Alila Kothaifaru Maldives

The hotel has very good food options and all are very well made. The staffs are very attentive and friendly, always coming to chat with us and giving advice on activities and history of Maldives. I’m The hotel offers good variety of water sports so that we won’t get bored. The sand is fine on the beach and the water quality is very suitable for snorkelling. We can easily find lots of fish by swimming a hundred meters from the shore. We tried SPAs, table tennis, snooker, gym facilities. We joined scuba diving, fishing and they were all very well organised. The only shortfall is the pest problem. Lots of mosquitoes caused serious problems at the beginning. The staff should have warned guests seriously about this so that we can get prepared (closing doors and apply repellant) otherwise you will get really bad bites by various bugs. We stayed at beach villa and every night it’s like a battle of all kinds of bugs - gigantic cockroaches, snails, worms, caterpillars, flies, lizards, spiders, red ants and sand bugs. I even found one flying ant in bed one night. This really ******* me during the entire trip.

Wonderful stay at Alila Maldives property! The service was outstanding, and the property is truly stunningly beautiful. It never felt crowded, and I loved the personal touch that each staff member provided. The staff remembered your name and even what drinks you like. One of the best resort stays I have ever had. We stayed for 6 nights and were not ready to leave. We added the all-inclusive packages. I'm not sure if it saved money at the end of the day, but it was nice not having to think about your bill or if you should get another drink or not! My only minor suggestions to make it EVEN better would be: have a buggy that circles the island providing rides. (Sometimes our wait for our host was slightly long.) Have a dedicated server at the pool. The Mirus bar staff was outstanding (special thanks to Sandip!). However, it would have been a nice touch to have someone coming by more frequently to ask if we needed anything. With that being said (for future guests), it's not a long walk from the pool to the bar. And once you order a drink, the staff was very attentive. I would not hesitate to recommend Alila Maldives!

I stayed 10 days at Alila Kothaifaru with my family. This has truly been the best holiday ever! I’ve enjoyed every day diving, meeting new people and the beautiful atmosphere in the hotel. The staff is amazing! They are so nice and helpful. I can absolutly recommend staying at Alila!! The best!!!
