NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort

We had a truly memorable experience during our 6 days stay at the small NH Collection Reethi Faru Beach Resort in the Baa Atoll in the Maldives. The staff was very friendly and any request was fulfilled fast and with a smile. Our villa (- Sunset Beach Villa) was very nice and well equipped with an open air bathroom. The house reef offered an abundance of colorful fish in all sizes and in large schools. There were almost always reef sharks to be seen and often tortoises as well. The best house reef we have visited in terms of abundance and variety of sea life. The Baa Atoll is not far from Hanifaru Bay, where the large Manta Rays can usually be spotted.

We really liked stay here, Mellyana is super friendly, helping a lot in the restaurant , always attentive and so sweet, Shahid is very attentive and open, ready to help, we’ve got the best service with Kiki, Afu and all staff, very impressive!!!! Thank you guys!!!💝💝💝

We received a voucher from our travel agency for a three-night stay at NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort and decided to include it as part of our island-hopping trip within Baa Atoll. For us, it was a new experience, and we were excited to discover another resort in the Maldives. The former Reethi Beach Resort has been taken over by NH Collection, renovated and upgraded from a 4-star to a 5-star resort. However, you can still notice that the resort is in a transitional and organizational phase, and some procedures and service standards still need time to fully settle in. Initially, we were given a Beach Bungalow which, for us, felt unusually small and unfortunately did not quite meet our expectations. At reception, we were told that an upgrade was not possible because the resort was fully booked – although, as GHA DISCOVERY Platinum members, we are eligible for a complimentary upgrade subject to availability. Then the wonderful Villa Hotel Manager- KIKI , stepped in🫶 She immediately noticed how unhappy we were with the situation and somehow managed to make the seemingly impossible possible. Thanks to our GHA DISCOVERY Platinum status, she arranged a complimentary upgrade to a Deluxe Beach Bungalow with Pool 🙏🏻😍 It was such a wonderful surprise! The bungalow was considerably larger, newly renovated and, with its private pool, a huge improvement for us. Kiki truly transformed our stay and showed how much genuine care, understanding and personal commitment can make a difference ❤️ The island itself is beautiful, with lush tropical vegetation, a lovely beach and a stunning blue lagoon 🏝️🩵 Having now stayed at 13 resorts in the Maldives, mostly in the 5-star category, we naturally have quite a lot to compare it with. In our opinion, there is still some room for improvement when it comes to service and organization. Some procedures did not yet seem completely established. The food was good, although for a 5-star resort we would have appreciated a little more variety and choice. There are already some very experienced and dedicated members of staff, while others may simply need more time to gain experience and adjust to the new standards. We especially took to heart the wonderful and very attentive waiter -Sandeep at the bar and the lovely Japanese waitress in the restaurant🫶 And, of course, another very special thank you to Kiki, whose kindness, understanding and personal effort truly turned things around and made our stay so much more enjoyable ❤️🙏🏻 Overall, it was an interesting new experience for us on a beautiful Maldivian island. The resort definitely has great potential and will surely continue to improve as the new structures, organization and service standards become more established. Our personal impression at the moment: a good 4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ – with definite potential for more 🩵🏝️

Swimming with the manta rays at Hanifaru Bay was insane! It’s definitely worth coming here for that experience - we saw around 40. The snorkelling on the hotel reef was amazing too. The views were stunning, and we saw a turtle almost every day, plus dolphins and eagle rays from the beach. I loved the food and it was probably the best place I’ve ever been for desserts. The all-inclusive didn’t include ice creams though. Luckily, the one I bought was melted and wasn’t very nice anyway. The dive centre team were fantastic. They were all really helpful and took some amazing close up GoPro shots for us. The night snorkel was incredible and a lot less scary than I expected. We saw lots of sharks, including nurse and reef sharks, all swimming together. But torches were an extra charge on top of the plus plus (service charge and tax) already added to the price. I was absolutely petrified to scuba dive, but my instructor was brilliant and made me really enjoy it and want to do it again. The water sports were very disappointing. The area we were allowed to use was very limited and some of the staff weren’t very helpful. Overall, most of the staff were amazing and I had a great holiday. I’m really glad we went, but we won’t be returning to this resort.
