Wonderful stay!
The resort is absolutely fabulous! We stayed for 2 weeks and we could not stop admiring the beauty and nature of it. Adaaran Select Medhuparu deserves a 5* star rating considering what it has to offer – stunning beach and house reef, live band and entertainment every evening, impeccable cleanliness both of the villas and public areas, excellently maintained grounds and flora, a variety of delicious and tasty food. Special compliments to the Chef Guru for his highly professional skills!! And the service - a 5 star service offered by the constantly smiling personnel, guys who are always there to help and make us feel warmly welcomed. Rooms are cleaned twice a day with attention to each detail. As we were not happy enough with our beach villa in the beginning (personal reasons, not that the villa was not nice), the Guest Relations Manager AMJAD did his best to satisfy our needs and moved us to another villa, a kind of free upgrade which was so great and responsive of him. Villa 190 – gorgeous sunset views and few meters away to the sand bank. Thank you so much, Amjad, for your professional and qualitative attitude! Thank you Adaaran Select Team for making our holidays unforgettable!

Fantastic snorkeling experience
Great snorkeling and greenery on site. Felt like we were swimming in an aquarium. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Food was great at premium all-inclusive level. A great family vacation. Male airport experience was a bummer. Had to spend 3 hours there on arrival missing valuable beach time. Hotel had us at Male airport 4 hours before departure, one hour before Singapore Airlines counter even opened. Would have preferred more beach time and less airport time. This didn’t seem to be a priority for the hotel.

very old resort, poor facilities but nice island
I spent 10 days, starting from the island, it's nice but the property need to invest money to keep it nice, it's horrible to see on the beach plastic bag with sand to preserve the beach, spend money for a better solution! everything it's so old, ok it's clean but it's looks to be back in the 70's, the room are simple horrible and the bathroom so sad! the food is quiet good but very boring, always the same and more shocked is that they serve only one type of fish..if you want sometging different you have to pay EXTRA, is that a joke? we are in Maldives they have basically the fish that jump inside the pot! the breakfast is only until 9.30, who want to get up so early on holiday? I thought was a good deal seing the positive coment but you just pay less and have a poor service, I would had pay bit more but had an amazing stay! they don't know what is mean all inclusive as you have just breakfast, lunch and dinner. then 2 poor snak but with the choice of only 2 items! a port from the water in the mini bar everything is extra charge, what?? all inclusive it's mean all! so if you feel hungry in the late evening or night no option! the gym is useless, so old and dated. it's nice that you have your sun bad in front off the room and you can have a quiet time there. the Wi-Fi fi is unavailable only at the bar, restaurant and reception, so bad! the restaurant is open so it's a sauna, specially in the evening, they shuld give the option of an air condition space! good the staff

nice hotel, perfect setting, suprisingly good food
so this being the first all inclusive holiday ive ever been on, i was pleasently surprised. all inclusive means buffet dinner every night- and i thought i woukd get bored of it; however they have different themes every night the barbeque night was my favourite! with barbeequed chicked serfved just away from the main resturaunt on the sand. they always had a local/traditional option or two in the main resturaunt which were quite delicious! if you fancy a change however there are lots of other options available at extra cost including private dining, water villa dining, beach barbeque with fresh fish/shellfish or even a romantic lobster dinner. there is a seperate resturaunt - cafe mass which offers an ala carte menu which is ok - and of all the bars on the island be sure to visit sunrise bar. it is the most out of the way, and so the least busy, but right on the sea, and there is a perfect breeze there always. i would reccomend that your villa is either numbered 300 upwards or 178 downwards then the beach outside your villa will be majical, and youve. no need for a daily walk to the main beach by the pool, you can just use your own bit of beach as if it were your own! we stayed in 209 and the beach here was difficult to walk on as it was littered with broken bits of coral. not that we tried, but i heard from other guests that this was were the best snorkeling was to be had, and we did see rays, and baby sharks whikst walking home along our beach.

Great environment
Stayed here for 6 nights at beach villa with my wife and 1-year old son. Everything was perfect except for the mediocre food and a bit old room AC and furnuture. Food was mediocre but the chef was great. He did everythinng possible to make our meals pleasent for us. He prepared special dishes (even including pizza only for us) for both us and our son. They tried to serve something different everyday but i think the ingredients they peurchase are average. Thats why the food could be better. Besides that it was a great experience. Snorkeling, dive center, entire staff are great. Whatever we asked from them, they fulfilled. All inclusive beer and wine was very good as well. I havent tried much liquor but good brands are available for a reasonable price.

Awesome all inclusive stay - great location - whole island is the resort. Beautiful waters and beach- excellent for snorkeling. Not very luxurious overall - but good value for money. All inclusive package with beach villa. For a much more detailed review please go to trip advisor and look for either my name or this resort and I have given a detailed account.

Bedbug attact and unkind staffs
We just came back from Maldives with full of unhappy memories.We've got hugh bedbug attact (over 100 bites). and all staffs from reception to waiters never smile and very unkind.It was very uncomfortable staying there and don't want to recommand to anyone who wants to go there.It was our 2nd trip to maldives and we were so happy with our first trip but we had to bring all our dollar bills back what we prepare for tips in this trip. There are lots of extra charges shuch as Wifi(You only can use it restaurant area with purchasing prepaid card) fresh juice(orange juice costs four dollars per cup) snorkel gears(seperate charge on each items-vest, mask,fins) And only guest rooms have airconditioner. Restaurant, Bar, Reception are opend plan. It is very hot without A/C and lots of bug all around..Their check out time is 12;00 and they set people's seaplane schedule on late afternoon. People have to empty their room at 12:oo and wait at reception area or Bar for 5-6 hours without A/C . If you want to stay in room, have to pay 125 dollars for 5 hours. I asked them to set plane schedule to morning time but they didn't .But the most worst part was staffs.

All inclusive resort on a private island
This resort was outstanding. The facilities were nice and comfortable. The staff was amazingly friendly, always smiling and very helpful. The food was good and diversified. No need to pay double for a water villa. I personnally found more convenient to have a villa on the beach rather than on the water. The only negative comment is about the music entertainment at night which was pretty boring.

Excellent hotel, friendly staff, good food & drink
This was a fantastic Christmas & New Year (2013) beach holiday. The hotel is lovely (we were in room 274 - ask for a room in the range 264 - 290 (away from the sea wall - where the sand is harder to walk on because of coral fragments and where access to the sea is down steps). We had direct access to the sea from our villa, close to where the sea plane landed, took off, and moored overnight. It added to the atmosphere of being on a remote island. The all inclusive food and drink were lovely and the service was outstanding. The staff were lovely and we spent a lot at the end in tips for the wonderful people who served our drinks, cleaned our room, swept the leaves etc. etc. I recommend upgrading to the Water Villa's for the end of your stay (we spent our last day and night in one - about £330 to upgrade and a wonderful experience). I strongly recommend this resort - I have had a number of holidays in the sun in Goa and in Nice, but this was the best. The snorkelling was excellent - many coloured fish and we saw dolphins from a distance. The temperature was hot but not absolutely unbearable. It was sunny for about 85% of the time and only one day was cloudy and rainy (but warm). We spent that day in the pool sipping beer. Food-wise, the beef and other meats were, surprisingly, better than the seafood. Have the omelette for breakfast! You will love this place and its warm welcome. When we left on the seaplane, as it moved away from shore, the staff unfurled a goodbye banner!

Perfect break
Flying in by seaplane on a beautiful sunny day was the perfect start to a perfect break. The only minor complaint about the trip was the interminable time it took for our bags to be delivered but that was quickly forgotten stepping out to the deck of our beach villa and straight onto the white sand and into the blue water. We were on the south side of the island so we were woken up early every morning by the seaplane which parked overnight. No biggie for us but something to be aware of if you're a sleeper. We took the all inclusive package which worked great and as we were only there for a few days the buffet food every day was fine for us and being able to go up to one of the bars and order cocktails at will was wonderful. The only extras was the romantic seafood beach dinner (which was great) and we did some scuba diving (awesome). We'd definitely go back!

Beautiful beach, excellent stuff
We were first time in Maldives. We stayed 6 days in this hotel in all inclusive plan. We were together with 2 more friends. We had great time there! Many things to do - snorkelling, diving, beach parties. Island is enough big, everybody can find something for themselves. Food was good, lot of choose. Alcohol was not great quality on all inclusive. Stuff was very friendly, good service. All beaches were not with direct view to the beach. Beach Willa was more like garden Willa. From terrace could see neighbours. Rooms very big, comfortable. Outside shower was great! But bathroom very simple equipped - just shower cup and 2 peaces of soap and 2 shampoos.
