The same tuna and chicken grill for lunch and dinner. Even our honeymoon special dinner hosted by the sea had the same tuna grill and chicken grill just that it was presented marginally better. To be precise each lunch / dinner has the same structure without any difference in taste - sauted veggies, roasted potatoes, some Indian curry which is tasteless, grilled tuna with a basic butter sauce, grilled chicken, a beef / lamb curry which is again very ordinary, steamed rice and some tasteless pasta / noodles. The salad section has the leftover lettuce as the only salad item. No selection of cheese / sauces. The dessert section has 4 items which is repeated almost daily. 2. The resort is literally in ruins, you can see the water villa literally getting submerged in the sea. There are no lights in the passage, water flow in the washroom is low, they dont give you laundry bag / slippers. 3. The waterlife is also average with zero efforts on restoring the corals. Even the snorkeling experience was upsetting. 4. The bar literally has no stock at all. They even tell you to upgrade to All Inclusive at the time of chevkin by paying 120$ per night per person only to get upset later. The only good thing about the resort is the staff. They gave us a room upgrade out of sympathy. They went out of the way to ensure the stay is manageable despite all the mentioned cons. The 1 star i am providing is only because of the staff who are struggling to get out of the resort. Kihaa is one of the three resorts blacklisted in Maldives. The 5 night stay here felt like a jail experience where we could not even leave the place since this is super far from Male and boat / sea plane is super expensive. They also make sure you pay the sea plane fee right at the time of check in so that the guests cannot run away. The staff looks at you empathically seeing that you have lost your money for this disappointing vacation. Please dont believe their youtube and instagram videos, everything is misleading.

Im so sorry that finally we reached our dream destination, but we choose the wrong hotel to stay. It is maximum a 3* hotel with very out-dated rooms and facilities, the food was just simply horrible and its a shame that they provide this to high quality guests. On the whole island there were no wine and beer during our 1 week stay, fruit was just uneatable, boring low quality breakfast, untasty dinners, really just simply unaffordable for european standards. 1 week was not enough to prepare the safety box in our roon. Drainage and bad smell in bathroom, mudy aircon, very low-maintained areas. Once it could be a glamurous hotel, but theese days just struggling with demotivated, missinformed staff. However waiters was very friendly, thats to only point I can give connected to the hotel. Last but not least Maldives itself, the white sand and blue water and spakling under-sea life is breathtaking, therefore it is even a bigger dissapoint to stay in a hotel wich is not harmonised with the surrounding.

島上蚊子很多，床上用品有蟎蟲，入住期間實在是太痛苦了。另外酒店環境不佳，水屋和部分別墅很多地方都荒廢了。這次訂這酒店，主要是因為18年去過當時體驗很好。但這次人住，後悔莫及，另外酒店早晚自助餐實在是差到極點。我去過馬代十幾個度假島，這個餐食太嚇人，每天8個主食，就是牛肉，魚，雞塊，蔬菜、米飯、麪、印度豆子和薯塊，然後一些西點（三四個品種），其他就沒了。反正我感覺比國內三星級還差，問題你不吃這，就沒別的可以自己點着吃（酒店裡以前好幾個酒吧餐廳spa都關門了），衹留着一個自助餐廳和泳池酒吧。和攜程5星評級完全不符，建議取消5星省得誤導客户
