An amazing holiday at the Centara Machchafushi resort. We are a family of 5 and stayed in the Club Villa with Pool. The room was fantastic, the kids loved the pool, it opened out on to the beach with a small lagoon and then immediately followed by the spectacular house reef. I have never seen such an abundant reef, we managed to see so much of the diverse marine life including turtles, reef sharks, parrot fish, banner fish, trigger fish, clown fish and many more that my kids are much more adept at remembering! Highly recommend the excursions on offer by the water sports centre. Apart from the daily Snorkelling on the house reef, we also tried the beginner scuba diver experience, whale shark/manta ray snorkelling, traditional line fishing (option available to have the restaurant cook your catch!). The staff at the resort were amazing, really attentive to all your needs and super helpful at all times. Islam from Housekeeping kept the villa immaculate and always on hand to provide anything we needed. The staff at the Reef restaurant were fabulous, special thanks to Jasim, Riyad, Ripon and Marx who looked after us everyday. Similarly, Salman and the rest of the team at the Club were great. Thank you so much for an amazing and memorable experience for our family.
I'm very happy to have a vacation here, and the service is very thoughtful. Thank you to the staff AMANULLA for painting the whale shark sand painting for us.We love it.See you soon.
My therapist was a lovely, friendly lady called Susi. She was excellent at targeting the area which I had most tension. The pressure was perfect and Susi made sure to ask me throughout whether she is applying the right pressures. I would definitely recommend having the 90 minute full body massage. What a lovely way to end the holiday, I feel totally relaxed. Thank you Susi you were amazing !! X
