Filitheyo Island Resort

Il posto è veramente molto bello, l'atollo è piuttosto isolato, ha solo questo resort. Inoltre il Filitheyo è circondato dalla barriera corallina, ma organizza anche molte escursioni per snorkeling e avvistamento altri animali acquatici. Ogni tanto peccano un po' di organizzazione, ma sicuramente questo non ha inficiato nel nostro soggiorno. Lo consiglio e io stessa ci tornerei.

很乾凈，很喜歡氣氛

Cleverly arranged resort with lots of trees, plants and a pleasant amount of shade. The welcome was warm with an informative introduction. The staff are unobtrusively friendly and courteous. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday! !

We visited Filitheyo in July a late 60th birthday treat for my Husband . We have to take our holidays at this time of year as my Husband is allocated holidays, we knew this wasn’t the best time to visit The Maldives but as we had been to another island the previous year in May which again isn’t the best time and had glorious weather we were willing to chance it . We arrived at Male to sunshine and 30 degree heat which continued for the whole holiday. The rain we had was in the evening or at night with just a few cloudy days. We were welcomed off the boat with cold towels and smiling faces followed by a lovely refreshing mocktail. We were then shown details of the island any questions were answered and then were given a jet lag neck/shoulder massage. Very much appreciated after such a long journey. What can I say about Filitheyo having already been to a bigger island with lots of restaurants we were not sure if just a buffet would be enough for us,. It was more than enough the food quality was amazing with different dishes and even though we were there for 2 weeks there were no identical days, some dishes were repeated and we were pleased about that with some. The Island is a lovely size small enough to walk around and so well looked after. The rooms are not posh but are kept spotlessly clean and have everything you need. We were in a water Bungalow which was lovely being able to see the fish as we relaxed on the deck but was a little noisy on nights when it rained or was windy. The Sunset bar and pool area was one of our favourite things about the island. The service the pool and the views were great. The house reef was stunning we saw so many fish unfortunately we didn’t see a turtle but the amount we did see made up for it. The thing that makes the Island so special are the staff. Every single member of staff met you with a smile and wanted to make your holiday special. We had few favourites a special Thank you to Mamun who met us each morning with beds ready and 2 iced coffees. Thanks also to Mazin our waiter and Yaish who helped when Mazin was off. What an amazing team you have at The Sunset Bar including Viraj,Mahesh, Dinusha, Raj and manager Hussain. All the staff in every bar and on the whole island were great. The value for money was great with the great food and service at half the cost of other islands . A. Special Thank you to you all at Filitheyo and can’t wait to return. If there was one negative it is the roofs on the Water Bungelows last 5 need replacing and unfortunately the first view you have of the island is those bungalows covered in green tarpaulin which distracts from the beauty of the Island. Hopefully when we return they will be sorted.

Resort staffs - The resort manager is unmannered and very cheap guy who doesn’t have the manners to talk. Resort staffs are good . Accommodation- The rooms are as equivalent to a 1.5 star rooms very dirty furniture with meagre maintenance. Drinking water is chargeable. WiFi is chargeable. Transfer - Return transfer they will provide connecting seaplanes which is very inconvenient. Food - Food is stale and we were 16 friends out of that 6 people got food poisoning issues. When inquired from resort staffs they told its common here and everyday 3-4 cases comes . Unmannered Resort manager started arguing when complaining about food . Cleanness - Rooms are very dirty and nobody bothers to do housekeeping . Even after repeated requests the cleaning guys don’t do housekeeping on regular basis. In short it is advised not to visit as the money spent is not worth at all . Further the resort manager is the most unmannered staff we communicated over there .

Our trip to the Filithio island resort has been a wonderful one so far. The hospitality of the resort staff is very good... You are greeted with smiling faces and cheerful good mornings... They are ever ready to help and make your stay the most comfortable one! We travelled with our 7 year old daughter... The staff ensured that she had an extra comfortable bed in the water villa, they kept her entertained during our meal times and showered her with some interesting gifts such as a leaf grasshopper, which she adores and wants to take back home to show her friends!! The food is exquisite with a variety of local and global cuisine. We are from India and the chef ensured that we always had some variety of Indian delicacies such as aaloo paratha, or Dal fry! Chef Sohail also organized a cooking class for the guests and taught us the recipe of Kuli mass... a local fish delicacy... Overall our trip was a fantastic one with memorable moments all thanks to the lovely staff of Filithio Island resort.
