Residence Maldives at Dhigurah

The Residence Maldives, truly is paradise! We had the most incredible stay for our honeymoon & could not recommend the Residence islands anymore!! The islands are so special & so beautiful but the staff truly make this island 5*. Every single member of staff was so friendly & warm & the service was impeccable. Hafiz & his team at the Dining Room on Dhigaruh welcomed us with the biggest smile on every visit & went above & beyond to make our meals special. Ramesh in the Library bar made us the best cocktails we’ve ever had & laughed with us over them each evening. Our brilliant housekeeper who bought us cookies each evening. The list could go on & on, every single member of staff deserve a shoutout. The sealife & snorkelling at the residence is incredible. The food & drinks were like no other resort we have ever been to, with so many dining options across the 2 islands & yet an incredible buffet which we were excited to return to. Every single meal we had was perfect. The pools & beach clubs are amazing! The most simple pleasure of walking & biking across the bridge between the 2 islands to spot turtles & sharks. The only feedback I would give is, our room was close to other villas where maintenance was going on so in the day we could hear workmen chatting & banging/sanding. This was only for the last few days of our stay when workmen moved closer (next but 1 villa). But we had the most insane time that this honestly didn’t matter but I would ask to ensure that your room is not close to any necessary repair work. I felt so sad to leave this true paradise which is a sign of the amazing experience we had! Thank you to everyone at the residence!

Opportunities for improvement: Rooms 1. consider using small bottles of water that can fit into the bar fridge. Cold water after a hot day is a game changer! Melange 1. Surf and turf: the big prawns and lobster meat were frozen and were not really attractive. After grilling, the meat turned out to be partially soggy, which is a turn off. 2. Suggestion: for the grill, cook to order instead of preparing the food and leaving it under a heater lamp. I.e. lamb cutlets, pork chops, grilled sea bass etc. Freshly grilled food taste better and maintains the high quality. Grilled food left under a heater lamp becomes either soggy or too tough. 3. Same suggestion for breakfast waffles: make to order rather than leave it on the plates ready to go. Examples of great service: 1. Mariana helped prepare a ice bucket of champagne for us even though the honeymoon comment was not originally registered by trip.com and pullman. She was very helpful and remembers what clients say. Top marks and greatly appreciated! 2. All buggy drivers greet upon pick up and some even went out of their way to reverse so we can video manta rays in shallow waters off our villa. Truly deserving of the great service tag! 3. All waiters serving at all restaurants always asks whether we want water to start off. It feels like an SOP but we love it! Consistent and service with a smile! Was truly a great experience and would love to come back again!
