We arrived at the resort on 18 April, late in the day due to our BA flight being 3 hours late. Our welcome drink was cool and minty (non-alcoholic) and the cold flannels were very welcome in the humidity. [Some comments re filling in forms after long travelling might be made but we didn’t ask]. In a short time we... More

I am writing to express our appreciation for the quality of service you offered us during our stay at Filitheyo for our Honeymoon. It was our first visit in Maldives. We were lucky to stay at Water Villa #38 and everything was lovely! We could see from day one that Filitheyo service has a great quality, both because of its... More

This was our first trip to this beautiful Island. I have been to the Maldives before but a much smaller resort. For a larger island it was fantastic, not too crowded, amazing house reef, easy access, huts on the beach. We had the beach to ourselves quite a lot of the time. The food was superb and the choice fabulous,... More

Our second time at this resort and stayed in the same water bungalow as last year. As I wrote a review in 2012 there is not much to add. It's still a very pleasant island to stay at good snorkelling and easy access to the reef.. Very good food although yet again on occasions really good roasts spoiled by failure... More

My first trip to Maldives was a good one. We traveled as a couple May 2012, and stayed for 10 days in a water villa. The villa was spatious, clean and had a romantic set. All good, after you got used to sleep with the constant sound of water underneath. Meals were good and various. The island is beautiful, quite... More

We stayed on Filitheyo mid Feb 2013, and had a good time, We flew with Emerites via Dubai,which was OK but you just want to get there and don't really want to be sitting at an airport waiting for a connection which was delayed for an hour. When we landed at Male, we were running late and were wisked over... More

After reading all reviews an after months of detailed reasearch, we decided for Filitheyo. Bingo! Barefoot for entire stay, walking on powderlike sand, swiming among thousands of colorfull fishes felt unreal. Full privacy due to almost invisible, but always there when needed incredibly professional stuff. Main restaurant food fully natural, with permanent offer of local dishes plus daily changed theme...
