Adaaran Select Meedhupparu - with 24Hrs Premium All Inclusive

Amazing stay we had where we had an All Inclusive stay with great number of drinks, all you would want to have during the vacations on a beach, and really nice and tasty Indian restaurant and another main restaurant with Different Menu every day. The service was impeccable at the Hotel, never short of any offerings, we had some really nice Manta Excursion and Sunset and Dolphin excursions were already included in the price. Really nice house riff where we saw Eagle Ray, Sharks, Turtle, Moray and tons of other colorful fishes. Great white sandy beaches and beautiful sunset point. All round perfect holiday. Great support from Anand and Apoorva

Recently returned from a wonderful holiday and would struggle to find fault with this resort. I would recommend taking the seaplane transfer. We were escorted to the lounge where snacks, soft drinks, tea and coffee were provided. It’s worth packing a change of clothes as the seaplane is pretty hot since there is no AC. There are also showers available in the lounge, which can be very welcome after a long flight. We only had to wait 80 minutes for the seaplane transfer. (I did hear of guests who took the internal flight/boat transfer and it took them 12 hours to get from Male airport to the resort). The seaplane journey is spectacular. We stayed in beach villas and were very happy with this choice. The room was huge, the minibar was replenished every day plus tea and coffee) , bed was very comfortable, loved the outdoor shower (we never used the one in the bathroom). There was a turndown service in the evening and water was replenished again then. Good to see plastic is not used and water is in glass bottles, which is the resort’s environmental policy. Some more coat hangers would have been useful as there were not many provided. Our room attendant did a tremendous job and kept our room spotless. We were very fortunate being there when occupancy was low (mid/late April). This meant the restaurants were never busy, even at peak times. We could not fault the standard and choice of food. The main buffet restaurant had a different theme each evening, so we didn’t find it repetitive and there was always a wide selection. Shout out to the lovely Sri Lankan chef, unfortunately didn’t get his name, who was always very welcoming. Breakfast finished at 9.30am, which was quite early. Perhaps extending to 10am would be good, although I am aware a few breakfast items are available at Haliboli once the restaurants close. We dined at the Indian restaurant Sufura a few times and the food was lovely. The a la carte restaurant, Thavaa needs to be booked and you can have 1 dinner and 1 lunch there weekly. Again the food was great. We didn’t have any problem getting booked as the resort was quiet, but would recommend you book as soon as you get there. Cafe Mass, which did burgers, pizzas, sandwiches and salads was good if you didn’t fancy going to the restaurant. We did the complimentary dolphin and sunset cruises. Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins and the sunset was too cloudy! But the boat trips were enjoyable. Additional trips/experiences/dining options are available, but are pricey and we didn’t feel the need to try them. The bar staff at Haliboli were very attentive - special thanks to Keppi and Alif. Both always had a smile on their face and they looked after us very well. One thing I found strange was the only place I could get certain drinks (eg Marguerita, Mojito) without having to pay extra, was at the Albino bar. The other bars charged - don’t know the rationale behind that policy. Water shoes are beneficial as there can be sharp pieces

ArStA I will be writing more than one review about this little bit of paradise, but today I want to tell you about this little gem of a restaurant Sufura hidden behind the main restaurant. Serving traditional. Indian food plus a selection of food that is served in the main restaurant. Quieter cooler and excellent fast service headed up by the excellent Hostess Apoorva. All the food here is excellent but by far the homemade breads and Tandoori chicken were my highlight Thank you Chef Anant you are a star

Excellent Indian restaurant with tasty food, changing menu and very kind &attentive service. You feel welcome every time you visit. We went here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was never boring and chefs stay true to their culture & cuisine. I recommend to visit this restaurant on every possible occasion if you appreciate warmth, culture and kindness

Overall a beautiful stunning paradise island. On arrival we were greeted with nice cold drinks and cold flannels to refresh ourselves and given a run down on everything we needed to know. Unfortunatley, the only negative was that our rooms were not ready on arrival and we had to wait around for 2 hours which was very uncomfortable in the heat after travelling for 24 hours when all we wanted to do was get washed and have a rest. This was happening for alot of guests arriving and we feel this is not acceptable when guest are travelling a long way. Some of the staff we found were very grumpy and not happy in their work (sunset bar & albino bar). Other than that everything was very very nice. Make sure to book your included sunset cruise and dolphin cruise asap as they get booked up quickly. Accomodation is basic but comfortable with a lovely outside area to relax with a beautiful view. Food was good although the restaurants get very hot and busy. There are 4 restaurants which you can dine in and 1 of them is included but needs a reservation asap as it gets booked up. The pool was lovely with a pool bar as an added bonus. The alcoholic drinks are all named brands and are served in very large measures! We found some of the guest during our holiday were too loud and intoxicated most days in the pool and spoilt the peace and relaxation of other guests at times. We found that alot of relaxing guests woud retreat back to their rooms or the beach when the loud ones got louder as the day went on. We are not party poopers but the behaviour of some of the guests was not appropriate, especially when there are children playing in the pool. Maybe the staff should have said something to them. The beach and snorkeling was brilliant. The reef if accesable from the beach and is all the way around the island and quite shallow. Overall a fantasic holiday and we would definaltley reccommed.
