Reviews for Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives
Review 1:- since the island is close to Male city, they allow groups of Chinese, Indians, etc to come to the resort for 1 day. these are large groups of 7-10 people who are extremely loud and spend their time drinking and screaming at the beach and pool. so.. if you are on a couple's getaway, and I believe EVERYONE actually is (rooms are only for 2 adults), it is very disturbing. but i mean VERY. Once, while we were swimming in the sea, 5 Indians sat on our towel on the sunbed (even with our stuff laying around occupying the sunbed). really not the best view to come to after a relaxing swim.. I don't understand why these groups are allowed to come to the resort, but talking to the staff at the bar, I understood they come often. - it is very windy, so it's uncomfortable to cross the bridge to the water villas (wind almost knocks you off) - poor range of coctails (and the coctails are not the best) - the waves end up directly on the main beach of the island, thus bringing a lot of rocks. It's difficult to step in the water as the rocks are very sharp
Review 2:- staff are super friendly - rooms are very clean - food is very good - SPA is amazing ! - the barman charge 3 i/o 4 drinks, 2 i/o 3 etc.. expecting you to leave a tip. - music is very nice, quiet, relaxing
Review 3:Feels bad a lots of dead seacorals surrounding. Hopefully, resort management able to extending the E Zone operate hour till 1100pm. Over charges at dive center and resort.
Review 4:Friendly staffs overwhelmed us with joy and gratitude. We loves the cocktail drinks and delicious foods. Awesome , relaxing & Nice resort for honeymoon. Thank you for make our stay at Centara so comfortable, joyous & memorable one. Nice and clean & tidy room. Awesome room seaview & can snorkeling surrounding the water villa.
Review 5:Way too much overpriced. For example, we had similar comfort and luxury on Caribbean cruisers but that cost us five times less then this resort. There is also lack of activities and options so you could get bored already after few days. Fortunately we spent only two days in this resort on our one week visit to Maldives. All together it was nice experience, but on my next trip to Maldives i will avoid resorts and stick only with accommodation provided by locals and fully enjoy exploring various islands and diving sites. But this is only my personal opinion influenced by my character.
Review 6:The staff were very friendly, overwater bungalow was beautiful with spectacular terrace with stairs leading directly to water. The food was also very delicious.
Review 7:nothing
Review 8:very good service,every thing is good,staff Andelene Ku is very nice ,when we lost the baggage,she help us fining and come back finally,so lucky meet her and said thank you
Review 9:Wifi is kinda slow.
Review 10:All staffs are friendly n management granted all my special request making my wedd anni a more memorable one.thank u centara ras fushi resort.
Review 11:Staff friendliness varied a lot. Welcome staff are great however the resort as a whole should have consistency. Great service for dinner followed by rude lady telling us to hurry up our breakfast the next morning as they were finishing up the service.
Review 12:Water villa was nice. Shame it was cleaned once in 3 days.
Review 13:The only glitch was the explanation of the meal plan. We didn't understand the high price of the plan so we didn't purchase it. In hind sight we would have because of the high prices of the meals.
Review 14:We like our room location. Stepping out the doors on to the sand and heading our snorkelling was a high light. It was difficult getting the friend I travelled with out of the water :) the service from the staff was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive and prompt.
Review 15:What I did not like was that when I reaerved the hotel the price was aed1600.00 but when I went there they charged me aed 2900... And change.Which I need clarification on. Because that's the price thatreflected in your website.
Review 16:None
Review 17:Heaven on earth! Fantastic island, excellent customer service, superb staff! Kudos to Manu & Remelyn! Thanks to Centara Ras staff - made our stay unforgettable!
Review 18:A pity it was the monsoon seaaon and many watersport activities were stopped.
Review 19:We have our beach villa having a sunset view. The staffs were helpful too.
Review 20:After the payment the reception treats you very bad.. we paid the bill one day before the check out in the next day had to walk all the way from the room with the bags after asking for assistance for the bags.
Review 21:As our first time in Maldives, my wife and i decided to stay in Centara Ras Fushi and it was definitely our best experience. Our water villa and the view we had was extraordinary. Crystal clear waters with lots of marine life. We had a great time exploring the island with the best views of the sunrise and sunset. Since it was our wedding anniversary, CRF surprised us with a lovely bed setup accompanied with complimentary sparkling wine and cake. The food at the Oceans restaurant was amazing especially the buffet and the drinks. Staff service was efficient and very polite. As we explored the island, i could say that despite its small area the spaces and amenitites are very well planned and located. As an architect and hotel interior designer myself, i was impressed by the design of the arrival lobby and bar, the restaurants, the Waves pool bar and water villas. The Viu bar is also a cool place to chill and relax while viewing the sunset. All in all it was the best holiday experience for me and my wife. Thank you CRF for making our stay a truly memorable one!
Review 22:I had stayed there for 2 days my room number 736 which is very far away for walking and oneday when i was rainning and too hard to walk back to my room so i asked staffs to take me there by golf-car and they rejected because they said it's raining and they don't have that service to customer i was surprise because the hotel with 5 star or more that i've been staying they always sevice customer with this.Moreover, after they rejected me so i decided to walk and then i saw some staffs still drived the car took new customer to there room. i was so disappointed.

Review 63:everything was really nice. but the there's no special things in the ocean.
Review 64:staff were not welcoming at all
Review 65:Closeness to Industrial island of Maldives - visible from resort Need beautician on site for nails etc Some Staff in dive shop need to improve friendliness Need to improve the information provided for half and full board - we had to discover ourselves that a lot of drinks are included in the price, a few days late. Suggest a better prepared "Welcome pack" like in resorts in Fiji.
Review 66:Location - beautiful beach and water Quality of Thai restaurant - authentic, excellent Thai food. Staff in restaurants excellent Quality and choice of drinks - cocktails.
Review 67:Choice for food was relatively poor though they have 4 restaurants. Only one choice for breakfast with English style. The Thai restaurant wasnt really nice either.
Review 68:excellent staff. very friendly and helpful. the room was really nice. cozy and big enough. i chose beach front villa but that was already good. quite and private. Arabi restaurant was my fav however not much choice for menu. The price was completely reasonable and worth for wonderful experience
Review 69:Good location with only speedboat transfer..Owesome room design and sea view from our water villa, variety choice of food provided and it was delicious.
Review 70:a/c in rooms was not great ( we tried two rooms!) Any juice cost around 10USD at the bar. scuba diving cost 90USD per dive!
Review 71:Location was 20min boat ride from airport. New facilities, friendly staff, clean beach.
Review 72:Housekeeping was below expectation. The Italian and Thai restaurants were below standard. Surcharges were not explained to me clearly and not upfront. Lack of beaches so I have to stay in my villa most of the time.
Review 73:The view from my water villa
Review 74:Food/packages instructions are not so clear, internet is on the slow side
Review 75:Location (distance from Male), facilities, water villa, staff attitude, maintenance, food quality = Everything !
Review 76:there is one guy staff who lends the snorkelling equipment who made us all feel insulted... eventually we don't want to take the free snorkelling equipment anymore....
Review 77:I love the friendly staffs (except for one)... the villas and restaurant are arranged perfectly and are very clean... i love the island!
Review 78:I would advise all muslim travellers to request that the chef in the restuarant provides them with information regarding what meals are halal or if there is any alcohol in the meals
Review 79:Centara was an excellent location. We stayed in a sunset premium water villa which was in an amazing location and with all the facilities that we required for our stay. Snorkeling was good and the swimming pool was suffficient for the number of guests staying at the resort. The selection of food and drink was good and the spa treatment was very good aswel. I would advise travellers to take US dollars with them as it is the main currency being used there.
Review 80:The sunset bungalows, although beautiful, are extremely hot in the afternoon. A shade sail over the deck would protect the room from some of the heat.
Review 81:The ease of access to the resort. The fast transfer from the airport and the professional approach of the staff. The resort is picture postcard perfect with the most amazingly beautiful clear, clean water.
Review 82:Absolutely beautiful. What you would expect for the price (although when booking we found this significantly better value than other similar resorts). The staff really did do everything they could to attend to your needs and make you comfortable. Delicious food. Amazing views. Beautiful spa and bars. The room was fantastic with a hot tub on our deck over the water. They rented out snorkel so you could snorkel straight from the deck. Room had all the facilities you could ask for. Wonderful stay.
Review 83:Friendly and attentive staffs, spacious room and good facility, nice balcony with direct access to the sea, comfortable bed, nice afternoon tea snacks. wifi is good on the whole island. They agreed to let us have a late check out (until 1pm) so that we can have a shower after our snorkling trip (9am - 12pm). Thanks a lot! The foods in Arabic restaurant and Thai restaurant are better than other restaurants.
Review 84:The only complain I have is I have reserved 3 bedrooms on booking.com about 4 months ahead, and a week before we get there, the hotel called and told me that they can only offer us 2 rooms on the very last night of stay because of their over-book issue.
Review 85:Our first time staying in a Bungalow, and it happens in Maldives! We enjoyed the sunset over the beautiful ocean, hotel is clean, staffs are friendly. They only have 4 restaurants, so you better reserve tables ahead of time to avoid waiting.
Review 86:Didn't like the fact that I was leaving this paradise.
Review 87:Best experience of my life. A true paradise. Loved the always smiling and welcoming staff at Centara. Pinnacle of politeness. Will be back soon and recommend to everyone going to Maldives.
Review 88:We didn't like the view of the factory that could be seen from our villa. We asked to be moved to another villa, but the person checking us in seemed a bit outraged by our request. In the end, the manager did offer us another villa, which was perfect.
Review 89:It was a convenient location, only 20 minutes away by boat. The food was fantastic and so was the waiting staff, who were very attentive to our needs.
Review 90:I liked everything about this resort! I read some reviews after I booked a villa. I was a bit afraid that there was no reef but it turned out it was located nearby sunset villas (Viu Bar, the right side of it if you're looking at the sea). So if you live there or if you're a good snorkler (like me and my husband) it's not a problem to swim there - a beautiful coral garden and an amazing underwater life are easily accessible. I didn't see the garbage island, you see it only if you're looking to see it. Transfer was organized without any problems, we didn't wait for anyone, the second pair arrived just 10 minutes after us and we went straight to the resort. The staff is simply amazing - I have never seen so many kind attentive open people in one place, they do everything so that you feel comfortable and the most important guest in the world. Thanks to them very very much, it's my favourite place so far!
Review 91:the open buffet has not a lot of options , and not very good taste room service food was not good at all
Review 92:spa was very very good service was very good and the view was amazing from every where
Review 93:1) Contrary to other reviews I have read, we did not find some of the staff to be very friendly compared to say South East Asian resorts. Most people did not say hi to us when walking past. 2) There was a fly issue during sunset hours particularly at the Viu Bar which irritated quite a few guests especially when the view was so beautiful from there. 3) We asked for wake up call for the day we were leaving and did not receive it. Thank goodness we had our alarms on phones as back up. 4) The view of the rubbish island is not great especially for some of the water villas (luckily we did not stay in the wing)
Review 94:1) The resort was great for a one week stay. It had everything you needed for that period of time. 2) Good choice of food and restaurants. 3) All inclusive deal was perfect. 4) The rooms in water villa were great with bathroom windows opening out to room and being able to look out into ocean. 5) Facilities I found to be great for a small resort. 6) I like the fact that it was more or less adults only resort so it felt very calm and relaxing. 7) Loved the Swedish Thyra band who were performing on the first night of our stay. 8) As it is quite a new resort, everything was nice and clean. 8) It was quick ride from airport so no need to transfer to another long ride after a long flight. However, it means perhaps the location is less idyllic as some other more remote resorts.
Review 95:The ocean was at times too rough for snorkeling. We would have liked a complimentary snorkeling trip to one of the good reefs. It would also be great if the boat transfer was free as it is operated by Centara itself, if not free at least cheaper. The 15 minute boat ride from the airport to the resort was half the price of our international flight from India to Maldives.
Review 96:We loved everything. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was the best we have stayed in. The view was brilliant. The half board package was more than sufficient as the spread had a lot of variety and we usually don't eat lunch. We were celebrating our anniversary and room service were kind enough to decorate our room brilliantly and also offer complimentary wine and cake.
Review 97:Unfortunately hotel had management issues, e.g. it took 2hours to check in and staff wasn't trained properly. So much unused potential
Review 98:Spa and Design was excellent
Review 99:The price for dining leaves you no choice but to take the all inclusive upgrades. Food is very good and clean but should be a little higher in relation to price.
Review 100:Staff is very well organized and the way the island is taken care of.
Review 101:The Thai restaurant was not as good as what i expected, not agreed with those who gave high recommend. what i means is only the taste of food not service, only have one choice for the inclusive package, its too less ;(
Review 102:The structure & environment of the resort, especially the night view of swimming pool, viu bar & ocean restaurant. It's great that the snorkeling equipments is FOC. Good value for money.Highly recommend to those who are planning to Maldives.
Review 103:There could be some more entertaintment in the evenings. We had only alive guitar concert in one night.
Review 104:Transportation from airport is easy. Staff, hygiene, location, foods arealso impressive. Visitors should choose all exclusive packages if theymade half board reservations. Spa was also perfect.
Review 105:An abundance of flies, which needs to be addressed with the resort.
Review 106:From landing at the Maldives, our stay at the resort till our departure from the Maldives was exceptional.We could not of asked for a better holiday,easy booking with your company to a great resort and destination.The resort was most accommodating from speed boat transfers to restaurant bookings, to joining in with resort activities. I can highly recommend your booking service and costings that you offer along with this fantastic holiday rest and destination..thank you.
Review 107:They do fumigation at 5pm which smells bay. Perhaps they could do this later at night?
Review 108:Lovely staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you. Water villas were wonderful, food was amazing.
Review 109:Problem of not accepting global currencies ..
Review 110:It can be a piece of heaven , so relaxing , staff were ok , me and my friend had a warm welcome with a chilled glass of ice tea , decent food , good water sports , beautiful beach
Review 111:the offered to me to up grade my package for "all inclusive" I did, but many drinks and food were not included and I got to know after I agreed to up grade. so their "all inclusive package" is not a true "all inclusive" they sell to you one thing but in the end is not what you was bought.
Review 112:the structure of the hotel, location and environment.
Review 113:Best resort ever. Staff was friendly and so nice. Resort was clean, really nothing to complain. Our cleaner went above and beyond to make our stay as beautiful as it already was.
Review 114:Stayed in the month of October. The resort is close to male airport around 20 mins only. The resort is small but with all the facilities one can ask for. The rooms are good as the resort is new. The food is good wouldn't rate it 5 stars. The Thai restaurant saun baun is best place to eat. They upgraded us to top most room premium water villa the last night free of cost
Review 115:Waiting while checking in. It took around hour or so.
Review 116:Personnel at diving centre are less friendly. Should have organise more activities other than snorkeling n diving. At nite should have more live music and place to dance at Viu bar or poolside.
Review 117:Very clean resort and most of staff are friendly. Food at 3 outlets are good. Did not have chance to try the Al Khama .
Review 118:Some of the stuff and i repeat only some were not smiling nothing else to say abt this resort
Review 119:I loved everything from the minute i came to the minute i left . Internet was excellent and i was happy that i was upgraded to all exclusive which means i get free access to allrestaurants and bars ofcoyrse with limited choices but stillit was great The rooms were clean Water sports were great especially that the unmotired ones were free The spa was wonderful To sub up everything was awsome
Review 120:They did not have kite surfing
Review 121:The location was perfect, the accommodation was excellent and the wholeresort is very clean and new, snorkeling from the water villa was greatand the dive centre was excellent. All of the staff were exceptionallyfriendly, polite and helpful. The Thai restaurant served authentic andtasty Thai food.
Review 122:Turn down service unnecessary as we were sleeping and staff rang the doorbell twice to ask us if we wanted it even though the room had been made up that morning. Sandbags halfway down the beach looked untidy.
Review 123:Friendly staff, lovely settings and bars. Good selection of drinks, no young children and the food at the buffet was great for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Review 124:I have seen a couple of children, although it is suppose to be a resort for guests over 12 years old...
Review 125:Paradise - beautiful beaches, small and nice island, good food, professional staff, really nice water villas, not far away from Male. I would definitely go there again!
Review 126:vala beach locations Bad
Review 127:Excellent resort, quiet, romantic, respectable, staff were very cooperative, the restaurant is diverse, skilled chef I thank all chefs and particularly the three Egyptians for their cooperation with everyone.
