Paradise Island Resort & Spa

The property is amazing; specially the water villa and havens. The sea food restaurant is good - though limited choice ; so is the Italian one ...over all an excellent place to stay. There are certain not so good points too - Airport transfer is arranged at a price but the quality of the boats differ ( and mind it the transfer is not that cheap - ) . While going to the resort it was very ordinary speed boat ; while coming back it was an air conditioned -proper one . The drinks serve in the bar is less potent than in the sea food restaurant Checking in and reception is very slow - however the house keeping guys and buggy boys are super efficient

Overall good just very less vegetarian food option

After our extensive research, we chose Paradise Island because it fit our budget and all of the criteria that we wanted for our honeymoon. We were not disappointed. Althroughout our stay, Paradise Island met every expectation that we had: 1) We never had any problems about cleanliness. We loved our room so much (including the jacuzzi!). It looked exactly like the photos. They also clean the rooms twice a day! 2) It's such a large island to explore, and nice to be around other couples and families. We spent a lot of time in the sports center (it's free!), and the wifi is strong. There are so many things to do, it's impossible to get bored. But even when the resort is full, you will never feel too crowded. 3) It's true that there's a part of the island where you can see buildings of Male and it ruins the vibe, but it shouldn't be too concerning especially if you get a room in a good location. 4) There are many delicious and varied food options, and the portions are quite large (good for sharing if you don't have a big appetite!). 5) Lastly, all the staff are so professional and hospitable. Our stay would not have been as wonderful without the careful attention from Lenlyn, Ibad, Ara, Nazim Uddin, Ziyad, Marvesh, Razzan, the Lagoon and Italian restaurant staff, the boat guys for Wanderlust, and the spa ladies at Araamu. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, one that we will never forget. Our deepest thanks to all of the staff!!!

Booked this vacation to get away from the construction and over population of Downtown Fort Lauderdale & Fort Lauderdale beach to be extremely disappointed Our original water villa view was a few tall building and cranes on the neighbor island of Hulhumalé . Service was the worst of any of our hotel stays . Restaurants : the front desk at the breakfast restaurant was very amigable and nice , specially Ara but service was not good . Italian restaurant the best . Don’t go to the seafood , we ordered a prefixed seafood fest at $65 per person and the seafood was bad , grilled prawns tasted like mashed potatoes and the calamari and fish was like rubber and tasteless. After traveling almost 30 hrs to this place . I regret not traveling a little further to other resorts .

Paradise Island is truly beautiful. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. Everything has been thought through for your comfort and safety. It was such a memorable experience.
