Reviews for Mirihi Island Resort

Review 1：None, except that, like all the Maldivian islands these days, food and extras are very expensive. In this case the extra cost was justified.

Review 2：The best buffet in the world. Water villa smaller than most, but perfectly designed and equipped.Very quiet and relaxing.

Review 3：Mirihi is a beautiful, lush, tiny island with white sand beaches. Beautiful coloured fish and coral were at our doorstep. The overwater bungalows were beautiful and so private. We didn't wear shoes for our entire stay which added to the feeling of freedom. Our stay was so relaxing and the staff and food were excellent.

Review 4：Having to leave :'( But definitely will be back!!

Review 5：Cosy little piece of paradise with amazing attention to detail friendly staff with smiles, lovely house reef with turtles, eagle rays, white & black tip sharks, baby sharks, nemos, whale shark & dolphins, complimentary late-check-out with best timing in accordance with seaplane. The best ever! Thank you everyone! =^.^= Having second thoughts about big hotel chains who probably do not know your name. ':)

Review 6：Mirihi is a true paradise on an incredibly beautiful island. Ideal size for a resort (just 36 villas) and great value for your money considering the prices of other +9/10 rated resorts in the Maldives. Excellent snorkelling on the resort's house reef and one of the best meals I've ever had was in the resort's Muraka fine dining restaurant. All of the resort staff is also on another level and go out of their way to help you with anything!

Review 7：a bit over priced, yet you forget about money when you live the experience.

Review 8：The whole experience; from landing to leaving the resort. We loved how friendly and helpful all the staff were, they were all genuine in their help. Its peacefulness and how everyone respects your privacy. The food was perfect, very fresh and beautifully made.

Review 9：Nothing

Review 10：Everything was wonderful! Beautiful island, superb coral reef accessed directly from our very comfortable beach villa, amazing food, courteous friendly and welcoming staff.Nothing was too much trouble, every need was anticipated.

Review 11：Do not come and fret about your credit card balance its only money This was a bucket list trip Would love to return but too expensive

Review 12：Fantastic place staff total relax Amazing food

Review 13：They give you one litre of water for free every day (for two persons, so half a litre per person) ... the rest you have to pay and it's not cheap.

Review 14：The staff were very attentive and nice. The island itself is very beautiful. Everything was great.

Review 15：Too many infos upon arrival mostly after long journey. Activities should be described later on in the arrival day. Unclear and unreliable excursions tours, relating to number of persons required, and exact pricing for the tour(3 personnels asked, 3 different prices !) Should be more precise on shopping locations whatever in other islands or Male(for ex. shops in Denguiti were very limited) Not enough activities : no local traditional dances , no fishing tours for non-divers...

Review 16：Mostly ALL the personnel , always smiling , taking care of your interests, and at your disposal. And the special organisation of my wife ' s birthday with candles on sunset at beach...

Review 17：Its expensive, but once you experience the resort, the food and meet the people the expected cost similar to other resorts becomes far less painful.

Review 18：Authentic Maldivian charm, architecture, scenery and personality. By far and a way the best resort if you want seclusion, stunning scenery and snorkelling with a genuine hospitality from all staff. Also need to mention the amazing food.

Review 19：The meal is expensive, the price of the Dhoveli buffet is $90 per adult, $45 per kid, drink is not included. There are not too many stafff and visitors in the island, so you must pay much attention to yourself and your family's safety, and be responsible for this.

Review 20：Tiny island but great view, friendly staff, clean environment & facilities. Dhonveli is the main restaurant in the island and is a buffet one. It's very nice, and provides the visitors diffrent theme dinner buffet every day. Specially the BBQ theme is wonderful! Muraka restaurant is over the water, there you can place order according to yourself. When you enjoy your dinner, you can watching the fish under your feet. By the way the mixed grilled seafood is very restrongly recommended. If you spend more than two nights in the island, you should arrange at least one night to have dinner in there.

Review 21：Very overpriced place plus hidden taxes - you will pay finally around 30% more than it has been proposed in the booking.com. Very poor nature: for a week period we've seen just a few small sharks and once some stingrays (we are not snorklers but have good experience in staying in other Maldive islands). Besides, the level of water in the ocean under water villa place is practically so low that it will not enable you to swim downstairs from water villa bearing in mind the coralls (they are mostly dead, traumatic and surround the villa area, so the bottom is not cleaned). As to the hotel, there is no TV in the room and no bidet in the bathroom as well, the dramatical lack of sunbeds - just a few on the beach is quickly occupied early in the morning, so all of that indicates it is not the level of 5* at all and a real estimation must be within 6.5-7.0

Review 22：Friendly staff, especially Nicky was helpful. Very good chef in the restaurant organized outstanding dinner in 2014 New Year Eve! The food was always delicious. Relaxing atmosphere.

Review 23：Heaven on earth Staff extremely nice and helpful Small island which is nice and cozy Baby sharks great reef gorgeous sea turtles

Review 24：Staff was truly wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate and surprise us! Great attention to detail. I've never seen anything like it!

Review 25：Food and staff especially Jasmine.

Review 26：Costs of the Extra's

Review 27：The diving sites, the reef

Review 28：lack of sport activities for youth (jetsky - banana ect.)

Review 29：Great experience. Greaaaaat staff and 100 % i will repeat the experience.

Review 30：Having to leave

Review 31：Everything. Superlatives don't exaggerate. We'll return when the opportunity arises.

Review 32：Expensive food esp the dinner buffet. The whale shark encounter trip should have been nice if not due to big waves. Take a sea-sick tabs before going, its a must!

Review 33：I liked every corner of the island.... the staff were awesome and very friendly and accommodating. They treat us in a very very special way. The water villa we stayed was perfect! Snorkelling!!!! Beach bumming!!! Spa!!!

Review 34：small room, no salon but was ok for us since we didn't stay in the villa, Good for relax but not for activities Everyday same breakfast buffet

Review 35：1. super kind staff/service (I am pregnant, all the staff know it and cared, thanks!) 2. Snorkeling everywhere - real nature, saw a small shark (1m) everyday 3. small/private island - only 36 villas 4. Daily program (free or pay) 5. everyday different concept of buffet, Lobster dinner was wonderful!!! 6. No mosquito/insects Overall, very comfortable staying for 6 night

Review 36：everything is absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing & private holiday. The island is small and there are few rooms/villas which makes the whole experience so special & private.

Review 37：- Bad weather (not related to the facility of course but beware if you plan to go end of August. We barely could see the sun during the whole week. Just bad luck maybe) - Not enough sunbeds

Review 38：+ Friendly staff + Excellent food with great variety + Quietness, coziness + Cleanliness + Wonderful reefs and underwater beauty just around the hotel

Review 39：Checking out and leaving.

Review 40：If you are looking for a busy, crowded island with poor facilities andlimited food selections, this island is not for you and I would suggestyou look elsewhere. Every facet of our holiday to Mirihi Island Resortwas simply amazing and I can't recommend it highly enough. Theisland is stunning; white sand beaches, tranquil waters and abundantmarine life and reefs to snorkel. The accommodations are excellent; weopted for a water villa which had stairs leading to the ocean. Veryprivate, very clean, very well equipped. We had everything we needed,and more. With half-board comes breakfast and dinner. At both mealtimes, the selection and variety of food was unbelievable and inplentiful supply. Every meal was a favorite and I couldn't say anegative word about the food, the Chefs who prepared it, nor the staffwho waited in the restaurants. They were professional and exceeded everyexpectation. Rarely do I put weight on when I'm on holiday - I didhere. My wife and I spent a not inconsiderable amount of timeresearching the many many resort options in the Maldives and this placealways came out on top. In summary, being good, or impressing once iseasy. Doing it all the time, everyday, effortlessly, in my mind is themark of true professionalism and a team who truly enjoy their jobs. Oneyou see Mirihi Island, you'll see why the location helps! With allsincerity, I hope you enjoy your holiday there as much as we did.

Review 41：Everything is very very nice. Everything works systematic and co-ordinated. We have not had any downtime. The meals were delicious and varied.Staff were very friendly. Spa is very good.

Review 42：Mattress a bit hard. Other than that, everything is great！

Review 43：Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent place for snorkelling with beautiful reef and fish. Tasty and variety of food.

Review 44：We did not like the fact the we were rushed to check out which we havenot encountered in different resorts we have been to.The peanuts should have been free of charge considering the price they are charging for a night of stay. We felt we were kinda treated sarcastically during check out since we just stayed for 2 nights by the resort manager. Be careful with the boder of the bed, my bf hit it twice as it wasnt obvious. Had we known that we can snorkle at the sharks area we would have gone for it but it was not on the bulletin board of activities. We figured out only when we saw boats coming and we asked the staff about it. Too bad they only had one underwater camera when we went for scuba diving, it was already reserved by other guest. We requested for a private dinner/bbq but there was no way we could make it due to the wedding. It would have been nice if they arrange a small party at night for the guests so it would be more fun since at night there are no more activities to do on the island.

Review 45：We loved the food but it could have been better if there were moreoptions especially local cuisine so we can really have the taste ofmaldives. More seafood dish could be better.Loved the room interior, balcony. Loved the staffs at the restaurant, they were attentive. Loved the corals and the fishes below our balcony. Loved the complimentary spa.

Review 46：Mirihi = Paradise. It’s a very small Island with superb beach andsnorkeling. On most of the snorkeling trips along the house reef we sawturtles, and swimming is excellent directly from the most lovely whitesandy beach. No need for shoes to protect your feed if you just goingfor a swim. The restaurant serves excellent gourmet food in lovelysurroundings and is part of the half board. Mirihi is quiet,breathtaking and so warm and lovely. So if you looking for party,speedboats etc. – Mirihi is not the place. Duniye Spa and the Ocean ProDive Team is both excellent. We have visit 5 other 4-5 stars resort inMaldives, but Mirihi is the best. We stayed for 10 nights, that’sperfect. Looking forward to return…

Review 47：Pricy (but you really get bang for your buck!)

Review 48：What is it not to like about this Hotel?? Extremely positive and helpful staff. Incredible food. Excellent snorkling. Perfect temperature. Nice set of activities available (you can do more than sunbading..)

Review 49：Leaving after 'just' 7 days, we expected it to be enough but should have stayed at least 10.

Review 50：Overall experience of being on a luxury island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Diving experience (whalesharks & manta's). Quality of food (both buffet and a la carte).

Review 51：Nothing! =)

Review 52：Excellent service and very clean rooms. Great for honeymoon and young couples. Small and cosy island. We are definitely going back and highly recommend!

Review 53：I love everything in Mirihi really.

Review 54：Thanks for all staffs here. They brought a wonderful holiday. Friendly service, prefect house style, delicious food, great snorkeling!

Review 55：1 Although the food is perfect in Mirihi, I hope it can have more themerestaurants to enjoy different kinds of food.2 The boder of the bed is black and it is not obvious. I bump to the boder everyday when I walk near the bed....If the hotel can change it simply by sticking a colorful tape, it will be much much better. 3 The staff in reception is not familar with the VISA Debit payment. My card has a chip inside, which means it need to put inside the machine. The staff did the wrong way to sweep my card. So the machine refuse my card. He told me that it is my card's problem and asked me for another VISA card. After I talked to my bank for 3 times (almost 2 hours). A supervisor from my bank confirmed that it is problem of the hotel, not the bank. So I came back to reception to ask him to do it again. Finally, it can work. But this situation make me very unhappy, although I kown we need to give every new staff a chance.

Review 56：Everything is perfect, especially the services!!! Do not hesitate tochoose this hotel!! Mirihi is always your first option!!!!!

Review 57：Would have liked to have had more time on Mirihi - perhaps next time:)

Review 58：The staff were simply the best. They were very accommodating of various foods allergies and preferences. They were informed and friendly and helpful. The island itself has the most wonderful diversity of marine life which can be easily enjoyed by snorkel or scuba. A quiet island where time could be spent doing something or nothing: The perfect indulgent de-stressor.

Review 59：I didn´t like staying only ten nights!
