If you are looking for an affordable overwater villa experience, which is truly THE experience in the Maldives, within a reasonably prices speedboat distance from the airport, and you're happy with adults only resort - then this is the place! I shall first emphasize that there were no tricks whatsoever to extract more money during the stay. The only thing we ended up paying beyond the Booking.com reservation was tips that we gave at our will (not exceeding $10 per day in total). No extra charges, no surprises. The place is ranked 4 stars and this is what you get. I bet there are more spectacular places that cost accordingly - but I can say this: at least in July prices, we felt that we received an excellent value for money. The weather BTW was terrific and the resort had under 50% occupancy. 300 staff, almost entirely foreign South-Asian, made sure of very high level of service all around. Smiling, attending, polite, professional. From the warm and efficient check-in by Ms Liane, via the restaurants, cleaning guys, diving center and till the timely speedboat - immaculate attitude and service! We opted for the full board package and it was brilliant. The whole island is a resort - there's nowhere else to go, so instead of thinking too much about costs, do yourself a favor and add that small difference between half and full board. It won't be more than the cost of a burger and soda anyway. Further up is the "all inclusive" - we absolutely do NOT regret not having that because the very generous system here is that every lunch and dinner includes one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic drink per person! so if between a beer with lunch and a nice cocktail with dinner, you still fancy another drink - get yourself a $6 beer or $9 cocktail at the bar, that's it. Lastly, I strongly recommend the overwater villas facing North, number 300s.

The only tangible issue was the serious practice in saving energy for air-conditioning. The AC in the room was OK, not terrible, though it does take time to cool the room. Night sleep was pleasant. However in Ocean restaurant, which is the only one that offers any kind of air conditioning, the AC was set to 30 degrees and that's how it felt. I can only imagine how pleasant it could be with 25... well, if it helps the environment then that' a comfort. It may well be a matter of season and weather, but for all I could gather in 5 nights, the "sunset villa" is just a good marketing. It was always cloudy around sunset and it seems to me that the perfect red sun sinking in the horizon over the perfect water is not a fantasy that an extra $200 will fulfill here.

This resort is very comfortable and clean, the staff is very friendly, Silver is very helpful. Food is tasty, many little sharks around the Viu bar. We can see sunrise from the water villa everyday. Sunset is very beautiful too.

A long construction near the island, you can see it everywhere from the lagoon. If you don’t want to see it, choose the water villa begin with 3 and face the north.

Everything was exceptional. The room was spacious and clean. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Liane couldn’t have done enough for us and made sure the celebration of our special occasion was memorable💝 food was amazing and staff in all dining spaces were very attentive and welcoming. There was a good variety of activities that suited everyone. Centara Ras Fushi will hold a special place in our hearts forever 🥰

We felt that activities such as yoga and Muay Thai should be included as part of the AI package. As the weather was unpredictable when we visited, some of the activities did not go ahead.

Water villas are simple (without bath tubes and other amenities) but you get what you paid for, and I was happy with it. Shared pool is nice. Beach is amazing, and non-motorized water sports are complimentary.

All inclusive package is not actually an all inclusive. It includes dinner in two out of three restaurants, with limited menus that becomes boring after 3 days. If you want to go for something different, the all inclusive package will grant you USD40 credit only. Besides, it does not include snacks and sandwiches in any bars. In terms of meals, the “all-inclusive” is more like a “full-board”. It is good, though. My point is that it should be advertised as such, because all inclusive MUST BE ALL INCLUSIVE.

I loved everything. Food, staff, location, activities, our incredible view. The staff went the extra mile. It was really sad to leave.

The construction around. The cocktails. The shortage of golf carts for the rooms that are far away. I was sick and couldn’t walk the long distance.

The resort is well managed and every detail is systematically handeled by the staff, beginning from smooth transfers from airport to check in and check out. The staff are friendly and courteous. The resort itself is quite peaceful. I stayed at the sunset water villa, and loved waking up to the view and sounds of water everyday. The spa experience was also very relaxing. I ordered the villa dining service quite a few times, and the food was very tasty everytime. The app was very useful for managing bookings and ordering. Overall, I enjoyed my stay quite a lot.

The rooms donot come with slippers. However, I was provided these later upon request.

The staff had a surprise for our anniversary. Made exceptions for our dinner reservation and made every effort to make the experience unforgettable. All the staff had a friendly demeanor and were always smiling.

A couple of things missing from what I expect from a 5 star resort were a toothbrush kit and slippers. Otherwise, the resort is excellent!

We stayed for 10 nights at the water villa. From the moment we arrived we felt like we did a great choice, easy transfer by boat from the airport. Emmi, the receptionist was so amazing and kind, making the check-in process smooth and fast. All the staff in general were amazing, specially the two bartenders at the pool bar (Waves Bar) they always remember what we like, and always smiling and funny conversations. The beach was really great and clean, comfortable beds. The food is great, breakfast, lunch and dinner, the buffet was always changing and specials of the day every dinner. The cooks are doing an amazing job, as well as the waiters and the whole staff in general. The facillities are aslo very clean, and taking care of.

The way of booking tables in the restaurants in the way of capacity and managing the flow of guests, many times we were told it was fully booked but it was not the case, anyway the staff is really kind so none of this affected our experience.

The food, the staff the beach, the room

The location; it was too near the commercial port and all the rigs that sat just off shore, it did not feel the idyllic location the Maldives are meant to be

This resort is one of the most fantastic places I have ever stayed at. The location and scenery is breathtaking, with a thoughtfully laid out resort and staff who are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable (shoutout to Mamun in housekeeping). If you grow tired of the excellent snorkelling or the lounging at the pools and beaches, there is an abundance of activities laid on by the resort each day including live music, fish feeding and yoga. Excursions are extra but are absolutely worth it! The food was heavenly (I'll be dreaming of the breakfast at Oceans for a long time), the atmosphere welcoming and the views absolutely out of this world. Thank you!

I wish I could have stayed longer!
