Rahaa Resort Maldives

Hi everyone 🙂 Rahaa is a beautiful island — peaceful and relaxing. No rush, no noise. If it weren’t so far from the Czech Republic, I’d come back tomorrow! 😀 I don’t understand the negative reviews — I’d really like to know what those people eat at home. We enjoyed the food there. 😊 A truly beautiful island with very friendly staff — many thanks to them for everything. ❤️🌺🤩🐔✈️🤗❤️

We honestly can’t thank this resort and its wonderful owner enough for such an unforgettable stay for me and my son. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The island itself is a true piece of natural paradise incredibly private, peaceful, and the perfect place to completely switch off and unwind. There was never any pressure, just total relaxation in what felt like a real picture-postcard setting. What really made our holiday special was the incredible staff. Every single person we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel completely at home. We had waited many years for a trip like this and have been lucky enough to travel to many countries, but this experience truly exceeded them all it was a dream come true, and was a holiday of a lifetime. We had seen a few negative reviews prior to arrival, but they simply don’t reflect our experience and their loss was our gain. You can’t please everyone and for us, this place was nothing short of perfect. Thank you for the memories — we loved every second and will treasure this holiday forever. We truly hope to return one day!

My wife and I stayed at this resort in the Maldives with a couple of friends, and unfortunately it turned out to be one of the worst travel experiences we have ever had. The resort presents itself on social media and on its website as a luxury destination with beautiful beaches, amazing food, drinks, and plenty of activities. In reality, the experience was completely different and extremely disappointing. The property is clearly not well maintained. Many areas look old, neglected, and in poor condition. There are broken chairs, damaged facilities, and even parts of the roof in some areas appear to be falling apart. The overall impression is that the place has not been properly maintained for quite some time. Our room was advertised as having a “lagoon view,” but what we actually saw looked more like a stagnant pond with still, smelly water. The beach around the resort was full of seaweed, which made the area smell unpleasant and look very far from the paradise that is advertised online. Hygiene was also a serious issue. We found ants inside our room and bathroom, saw a large spider in the room, and even noticed rats near the area where we were staying. The dining experience was equally disappointing. The food selection was very limited, and on several occasions we saw bugs and even roaches around the food. The resort promotes a variety of activities and amenities, but there was very little to do. There is no swimming pool, the drink selection was extremely poor, and overall there was almost no entertainment or activities available for guests. The only positive aspect of the experience was the staff. The employees were friendly and clearly trying their best to help, even though communication was sometimes difficult because many of them do not speak much English. Their kindness was appreciated, but unfortunately it cannot make up for the overall condition of the resort. In our opinion, the resort is being falsely advertised online. It may have been a nice property when it first opened, but today it feels neglected and far from the luxury experience that is being promoted. Considering how expensive this resort is, the experience was extremely disappointing for all of us. Sadly, we cannot recommend staying here.

Overall our experience at this resort was fantastic. We stayed in an ocean view villa for a week. Negatives: the biggest let down for us was the waiting time at Male international airport. We arrived after having already taken two international flights to be told there was a 6 hour delay until our domestic flight. While we were given a lounge with lots of food and drinks this just isn’t satisfactory. We found out that the hotel only have two transfers a day. This should be advertised so that people are prepared. There is no evening entertainment or daytime activities such as yoga. Positives. Staff were out of this world amazing. Very attentive. Worked so hard and such long hours. Our room was kept immaculate. Our mini bar was stocked daily. Food was varied and enjoyable (even for someone who doesn’t eat chicken or fish) there were always plenty of veggie dishes and beef dishes. My husband ate everything and loved it. There is a free snorkelling trip each day which I would highly recommend and also excursions that you can pay for which were fantastic. The turtle snorkelling was a highlight for me. With this hotel you get what you pay for. You are able to experience the beauty of the Maldives at a reasonable price compared to some of the islands closer to male airport that are 5 star.
