An amazing resort, staff very helpful and food good. Only down side you check out at 12 and your package ends so you have to pay for stuff until you leave like I did boat out 17.30 over water villa we'll worth it. So many fish to see of your deck.

Wife had a stomach infection on second day which is continuing so that mess up up our time here as much as possible. Staff food are good

We have just returned from a great 10 day stay at Centara Ras Fushi. 1. Location Centara Ras Fushi is located across the lagoon from the capital Male. Our central location did mean that we could see the buildings of Male on the horizon. The sea in between was a mooring place for tankers and other bulk carrying vessels. Whilst we were not impacted some of the neighbouring islands were clearly used for industrial purposes. Speedboat transfers from the airport were quick and took only around 30 minutes. For our return journey this meant that we were able to check out at a reasonable time, go to breakfast just as the buffet was opening before getting our speedboat transfer back to the airport. We discovered that other passengers joining our flight home from more remote locations were less fortunate and had needed to leave their accommodation well before dawn. 2. Food and Drink The Oceans buffet provided an excellent choice of food to suit all tastes. This is unlike some buffets in other hotels that we have stayed in. Oceans always felt calm and relaxed. The food was well presented and of high quality. We had no problem making bookings at other restaurants using the Concierge app. This just meant planning a couple of days ahead. The Al Khaimah restaurant served Middle Eastern cuisine in a Bedouin style tent which had a great atmosphere and was particularly enjoyable. The Viu overwater bar was ideal both for sunset cocktails and later drinks under the stars. With little light pollution the night sky was spectacular. The mini bar in room was stocked with essentials if a cold beer and pringles were needed whilst changing for dinner. The mini bar was replenished daily. 3. The Centara Ras Fushi Team The staff at Centara Ras Fushi were outstanding. All were friendly and helpful. Whilst we didn't get to know names to thank individually, restaurant, bar and housekeeping staff all made our stay an memorable and enjoyable experience. The Viu bar team in particular would stop to chat at quieter times taking a genuine interest in how we were enjoying our stay. 4. Accommodation We stayed in a Sunset Overwater Villa. Externally these appeared to be simple grey painted timber thatched structures on wooden posts. But internally we had a very well finished and comfortable room with a large comfortable bed. Housekeeping did a great job keeping the room clean with the floor washed down daily. The walk in wardrobe area was actually part of the bathroom but there was plentiful hanging space and hangers. There were 4 areas of open shelving for anything that would not use a hanger. We use packing cubes for our luggage so left most of our clothing organised in the cubes on the shelving. The shower took several minutes to run hot. Presumably hot water is being drawn from a plant room at the end of the boardwalk. Once we realised that hot water took a while to reach us I would run the shower whilst shaving and this would then be hot when ready to use. We had experienced a tropical storm on our first night and woke at 7am to question whether the room was shaking! It wasn't but we were feeling vibrations from the waves hitting the supports below us which we soon got used to. Thankfully waterproof jackets were provided allowing us to get to breakfast that morning. Happily these were not needed for the rest of our stay. 5. Activities This is a great place for some world class diving. Thank you Shiyaan and team at the Best Dives Maldives centre on site at Ras Fushi for several interesting morning dive trips. Snorkelling is available right from the steps beneath the villa. Coral outcrops in the shallow lagoon had plentiful reef life including a small moray eel. I am a keen diver but to see juvenile black tip reef sharks, stingrays, puffer fish and eagle rays all from the sun lounger on my villa decking without getting my feet wet was a real treat. Other boat trips and cruises are available but were pricey and not used.
