Nova Maldives

LikedThe property was clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. After 2weeks I have forgotten some names, the reception staff , forgot our receptionist’s name, other names worth mentioning are chefs Shanta, Sanjeev, James and other young Indian chefs, servers at restaurant, Heidi, Saista, and two local male (names?), Pool bartender, housekeeper, Heidi in Entertainment and many more. We stayed in a Water Villa with Jacuzzi located on the sunset set side and it was fabulous, very well maintained. We had all inclusive package. Overall I would definitely recommend this resort.

DislikedI suppose for all inclusive there were not enough inclusive activities. Those activities that had to be purchased additionally were expensive including Spa.

LikedSuper friendly stuff, various food, great looking bungalows

LikedThis island is a paradise. The staff is amazing, food superb! We will for sure come back! Thank you for taking care of every little thing of our journey!

DislikedNone

LikedThe house reef at Nova is incredible, so many fish, sharks, turtles, octopus, corals. The island are doing amazing conservation work and since we last visited the reef has regenerated. This is so special to see. The water villas are beautiful, and well equipped with steps going straight into the ocean, and so much marine life in this area. The staff are incredible, they make you feel so Welcome and special and such personal touches in remembering food and drink orders, names and the bed art in the rooms. The pool bar and pool are great additions to the island and it really feels like paradise. The spa and massages are the best we have ever experienced. The excursions are wonderful and the entertainment was also brilliant- we especially loved the marine biology talks and the fire shows. This is a very special place.

DislikedThe food in the soul restaurant is great for breakfast and lunch, but not at a good enough standard for dinner given the price that you are paying to stay on the island. As an all inclusive guest you can eat in the Flames restaurant where the food is lovely (much better than the soul restaurant) however the included items are limited, and the price of the non-included items is extortionate. Instead they should Consider a supplement I.e. so guests can pay the difference between included and non-included items or seriously reconsider the pricing. You can eat in Mayfair, London much more reasonably and the pricing against the standard of food is not proportionate. This means depending on the length of your stay you may be eating the same things on several days. The cocktails were not of a high enough standard given the price to Stay here- they were often quite dilute which was a shame.

LikedVery relaxing nice. Bed shall be better and a pillows not up to standards. Staff some of them could make much more affords

DislikedBeautiful modern serene
