Accommodation in Raa Atoll

I wanted to spend few days in Maldives, it was low-season and I found this relatively cheap offer with moderate expectations, but I really enjoyed my stay. The All-Inclusive was generous if compared to some other resorts and food quality was superb, diving in the area was amazing even with medium visibility in the time of the year.

The Hotel is very nice ***** We had a BeachVilla with Pool and it was perfect for us and the kids. They clean the house 2 Times per Day and the Staff is very friendly. My Familie really enjoyed the Vacation and we are very happy with Furaveri and will definetly come back soon again. The Food was nice , specially the Pasta was very good , Desserts tasted good and the overall Vibe was perfect. There is every day a nice show and it makes really fun. Greatings to Ahmed , he did a nice job . The Massages and the Diving & Aquasports Center is also very good and i can really recommend it :) The Sea is very nice and there is everyday at 5:30 Sharkfeeding. We was lucky and enjoyed the lighting Plankton in front of our house. Overall we had a excellent stay *****

Beautiful holidays without any complains! Very nice stuff who always help you with everything. The island is also bautiful, you can start your holidays from the the first moment you arrive, perfect stay. We'll come again and reccoment it!

All was good Second time in this hotel

A little piece of paradise I don't write reviews often but this resort is out of this world and pretty much one of the best places we've ever stayed, not only on the Maldives but even world wide. 1) the ambiance: once you touch down you find yourself right in paradise. The champagne welcoming, the little band they set up for new arrivals, the friendliness of all staff is just unbelievable. Your own personal host which in our case was Haseen, what a lovely guy, will take care of you during your stay. Any questions, any planning of your excursions or watersports or spa, even the various dining options, leave it to him, he's there for you! 2) la cuisine: The resort has 5 different restaurants. All of them are outstanding and all of them are managed by chef moreno who is the Italian executive chef. If you would like to eat anything which is not on any of the different menus just ask him, he'll make it for you. Nothing is to much in this resort and this is pretty much the very positive vibe you'll experience 24/7 during your stay! There is no, oh sorry we can't do instead there is a with pleasure. The spaghetti with lobster are to die for, the yellow tuna tartar, the salmon he uses for salmon nigiri and the Indian curries are out of this world. 3) the drinks: By far not every all inclusive hotel in the Maldives supplies top shelf booze, well this one does. Their cocktails are out of this world 4) rooms: absolutely wonderful We had an overwater villa with private pool and everything was fantastic. The details, the atmosphere of the room, just everything. A wonderful fairy who spoilt us rotten with room decorations too. 5) entertainment. This is not a noisy loud hotel yet the evening entertainment is just great with a lovely couple responsible for the live music. Have some of the bars fantastic cocktails with it! Or a glass of champagne 6) watersports and diving: all you can think of. Diving is perfect at the house reef and beyond.

First and foremost, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Each and every person we encountered on our stay was friendly, accommodating and welcoming. So so memorable and provided that personal touch and experience.

The room was kept very clean, being serviced twice a day. The pool belonging to the villa was fantastic and was kept very clean. The service in the restaurant was excellent, with a special mention to Musafir! The dive centre was well organised, as were the dives. The diving at the local reef is not the best though. The beaches around the resort are very nice and kept clean. There is a lot to do for children and they are very welcome everywhere in the resort.

The restaurants were all very nice, with very good food and friendly staff. The beaches were beautiful, white sand with no debris inside, clear waters with fish even close to the shore, very good snorkelling experiences. There weren't many people on the beach, and you could easily find some lonely corners. We brought our own snorkelling gear, but the resort offers snorkelling gear for free of charge for the duration of your stay. The villa we stayed in was very clean and well equipped, and the house keeping service was top notch, coming twice a day to clean (with a nice smell) and make the beds etc. Also, the minibar got refilled each day. There were plenty of various activities included in the all-inclusive package around the resort, including some boat trips. The island was quite big, you could walk from one side to another in around 15-20 minutes (if you have a fast pace). There are also buggy-cars which are going around the island, but the frequency varies depending on the time of the day. We didn't mind walking from one point to the other, though. We usually enjoy a 15-minute walk after dinner. The inner jungle was very nice, and there is a "jungle walk" where you can see all sorts of plants and coconut palm trees. If you miss lunch or breakfast, there are alternatives in-between eating times: the pizza place; bars with sandwiches and snacks. The staff was very friendly everywhere and they tried to accomodate almost all of our wishes. I suggest you keep in mind to have a small tipping budget to give thanks to the staff, because they are all kind. If you liked Dory from "Finding Nemo" - you'll see plenty of Dory fish when snorkelling :)

Everything about our stay was perfect!! We loved our sunset beach pool villa!! The staff were great, very polite and helpful with anything you may want!! The resort and the island is just beautiful and the place is so serene, so you can relax and enjoy your holidays to the fullest!! Totally recommend it!!

I didn't plan to post all my photos and write this much, but... I cannot skip it. I have visited many countries, many top hotels, and resorts, but nothing compares to Joali Being. From the moment you arrive at the airport, until the last step, everything is organized as a perfect 10/10. Where to begin? The resort is new and probably the most modern in the Maldives. I thought UAE had the best hospitality, but no place has even come close to the professionalism of the staff here. The food is top-notch. I ate the best steak, breakfast, and much more. I would write what I recommend, but probably it's worth trying anything. Even though you have to pay for most of the activities, including for simply using the tennis field, I strongly recommend doing the organised activities, because the experience is unique and incomparable. I am very sorry that I skipped many of them, until I had the first ones and realized how they do things. The houses are impeccable, very inspirational in terms of architecture and design. I could write more, but... will leave just this: if you have a chance to try this resort, even for just 4-5 days, try it and it will inspire you for life about how things should be done. Thank you very much for the experience and hope to see you again soon.
