Dhigali Maldives - A Premium All-Inclusive Resort

no hot water to shower.some mosquitoes borther.didn't book watching dophin

On arrival by seaplane to Dhigali we were greeted with a warm welcome by Chris and his team. This friendly vibe continued throughout our stay, staff knew our names, and were attentive to every detail ensuring we had the best experience. We stayed in room 328 which was a great location and close to all the amenities. It was cleaned to perfection every day by Watty, and was very spacious, great bathroom and big comfortable bed. We enjoyed fabulous food in every restaurant, the variety was excellent,but our standout meals were in Jade. The coffee shop was a nice touch and a good stop off after an early morning walk. The spa is very tranquil, we enjoyed massage and facials with Gusti and Wanda. You can smell the spa before you see it, beautiful fragrance fills the air. It’s a must during your stay. The dive centre is well equipped and immaculate. Managed by Greg and his team. During our stay my partner enjoyed 18 dives seeing shark, manta, turtles and more. His dive instructor Franzi was fantastic ensuring he had the best experience. The boat crew were very attentive. If you’re not a diver like me the snorkelling is also great, seeing turtles, sting rays loads of beautiful fish and even a fair sized shark. I had the need to see a doctor during our stay, this was organised promptly for me and the island doctor was very thorough, he prescribed medication and said he would contact me in 48 hours for my progress, which he did and my symptoms were cleared. The sunset at Halli bar is spectacular, a great way to finish the day with a cocktail and seeing the sea glimmer like liquid gold as the sun fades. Dhigali is immaculate and constantly being tended to by the team of staff who work very hard. All their efforts ensured we had a fantastic,relaxing holiday and we would highly recommend Dhigali for your next adventure.

We visited Dhigali 30th Dec for 9 nights. From the moment we stepped off of the seaplane the welcome was wonderful. The resort is lush and tropical. The staff are outstanding. Everyone without exception was welcoming, smiling and doing their best to deliver polite and friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble. This comes from the top down. The GM Chris Szabo is extremely personable and very visible. He makes the effort to visit each restaurant every day, is always walking around the resort, always saying hello and stopping for a chat. He’s the most affable and approachable GM we’ve met in the Maldives. All of the staff seemed happy in their environment. Many having worked there from when the resort first opened. Which speaks volumes. Kumar is a delight and such a gentleman, again, offering top service. Laamiu and Tiari (sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong) were amazing, very attentive, super friendly and hard working. Softy on reception is lovely. The guys at East Bar are efficient, friendly and offer great service. As does the lovely lady in the wonderful Haali Bar. Even when it rained the gentleman responsible for ensuring the beach area was clean at Haali Bar threw on a raincoat and kept raking the sand. The resort is spotless. We were in a water villa with a pool (room 711). It was in an ideal location for Haali Bar at sunset. I don’t think we’ll find a better sunset bar. The restaurants are great and it’s wonderful not to be limited to only one visit per stay etc. Thank you to all of the team for a wonderful stay and working so hard. We hope to return.

I never normally write reviews. However, my wife told me about a review written by a 2 year old recently about this resort and the General Manager there. We spent 2 weeks at Dhigali in November. The resort, staff and food were all excellent. We met Chris Sazebo, the boss, on a number of occasions because he was everywhere checking on everything. If there was a tech glitch recently on a desert atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean they would have done everything to fix things as quickly as possible and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Gutes All Inclusive mit a la Carr Restaurants Gutes Hotel, sehr freundliches Personal, All Inclusive ist gut gemacht und passte tiptop. Die Qualität der Restaurants könnte noch besser sein für Feinschmecker - wir haben so fast immer nur im asiatischen Abendessen eingenommen. Alles in allem aber eine gute Preis Leistung

I had to write this review, mainly in response the the last one I read by some chap who clearly took issue with Christian (Chris) the manager, secondly, because having spent Xmas and New Year on the Island it would be remiss of me not to share with others how fantastic this resort is, not only for the quality of the island and the amenities, but also how well the management team run things. This was my 6th trip to the Maldives and this was by far the best resort, the place can not be faulted, food is fab, rooms are great, bars and restaurants well run. We, my Wife and I, actually found Christian to be one of the most attentive managers, he was everywhere, meeting and greeting and very proactive, this was super noticeable as his Silver electric scooter was to be seen regularly. IT issues happen, being locked out of your room is a bummer, but, really, downgrade a 5 star island to 3 on the basis of a glitch..... NO, unfair and likely a reflection of a less than positive individual who should go suck the life out of a party elsewhere. Dhigali is fab, I recommend if you can? Go..... all the other reviews count.
