“Best holiday ever!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here early Feb and it was amazing. The boat to the island was fine and we slept most of the way. However, the boat journey back was awful. It was 6am and dark and we had been having rough seas for two days. I had fun on the boat but my friend was petrified. Even one of the... More

“Great Holiday”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here betwwen the 20th April till the 6th May, and overall the holiday was great. We stayed in the water bungalows and they were well equiped and could see no fault with them. The only thing that I would say is that the water bungalows were advertised as Adults only, maybe it was just the UK travel agents... More

We have just returned from a week at Chaaya Reef (04th to 11th May) and have to say the resort is fantastic.

We arrived at the airport and were met by Zita the rep for First Choice, we had to hang around for about an hour for our boat, but this gave us a chance to change into some summer clothes.

“Absolute Paradise - but too many cut corners to feel really special”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We had the speedboat transfer which was exciting as we saw flying fish and dolphins on route to Ellaidhoo. I don't think it'd be worth it to get the sea plane given how much more it costs. Before you visit - buy a digital underwater camera. You won't regret it. I got the Nikon Coolpix S31. Cheap and cheerful but... More
